I can do it in the meantime.
@BBCBreaking via Twitter said: 1932: mayu in Tokyo tweets: "Earthquake is still going on. Such a crazy day today. Furious nature..." Edit: erm, nevermind. @BBCBreaking via Twitter said: 1937 GMT: California Governor Jerry Brown has said he has directed the state's emergency management agency (Cal EMA) to make state resources available to the Japanese government. "We stand ready to assist them", he added. Mr Brown also urged Californians to heed tsunami warnings.

Edit: erm, nevermind. Sorry. =P They just said that USGS reported the original quake ruptured the sea floor for 150 miles.
@BBCBreaking via Twitter said: 1940 GMT: The 8.9-magnitude earthquake which struck Japan on Friday was the strongest in the area in nearly 1,200 years, David Applegate, a senior science adviser at the US Geological Survey, tells the Associated Press. He says the quake ruptured a patch of the earth's crust 240km (150 miles) long and 80km (50 miles) across. Does rupture mean there's just cracks extending, or that there's now a gaping hole?
That's what I immediately wondered :| But I think it means there's a 50-mile-wide gaping hole...
Kanjirou, take over for abit, I'm gonna go find my cup of tea.. Dunno where I put it. o_o

@BBCBreaking via Twitter said: 1944: Ben Hentschel in Tokyo tweets: "can't sleep. earthquakes the whole night... its 4:30am right now... just can't close my eyes" prayers going up for those affected...^^ hugs
They're showing lots of people's cell-phone videos and whatnot right now. This stuff is just surreal.
@BBCBreaking via Twitter said: 1949: An "energy map" provided by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) shows the intensity of the tsunami caused by the earthquake which struck Japan. Obama's speaking now. @BBCBreaking via Twitter said: 1952: Pope Benedict XVI was "deeply saddened by the brutal and tragic consequences of the severe earthquake and tsunami that struck north-eastern coastal regions" of Japan, a telegram sent by Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone on his behalf to Japan's Roman Catholic bishops says. The pope was praying for the dead and hoped that their families and friends would find "strength and consolation", it adds. Valefor.Slipispsycho said: Wow, this is pretty bad.. I think someone mentioned something about Japan having an earthquake last night just as I was going to bed, but I never expected anything like this. I heard about it last night while I was skilling up, so I was only half there and didn't completely think. :/ Now that I've heard the whole thing, this really is awful for Japan, so add another one sending condolences. @BBCBreaking via Twitter said: 1958: The Japanese ambassador to the UK, Keiichi Hayashi, has told the BBC it is impossible to impossible to estimate the number of dead at this stage: "We are still in the process in the process of determining what happened and it looks like there are a number of missing people in addition to the number of victims that we have so far counted. It is not just Japanese nationals about whom we are concerned. There are nearly 20,000 British nationals in Japan, but I have not heard of any casualties among UK nationals." You could hear his voice cracking, too, he was really working to keep it together. :( Maybe posted already, but not bothering to check. Maru the cat is safe.

Glad you're safe! Titan.Sphinxx said: Maybe posted already, but not bothering to check. Maru the cat is safe. Next up on my list of concerns: Mr. Uematsu and Mr. Mitsuda @BBCBreaking via Twitter said: 2006: Three to four new power supply cars have arrived at the Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear plant in north-eastern Japan to provide emergency electricity for the earthquake-damaged cooling system of one reactor, the World Nuclear Association has said. The power cars are being prepared for connection, the WNA said, citing the Japanese ministry of economy, trade and industry. Other power modules are being flown in. Titan.Sphinxx said: Maybe posted already, but not bothering to check. Maru the cat is safe. Did Wada make it? Please tell me he didn't. *Crosses fingers*

@BBCBreaking via Twitter said: 2009: The World Nuclear Association said pressure inside the containment of Reactor 1 at Fukushima-Daichi had been steadily increasing over the time that its emergency core cooling systems had not been active. The Tokyo Electric Power Company reported at 0200 local time (1700 GMT) that pressure had increased beyond reference levels, but was within engineered limits, the WNA added. @BBCBreaking via Twitter said: 2012: Nick Gunn in Chiba, Japan, writes: "All children and staff at Makuhari International School safe despite severe quake. Around 6O pupils and adults stranded in school overnight but comfortable and in relatively good spirits. Aftershocks every few minutes continuing throughout the night." Have Your Say |
