Not looking good for that Nucular Reactor. Two explosions already. Isn't there some way of completely shutting them down?

Apparently not and using sea water to cool the reactor is 'an act of desperation' according to US Nuclear experts....plain or fresh water is the required medium. Obviously, not a lot of that around at the moment :¬(

Really pleased to hear that you and yours are safe Machie :¬) ....so you'll be really pleased with this mundane information .... back to Ikea again today!! Mrs DL is obsessed with wardrobes :¬D No, we didn't bring any home this time but these will have to be collected or delivered pretty soon....you know how obsessive wardrobe freaks can be :¬D Take care.

YAY! Glad to hear you're okay Machie. Still not heard from some other Japanese friends, but hoping they are okay and safe. I was somehow tied into a small-ish broadcast about the events that took place yesturday. It was horrible having to repeat some of the reports to those listening.

It did make me realise just how contradictary some of the reports were though, especially those from different countries since the original reports. The rumours going around at the time just esculated things, such as the Pokemon creator had died. Which also resulted in people making jokes FAR too early...(Given the same treatment as SonicChris' joker)

At the moment people from my course are trying to persuade my University to do some sort of fund-raising event. However the Student Union are not entirely 100% sure whether or not to do something, so trying to come up with some ideas that everyone will agree with. Take care!~

We had some absolute idiot in our sixth form yesterday make possibly the most unpopular comment ever. We were watching the news on the TV in the sixth form canteen, and obviously all it was all about Japan, and it showed pictures of the tsunami and stuff. This a-hole turns round and says "Looks like Blastoise has used surf" to which everyone just stared at him. Safe to say nobody sat with him at lunch.

No, it wasn't me

*EDIT* Oh, and unsurprisingly, people are already coming up with theories etc. ie. the usual rubbish that people come up with after a major disaster. Somebody's thought this: 11 09 01 - America lost lives. 10 03 11 - Japan lost lives. Add them together, and what do you know! 21 12 12. So does that mean the Mayans were right about the end of the world? No, it does not. December 21, 2012 is simply the day that the calendar will go to the next baktun. We've already experienced several baktun's, and they do not signal the end of the world, just a new period of time.

Sorry about the rant, it's just that "2012" really annoys me.

Morning all.

Yey! Machie's ok. Glad to hear you escaped the worst.

Next important question; Nintendo's office is ok, right?

But seriously, my thoughts go out to everyone out there and hope they can minimise further impact to the people and buildings. Probably going to take some time to get back on their feet in the worst hit areas, hopefully other countries will send aid to help. The Japanese economy will be badly hit too, which in turn affects the world economy and those that rely on parts and exports from Japan.

Fantastic news to hear you're all fine Machie :) Still a horrible event nonetheless.

Morning everyone,

Machie,really glad to hear your OK mate.Like most of us been following developments on the news,it's just horrible.
