That shit is ****ed.

Yeah thats nuts.. About 20 years ago I believe they changed the earthquake scales on how they rate them, so this quake was actually a 9.9 if we go by the older (real) scale.

I like how he was talking about how the land could 'go' while walking around on it. Another triumph for common sense and self-preservation.

Well, reporting is a dangerous job. When in a war zone, they also get shot at, get in cross fires etc...

Yeah, Richter has been obsolete for a while now. I can't seem to find a conversion factor.

aha, political correctness at its best then🙂

Looks like some parts of Japan could become uninhabitable considering the nuclear situation. Really not a good idea building nuclear power plants on earthquake ridden areas then.

I was thinking that they could take "measures" quite easily to account for that, you know?

They did and it failed.

Political correctness would be the opposite.
