Yea I was watching this live at 3 am this morning. Crazy stuff. My heart goes out to all those over there in Japan and anywhere else that is in the "tsunami zone".

My cousin and uncle went over there 3 days ago for a karate tournament for my cousin. My aunt finally received an email around 6 am PST this morning.

I was on the phone from about 3-5 trying to connect to the hotel, I got through twice, but the system was so bad that everything the lady was saying was echoing about 5 seconds after she said it the first time so it was extremely hard to hold a conversation, especially since English was her second language.

But thankfully my cousin and uncle were okay, they had to walk 8 miles back to their hotel from a mall they were at,; they were on the 6th floor of a mall while the quake was going on. On their way back they stopped at a convenient store to get lunch but all that was left was beer and gum.

So yeah, scary times yo.

the quake and the sunami wont be their biggest problem if they dont get the nuclear power plant stable. was a good idea building that next to a major fault line. glad to hear your family is ok Dal.

Same here, watched the events in real time, thinking the whole time "this can't end well".


However Japan has already released the quake bots and the country already looks 100% unaffected.

Technology is crazy over there.

you didnt think Japan, of all places, would have bots that could search rubble? im more surprised they didnt have bots to look for bots that were trapped. thousands of humans trying to stabalize the nuclear plant sorrounded by sounds of claptrap voices looking for each other
