The Crisis in Japan!

Mr. John · Mar 13, 2011 9:55 PM

Hey Spyrofourm I'm sure everyone has heard about the earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan! I just wish to send all my regards out to them and wish them all the best God Bless!

And God Bless other awesome countries like Chile, Colombia, and Russia wish them all the best and may Jesus and God watch over and protect them! That is all Stormy anyone sorry if this does not belong here any of the mods can lock it now.

Nothing wrong with this topic being here. It was a terrible thing and if I get a chance for deployment in the area I will most likely take it, but indeed keep the people of Japan in your prayers.

I really wish the game companys there are safe otherwise i'll give up gaming in general since all the good games(Other than Bethsoda and Bioware)come from there.And anime that too.

I wouldn't waste my time worrying over that stuff! Gotta remember the people who lost their homes and families! yikes

ontels · Mar 13, 2011 11:13 PM

I heard the damage was minor actually...

JazzJackrabbit · Mar 13, 2011 11:35 PM

The Kanto Region is fine, but I care more about the people in the less urban areas at this time, not the computer companies.

riverhippo · Mar 13, 2011 11:41 PM

Minor damage?

Well, even if only one person died, it would still be worth noting.

I was fortunate that the tsunami hit a more rural area of the island. And yes, the media will spin their own story on the tragedy. But seeing any of those video clips of the flood water completely taking over the land is pretty amazing.

Current death toll is at 977.

Mr. John · Mar 13, 2011 11:53 PM

Oh my gosh that's horrible :'(

RedDragonX · Mar 14, 2011 1:15 AM

Death toll is being estimated at over 10,000 and the problem isn't so much the damage caused by the earthquakes and such but the possibility of nuclear meltdowns in their reactors.

oh as long as the games are ok right? very sensitive >_<

It truly is terrable and may the victems rest in peace affter this terrable tragidy and lets hop things start to get better, i mean if that plant enters melt down then it truly would be a MAJOR MAJOR MAJOR disaster.

also I heard the Pokimon creator was killed aswell sad R.I.P.

EDIT: hmm odd my friend must have been missinformed turns out the creator died a while ago but still R.I.P.

Aceedwin · Mar 14, 2011 4:45 PM

It's been weird hearing about the crisis. It started off not looking too nasty, just a flood and a few dozen casualties. Then it rose to hundreds, and then nuclear reactors were hit, and so on, until it's been called the worst time since 1945. It's really snuck up on me.

ontels · Mar 14, 2011 7:38 PM

Yeah I onlly heard about the quake which hardly did anything, but then I heard about the tsunami and floods and thats the real disaster.

36IStillLikeSpyro36 · Mar 14, 2011 8:55 PM

last i heard, a couple buildings had fallen down, maybe 300 died, and some waves were expected to hit California and Hawaii.

wow, that's terrible.

RIP to the victims, and hopefully some kind of recovery will begin soon.

if it hasn't already; i don't keep up on current events much anymore.

but i have to wonder: with all our current technology, i'm sure we can tell when the tectonic plates are about to collide, especially to this magnitude. could no more have been done to prepare?

The plates don't just 'collide'. They push up against each other little by little until the pressure in the ground is just too great. We can't predict pressure changes over the entire planet's surface at 30,000 feet deep. Especially underwater.

However, the tsunami is different. There is no excuse for why so many people were still near the shore when it happened.

ontels · Mar 14, 2011 9:04 PM

I don't think we have the technology to predict exactly when and were the Earths crust is going to move.

If any of you guys have cell phones and some extra money, you can donate by texting REDCROSS to 90999. Ten dollars will be added to your next phone bill and will go towards relief.

It is horrible. sad Been praying for days for Japan. The poor people. I wish I could go over and help... but I don't have enough money. I guess I'll just donate to the Red Cross or something.

And btw, the Pokemon creator is alive. It was a rumor that he passed away.

O-o very odd Rumor then...infact its borderline just sick O_O.

I always wanted to go to Japan, its deffinetly on my list but it cost a LOAD to go still I'll find a way to go one day

Mr. John · Mar 15, 2011 4:10 PM

I'll go one day too and help in any way I can with the rebuilding.

ontels · Mar 15, 2011 6:04 PM

Hmmm, something tells me you guys just want to go to Japan rebuilding or not.

Clock-la · Mar 15, 2011 6:27 PM

TBH as ignorent as this may sound but I was'nt realy planning to go in order to rebuild, its a place I'v been wanting to go to anyway, still I guess if the need arose tongue

Mr. John · Mar 15, 2011 9:20 PM

Same could be said for me. If they needed help with rebuilding by then though I would be glad to help.

Aceedwin · Mar 15, 2011 10:04 PM

I'm sure the third or fourth richest country in the world can handle it, once they've got their feet back on the ground.

Erza · Mar 16, 2011 9:37 AM

Poor Japan. My heart goes out to them. <3

Yeah it is an odd rumor, so I'm hoping he'll be okay, as for all the other people in Japan.
I've always wanted to go to Japan. I've always been interested in their culture and I would be in heaven if I did go there. But now, after all that is happened, I will probably donate money to them to help rebuild their country. Such a shame I don't have the money to fly over there and help them.
