Everybody but Japan seem to be panicking about the earthquake. I was watching the news and the anchorman asked, “So how are the Japanese people and government taking it? Has there been any panic or chaos?” two which the reporter answered, “.....No. Not really”
I was living in Japan at the time of this earthquake, though not in the Touhokku area that was hit hardest by it. The worst I had to deal with was a broken mug, no trains to get me to/from work (so I had to walk or get a lift from staff) and there wasn't much food in the convenience stores.
The biggest concern was the radiation from Fukushima. I'm sure it's still a problem but no-one talks about it.
@Igirisu The Fukushima powerplant is a big deal for many years. remember even in the two cities America bombed whit nuclear bombs are hardly livable areas yet. Granted a nuclear bomb might be harder than an atomic powerplant the princip is the same. Wait for around a decade then it just might be livable agin.
Notice how America very carefully avoids taking readings of radioactivity in commercially sold fish from the Pacific.
Only individuals with geiger counters on the Pacific coast of the USA 7 Canada do this, and you have to look for their results posted on unadvertised websites on the internet. I only eat fish now from the North Atlantic.
That earthquake shifted the earth's axis and shortened how long a day is (very minutely, however, too minute for a person to notice.) It also moved Japan around 2 and a half meters.
30 M
