Japan is infamous for quakes.

 

[aleonn]

[saltyfishd]

"Japan lies on the "Ring of Fire" — an arc of earthquake and volcanic zones stretching around the Pacific where about 90 percent of the world's quakes occur"

My heart goes out to the Japanese and the reefers who lost their tanks

Wow......that's too bad for the people of japan let's hope that relieves some pressure off the plates and saves us from having a big quake here

My heart goes out to the Japanese and the reefers who lost their tanks

I don't think their tanks are the biggest concern for anyone that has been affected by the earthquakes/tsunami.

 

[bnaef17]

Yes. My heart goes out to all those captive-bread marine species that lost their lives in this great tragedy

 

[montego]

Dang the impact of the earthquake was huge.. Hopefully we respond again and help another country with donations to help rebuild.

Wow... I heard this for the first time and immediately thought of some of the reefers I've gotten to know here on RC that live in Japan. I sure hope everyone is okay...

 

[EndlessSummer]

Makes you think, if something hit here. Venice, parts of ventura and parts of orange county wouldnt stand much of a chance.

I'm very curious to see what the final death tolls are going to be. This is tragic, and my heart goes out to them, so don't take that the wrong way. What I'm saying is, this is a modern, busy place. Buildings built for quakes. The casualties should not be near those of Chile, Indonesia, etc. The real chaos is going to be over the next few days. No power. Tons of injuries. How will they deal with it? I'd like to think if something like that happened here, we'd fair FAR better than most. If anything, I'd be most concerned with the madness after the quake. (and that includes the looting, the losers that do anything to take advantage of a horrible situation)

My thoughts and prayers are with everyone in Japan, that's for sure.

With no power and 30 degree temps it could get very very bad for the aftermath.
