  Update: Japan's Nuclear Power Plants have been shut down just after the tsunami attack. Public broadcaster NHK showed flames and black smoke billowing from a building in Odaiba, a Tokyo suburb, and bullet trains to the north of the country were halted. Black smoke was also pouring out of an industrial area in Yokohama's Isogo area. TV footage showed boats, cars and trucks floating in water after a small tsunami hit the town of Kamaichi in northern Japan. An overpass, location unknown, appeared to have collapsed into the water.

  Destruction on a large scale. But you can't compare the casualties with what we had in India in 2004 Tsunami on the east coast! Things are supposedly changing in India. We have a good alert system now against Tsunami and they declared just after 20 mins of quake that it won't hit Indian coasts!

  NO, no such thing will happen. Those are all fake predictions (I hope so).

  maria flor

  I hope the 2012 prediction will not happen.... I want to be an engineer someday!!!!
• 

  PraveenKumar Purushothaman

  Ha! We will be watching 2012 Movie during 2013 and laughing at it... Guys, understand... How can there be a mass destruction? Even GP predicts the Earth will be totally water only on 2057. So, I guess Maria will be an Engineer and so on... Don't worry, Biggie...

  My condolences to those effected by this disaster. As much as Japan was prepared for the quake, tsunamis are a lot harder to protect against. Insane power of water. Lets hope they manage to contain their nuclear reactors in time.

  Lets hope they manage to contain their nuclear reactors in time.

  yeah i hope for the same too...
  the last thing they need is a nuclear leak to add up to their problems 😔
• 

  maria flor

  Hoping that they can manage to prevent the leak on the nuclear plant and no people near there will be affected by the radiation.

  1) The earth's axis shifted by 4 inches.
  2)The GPS station at Honshu, Japan was found to have shifted by 8 feet i.e. the land area decreases by 8 feet.
  3) The earth will now complete one rotation 1.6 microsecond earlier i.e. th length of the day decreases by that amount of time.
  4) Around 20,000 people have been estimated to be injured.

  ISHAN TOPRE

  As we can all see that restoration works in Japan are in full swing. Why don't we share about those we come to know? It will help make clear the picture as to how the work is proceeding.
  
  I got the following information.
  The National disaster Response force (NDRF) from Bharat is helping Japan government in restoration process. It is 46 member team who started works from March 28 has found 10 dead bodies. They have also found jewelery and currency notes in the demolished areas which they have returned to local authorities. The Japanese government has asked Bharat to extend their services for 10 more days and Bharat has readily agreed.
  Hope everyone gets back to normal life soon.
