Hello Team,
There are many major events going on in the world today. Here is an interactive multimedia presentation of what is happening with the nuclear meltdown in Japan.
post any thoughts...
http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2011/03/12/world/asia/the-explosion-at-the-japanese-reactor.html
So that's how a meltdown happens. Wow. The earthquake created a lot of damage. But it is 9.0 on the richter scale so of course it would create a lot of damage. Earlier I saw in the paper that physicists (sp) are saying that it is way worse than the Three Mile Meltdown that they mentioned in the presentation at the end. And apparently, $100 billion dollars worth of damage has been created. I was also watching on the news on Friday that there is a train called "the Bullet" and it was stopped. The most it is usually late by is 30 seconds and most people in Japan use it so that is not good.
ReplyDeleteI saw videos of the quake and tsunami too. The quake shook so violently and the videos weren't even taken from the epicentre. The tsunami was devastating. Take a look at this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80CH_XkpSCE
If you skip to about 1 minute in, it shows the tsunami just washing away a farm (I think it's a farm)
That's just what I have gathered about the quake and tsunami in Japan that I wanted to share.
Oh and I also heard that the waves of the tsunami were 10-30 feet high.
ReplyDeletelike we dont have anything better to worry about. Libya is going insane with stubourne Gadhafi, not backing down, and the same day as this crazy earthquake, Saudi Arabian consumers, want their parlament to resin just like in Libya. The worst part is that Saudi Arabia is the world supply for Oil :/ , and if stuff goes realy bad, better buy some bus tokens because gas is going to maybe** go a lot higher. reporters still dont know.
ReplyDeleteI feel realy sorry, about what happened to japan. Japanese people are some of the nicest people you will ever meet, and i read online that they are rated the best tourists, meaning they are the most friendly and sincere to everyone. Everytime i watch those videos I think how lucky i am , to not wake up one morning and find me in the middle of the ocean. I heard that one village completely disappeared. Just think of how many people, lived in that village, and how many lives were lost. I hear the death tole is under like 3000, but the expectancy is supposed to be up to over 10 000, and will keep growing with all this power plants exploding.
I just keep thinking now. Where is some good news. Because I am pretty sure that the whole world can use some right now :l
well i watched abunch of videos of the quake and tsunami because i got bored, and it was.. interesting to watch, since Japan is known for having earth quakes, but a tsunami ?
ReplyDelete@Alyssa yeaa the waves in the tsunami were near 30 ft tall. (thats pretty tall. i think) ...
i cant really say anything much because, i have no clue how this would feel, but all i have to say now is woww that sucks, and i wish Japan and the Japanese the best.
Plus this happens right before the Ipad 2 came out !
@ sam Japan is in an area of the world where earthquakes happen quite often, they have many earthquakes, but usually they are very small. One guy on CNN said that he is almost used to earthquakes, because they happen often. They said that Japan is built to sustain earthquakes. and the prime minister of Japan have prepared for many years for a devastation like this, so they know exactly what to do, which is good, because i dont think a country like Canada would know exactly what to do, because its never happened to us before.
ReplyDeleteYeah it's really sad what happened. I mean, like 100 billion dollars worth of damage to some really nice people. And I saw another video of a woman in Japan faced with the ruins of her house. It's just so tragic what happened.
ReplyDelete@Adam I don't know if the death toll is under 3000. I think it's expected to be over 10 000.
@Adam that is true. Japan does have many earthquakes. I too saw someone on CNN who was an english teacher. He was used to quakes but he knew this one was different. Then after the quake, he had no electricity so officials came around with a 5 pound bag of water. It shows that they are prepared but now there's a lot more danger because of the nuclear meltdown and the worries of radiation exposure.
ReplyDeletethe devastation in japan is a terrible thing that has not struck them only but us as well because some of our people are in japan and are wondering of where are they;therefore since Japan is the 3rd most powerful country in the world, all of there supplies we need like cars, video games or cellphone will not be able to arrive until japan is cleaned up and successfully fix the nuclear generator and our gas prices will even grow more than what it was
ReplyDelete@Sami Japan is known for quakes. But this one was different because it was a 9 on the richter scale (the richter scale is the scale used to measure earthquakes. And since the highest number on that scale is a 10, a 9 is a pretty large quake). So since the quake was near the coast, it triggered a tsunami. That's why there was a tsunami even though Japan is not really known for them.
ReplyDelete@Tron master I know stuff comes out of Japan but doesn't most of it come out of China? Just wondering
ReplyDeleteIt's also really sad because when the tsunami hit and cars and houses were washed away, people were in those cars and houses. It's almost weird how we couldn't live without water but water can be the most devastating force. I mean, the tsunami washed everything in it's path out of it's way; power lines, houses, cars, bridges etc. It's crazy.
The devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan has actually moved the island closer to the United States and shifted the planet's axis. The quake also shifted the earth's axis by 6.5 inches, shortened the day by 1.6 microseconds, and sunk Japan downward by about two feet. It takes major amount of power to move an island like that. Nearly 3,700 people are officially listed as dead, but officials believe the toll will climb over 10,000 since several thousand more are listed as missing. Millions of people struggled for a fifth day with little food, water or heat, and already chilly temperatures turned to snow in many areas. Police say more than 452,000 people are staying in temporary shelters, often sleeping on the floor in school gymnasiums. The nuclear crisis has triggered international alarm and partly overshadowed the human tragedy caused by Friday's 9.0 magnitude earthquake and the subsequent tsunami. With all this going on has shaken all of the disasters into history. This is the most worst thing that has happened in the history of disasters.
ReplyDeleteWhat I find interesting is there are many countries that are larger but have less popluation. Japan is a much smaller island but has two times more popluation then Canada or USA.
ReplyDeleteThe whole situation just like the 9/11 incident really helps you put into perspective what its really like to suffer and how some of the problems we talk for days about pale in comparison to such a catostrophe.
ReplyDeleteBut I think just like with 9/11 this situation will do more to bring people togther than apart just like in haiti it shows what when as a people most of the world bands togther what they can do.
This earthquake is the strongest that japan has ever experiecned and when you wacth the sceans of the water taking everything in its path it serves as a warning to mankind that were not invincable and just something as simple as water can cause that much destuction. Everything happens for a reason I believe good or bad.
@Prayas wow that's a strong quake. Where'd you find that information? I had no clue that the quake had that much affect on the world. It doesn't sound like that much (like the day being shortened by 1.6 microseconds. Not much) But that was caused by a quake.
ReplyDeleteAlthough how does a quake shorten the day and shift the Earth's axis?
@brown kid that ties in with our grade 8 geography in countries like japan families have more children because primarily its the kids that take care of the parents once theve grown and that do a lot of the work for the family. So in a country like canda the need for more kids is eliminated because in most cases the parents can survie on their own thats why most grandparents live in a seprate house.
ReplyDelete@Prayas that is true. A small town in Japan has like 10 000 people (or 70 000, I'm not sure) but in Canada a small town is a place that has like 2 restaurants (no joke).
ReplyDelete@Zak I also think there is less kids because here in Canada we don't need a lot of kids to work on farms and stuff. There is also a higher chance when the child is born that they will survive so there doesn't need to be so many kids. Also what you said because the parents can take care of themselves with all the resources they have access to.
ReplyDeleteI found a video showing the Tsunami-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3M7fiFep7WA
ReplyDeleteOn the news I heard that reactor 3 and 4 was having cooling failures.The radiation has gotten to a very dangerous level that they evacuated the people around the area.the death toll is around 10,000.
Yes Japan is very important to Canada because they are the third largest Inporter for Canada, also Japan is very inportant to many other countries. India, United States, Canada, and Most of Asia.
ReplyDeleteYes @Zak this kind of relates to 9/11 because how the whole world was watching the tragidy that was going on in New York, but the tragidy thats going on in Japan right now is much more worse. Over 16 countries are helping with the search and rescue and the food. Most of Japan is gone and turned into rubble.
ReplyDelete@Prayas yes it's quite sad. And officials are predicting that most of the water from the tsunami will stay where it is.
ReplyDeletehttp://ca.news.yahoo.com/blogs/dailybrew/japan-earthquake-shifted-balance-planet-20110314-065608-417.html
ReplyDelete^ In that article it says how Japan's earthquake changed Earth. I think its horrible what had happened in Japan because first a earthquake hits and its the most powerful earthquake Japan has ever had , and after the earthquake happens a tsunami hits. I can't really say how it would feel being in the experience because it isn't something you can imagine , you would need to experience it for you to feel like what it would have been like to be the situation that happened in Japan. As El Zak said , the whole situation is like 9/11 , but worse because the death toll was much more then the 9/11 one, but 9/11 would bring more people together because everyone was fighting for their country and what was right , but for Japan everyone wished that things would start going good.
Another thing is if you add the 9/11 date and the date the Japan devastation happened you would get the 2012 date.
So 09.11.01 + 03.10.11 = 12.21.12
^^^@niida thats just coincidence
ReplyDelete@Nida that is just a coincidence with the dates. And adding dates does not mean anything.
ReplyDelete@El Zak & Alyssa , i was just saying that if you add them together it would equal 2012 .. its nothing serious.
ReplyDeleteIts really sad because they said in some parts of Japan they are not aloud to drink their sink water because of the radition. The radition has many people terrified of just going outside to take out their garbage. I would be afarid too because just thinking if you go outside and take a deep wiff of air and after a week you realize that you have raditation inside of you. Its very scary.
ReplyDeleteJapan preparing to return emergency workers to stricken nuclear plant after radiation drops. I think they shouldn't do this because even if the radiation drops it will still take long to get rid of it from the air. The thick concrete armour built around reactor 3 that would allow radiation to escape. A little radiation was also detected in Tokyo, triggering panic buying of food and water. Meanwhile, the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency estimated that 70 per cent of the rods have been damaged at the No.1 reactor.
ReplyDeleteNasa compared before and after pictures of Japan and they have said Japan's earthquake has shifted the earth's axis by 6.5 inches. That's a very powerful and scary earthquake. Prime Minister Stephen Harper said Canada will always be there to help a countrie in need, Canada has send many food supplies for Japan because of the major amount of people in those shelters.
@Stephanie I watched many videos of the earthquake and tsunami, I also watched that link you put on your post. All these videos are very shocking because to know that most of those videos have been shot at the same time but in a different perspective is really interesting. Makes people wonder that these things that are going on in the world lately could be realeted to 2012.
ReplyDeleteJust like what @Nida said. But I agree with @Zak and @Alyssa it could be just a coincidence. But it also makes you think what a interesting coincidence.
Yes @Alyssa I agree the water from the tsunami will just stay where it is. But even if Japan was able to get rid of that water it would be really hard because those houses and that land has now become apart of the sea.
ReplyDelete@Prayas i agree i watched many videos and its on the news most of the time.It is very shocking and ya it does make people think if the world will end in 2012.
ReplyDelete@Nida i agree with prayas its kinda weird how the dates add up to 2012 and it could possible mean something but i thinks its just a coincidence.
A lot of places are doing charities for japan just like they did with other places that had earthquakes.The charities are a good idea because with all the damage its going to take billions or dollars so fix it all but even after they fix it it will never be the same as before.They said on the news that the Tsunami also effected British Columbia and Hawaii it must have been really bad to have also effected thoes places other then japan.
ReplyDeleteJapan is also one of Canada's biggest imported in other words we get a lot of stuff from there like toys,electronics,cars,clothing etc. and with what happened its going to not only have a big effect on japan but also an effect on the rest of the world.
Yeah but after a few months people stop giving money and donating to charities even though the people in those countries still need help. Like in Haiti. Don't you think that the people there still need some help even though people are not donating? just saying.
ReplyDeleteSo because of the meltdown that's what caused the explosion on Saturday? I think that they should test the tube and make sure that there are no more melt downs because it makes big disasters. What's happening in Japan right now is very sad because many people are homeless and have no food to eat. They had both a tsunami and an earthquake, that's too much for a country to handle. In an article I read it states that the 9.0 magnitude quake was caused when the Pacific tectonic plate dove under the North American plate, which shifted Eastern Japan towards North America by about 13 feet. The quake also shifted the earth's axis by 6.5 inches, and sank Japan downward by about two feet. As Japan's eastern coastline sunk, the tsunami's waves rolled in.
ReplyDeleteYou guys should also look at these pictures and read the caption
ReplyDeletehttp://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2011/03/12/world/asia/20110312_japan.html?ref=asia#1
every time i watch the news, there is always something about the japan tsunami and the nuclear reaction.it very sad how this happen in a populated area where a earthquake and a tsunami hit i agree Alyssa,it not a country can handle.People homeless some well almost all don't know were their family is,they don't have food,i saw on the news that the in some cities in japan the shops are completely out of food since they are giving the food to the people who really need it.
ReplyDeletethe first thing i thought when i heard that it was hit by the tsunami was good thing it a island and there are on countries or any island near it.
i have a feeling that something like this is going to happen next year,Haiti in 2010 and japan in 2011...you never know
This is a very tragic situation because when i saw it on the news all i heard was there was a Tsunami,but i never knew it was this big.
ReplyDelete@ alyssa
ReplyDeletei agree with you, people are going to stop donating to charities after a few months.it's like about the thing mr.Cheney talked about the black history month and Asian heritage month people are going to talk or do something about that month and forget it the next.
@ heli you are right things probably bigger than this might happen,and also if japan was a country it would of put other countries at risk,but yet we shouldnt be thankful that it is an island that is kind of rude,it kind of gives the tone saying,"oh good it's an island,so it didnt hurt any county,so im just happy it didnt hurt anyother place."
ReplyDeleteI heard about the nuclear meltdown on the news and it was real serious. First off all the tsunami happened and Japan got overflowed literally with water. Second Japan didn't ask for any help for the repair, they said they could handle it by themselves they had hope and a lot of wealth i am guessing. And third it is going to cost them more because of the Nuclear meltdown that as happened. I think Japan made the wrong decision by not asking for help, because it going to take a lot of money to repair the damages that have been created. I think it will take a lot of time to settle down, i also think it is a great idea to start a donation for Japan and help them. What if this happened to us and we didn't ask for help but we really needed it? That would just suck, and its not fair, so we should donate it to the people who never knew this was going to happen and they cant live life anymore.
ReplyDelete@ i agree Vanessa,i didn't mean to say that.
ReplyDeletesorry,if i hurt anyone
@Pamela I think that the tubes are tested but the quake and tsunami were so strong that it made everything break down causing a meltdown. At least, that's what I think based on what I've seen on the news.
ReplyDelete@Talwinder I didn't know that japan refused for help from other countries. But they can't do it alone because so much has happened they need the extra help.
@Alyssa, that is what I was saying, the news told me they had refused for any sort of help, but last time i checked it is going to take alot of money to repair all the damages.
ReplyDelete@heli same when i first heard about it i didnt think it was as big a deal as it was. I was just glade it didnt happen to us until i looked at it more and relized that i was wrong and even if it didnt happen to us is still going to effect us in a big way but not as big a way as japan.
ReplyDeleteThey said on rhe news that they evcuated the area around the reactors but with all the aftershocks it really dangerous for the people who are still around the reactor but at a safe distance for now..
@ talwinder that is true i did hear about that,and you are right and in tagic things like this people think they can fix it themselves but they dont realize how much work it is.But to me it seems to me that they dont want to make themselves look weak.
ReplyDelete@ heli im just saying, but i accept your honesty.
ReplyDelete@Talwinder yeah I heard somewhere else that $100 billion dollars worth of damage was done so it's going to take a lot of work and help to fix it.
ReplyDeleteWith these explosions going on you start to think about what could happen to our necular reactors here at home those reactors were meant to withstand an earthquake.
ReplyDelete@Vanessa, exactly, I think Japan is trying to say that they are rich, buts going to take alot of work to settle down, and i think they want to keep their reputation and think they are still strong even if the tsunami happened.
ReplyDelete@Alyssa, yes, i also heard that Canada and other countries contributed money to Japan, and they accepted it, i think they gave up and asked for a little help.
ReplyDeletewhat happened in Japan was really sad and it was really big and well know i know how it happened....
ReplyDelete@EL Presidente, i agree it bring people together and start trusting people more and its time for love to build up ..
ReplyDelete@Talwinder yes it's when catastophes happen that people can come together and trust each other because everyone wants to help out.
ReplyDeleteI'm not exactly sure but I think on the news there was a tsunami survivor from the 2004 tsunami who was saying something like that.
@ Stephanie
ReplyDeleteeven if the area is evacuated around the reactors it's still really dangerous cause the wind if it caries the nucleus gases to land it might affect the animals and us.That will also cause a lot of trouble. The air, it's nature we have no control over it just like the earth quack or the tsunami that happen.
@Alyssa, yes everyone start sharing and not be selfish and help Japan because if that happen to you, you'd want to survive, you'd want a place you call home to be repaired soon, you'd want to be treated normal and ect. That will only happen in japan if we all start giving them little by little day by day.
ReplyDelete@Heli, i agree with you even if Japan is evacuation, the ground itself isn't cleared, it still needs to be repaired, normal, and looks fresh, it just cant start look like a flood forever, they have to make a step and start changing Japan.
ReplyDelete@ talwinder thats true and it doesnt matter everyone always needs help.
ReplyDelete@Vanessa, yes a little donation would help a lot, but i am still curious why Japan had refused the money that was going to be given if it is going to save them time and money and its a worth "cause" and it could them in there future.
ReplyDelete@Talwinder they might've refused the money because they thought they could do it themselves because they have a lot of technology and people. That or they are a stubborn country and were determined to fix it themselves but I think that they now realize that will not be possible.
ReplyDelete@Alyssa, i agree, but if they knew and they were determined to do it themselves, why could it be accomplished all of the sudden? Maybe possibly they were selfish, thinking of themselves, or full of themselves, even tho they are a rich country and have a lot of money, it is going to take way more money to repair in time and get treatment for people.
ReplyDelete@Talwinder what do you mean when you say "why could it be accomplished all of a sudden"?
ReplyDeleteAnd, to me, a country that just went through a giant quake and tsunami and is now dealing with nuclear radiation is not a selfish country but that's just what I think.
Also, I heard that they are worried about radiation in food in Japan.
@Heli I agree even with all the people around that area being evauacted it still dangerous because with the wind like you mentioned and its not all they have to worry about they have to worry about the after shocks of the earthquake and the nuclear plant causing more danger with all of the reactors not working proper.
ReplyDeleteYes we dont have any control over the wind or the tsunami mother nature control them and there was no possiable way to aviod then from comming.Comparign japan to haiti it way worst because they got the earthquake and the tsunami at the same time or it would not be as difficule on the people living there.
@Alyssa i herd that on the news something about how they are worried about radation being in there food and there taking extream measures to make sure that there are saft but that all i herd they said that they would contiune to give updates on japan but so far they have been dealing with the situation.
ReplyDelete@Stephanie Japan is a first world country too. They are part of internatinal trade and make products for the world and stuff. This is going to affect Japan and the world for a long time.
ReplyDelete@Stephanie I also heard that they are not so worried about when the radiation gets up in the air and blows it around because the amounts will be small and high up in the atmosphere that it won't be that much of a problem. It's still a problem though especially with the concerns of it getting into food. Plus, I heard that people are afraid to come out of their houses because of it and they can't use their sinks and stuff for fear that it might be contaminated.
ReplyDeleteI find this story amazing. An 83-year-old Japanese woman is among the lucky ones after escaping from her now-destroyed home in Ishinomaki. How she escaped the tsunami is what makes her story unique.
ReplyDeleteCanadians and Americans are the the center of controversy specially when it comes to giving in times of natural disasters. Sometimes we wonder why only us. However, if you traced back people in the olden days shall we say before the birth of Americas or before Christ era, what do you think people were liked, surely, they were sabage people. And thanks to the person who advocated first of what is equal justice, equal oppurtunity, equalilty on human race and every thing that is concern about equal.
ReplyDeleteNow back to Japan. Search and rescue teams are hoping to find more people from the rubble. It's nice to hear of the people that have survived when so many have perished in the massacre.
ReplyDelete@Alyssa, i meant to say why couldn't it be accomplished all of the sudden .. ?
ReplyDeleteAnd i do think Japan is selfish, but like no in a way where they always think about them selves, but they think they can do it themselves when they knew it couldn't be accomplished.
@Stephanie thats true I heard that too on the news how they are saying raditation has gone into food, milk, and water. Not all of it. Ya they are taking extream measures. Also now they said they wont be able to use the nuclear plant ever again. But what I find not nessary is that they say that after they complete the cooling down of the plant, they are going to put it underground. I think thats going to cause more problems in Japan.
ReplyDelete@ Vanessa i agree with you , i think the people in japan ant to show they aren't weak and they can fix what happened but i think refusing hlep isnt going to help them fix anything but if they had more help everything could have been a little more faster i think
ReplyDelete@brown_kid how did the japense women escaped that made the escape soo unique??
@Jan 101
ReplyDeleteAn 83-year old woman named Tsuna Kimura, who lived alone in the town of Ishinomaki, Japan, escaped the tsunami by fleeing on her bicycle. When she heard about the tsunami warning, she did the first thing that came to mind and jumped on her bicycle. She prides herself on her health and fitness, she said. Though she has two children, she was living alone at the time of the quake. Thankfully, she escaped. Her home has since been flooded and destroyed by last Friday's events.
@ Jan it is true strong exporting countries make themselves look strong when things like this happen,but they dont realize that they have generous countries around them that want to help,but you know everyone tries to act like that sometimes,they act like they dont really need help when they need it the most.
ReplyDeleteJapan has raised the alert level at its quake-damaged nuclear plant from four to five on a seven point international scale of atomic incidents. Japanese nuclear officials said core damage to reactors 2 and 3 had prompted the raising of the radiation. Millions of people have been affected by the disaster. Many survivors have been left without water, electricity, fuel or enough food; hundreds of thousands are homeless.
ReplyDeleteAlso reports that a man had been pulled from the rubble after eight days proved to be untrue. I think that was unnessary to the family of the man because getting their hopes up then they say we were fibbing.
@brown_kid that story is very unique.You said that she has 2 kids But they were not with her when the tsunami hit.Does it say where her kids where because if they were out of the country thoes kids are very lucky to be out of the country when all this happened yet thoes kids must be very worried.
ReplyDeleteI agree sayign that they found someone and telling the family only to be lieing is very wrong and besides your gettign that familys hopes up then puttign then right back down to only make it worst for then.
@Alyssa it may sound like a good thing that the gases are rising up into the atmosphere but think abotu it it will be in our atmosphere for a long time and it will tavel around the world.Once it gets into our atmosphere where it going to go because no one can be for sure but do you think it could effect global warming or something else?
ReplyDeleteMany places are donatign to the cause of helping japan like on google at the bottem it say"Resources related to the crisis in Japan and ways to help."And some places are getting the word out on the raido in newspapers and etc. most of the world knows about what happened in japan but alot of then take it into thinking that if its not us why waste out time when even if it didnt happen to us it will impact us.Japan is a major inporter to Canada and with what has happened to then will affect us and more people think about people who have relitives in japan.Japan is in a very bad situation and its going to take alot of time and effert into fixing it all.
ReplyDelete@Stephanie I'm not sure where her children were or even if they were in Japan, the article only said what she did had how she did it. It only said she has 2 children, nothing about them.
ReplyDelete@Stephanie I know this nuclear radition crisis is a big deal and that wind can carry the particles over to us but I've heard officials on the news say that it won't be a huge problem because the particles would be so small and so high up. The possibility is there but when it happens it won't be that bad.
ReplyDeleteAs for it affecting global warming, I'm not sure. It could but I'm no expert.
@Brown_kid oh so they didnt get many fact on her kid then on her ok.
ReplyDelete@Alyssa im not expert either but it seem like alot of radation to be coming from the nuclear plant.If it was not alot then resedents would not be scared to leave there homes but it looks like its alot radation and at a very dangerous level I think the only way to see if it will effect global warning is to wait and see.
Raditation is coming from reactors 2 and 3 I think because they were the ones that got badly destroyed from the earthquake. The other ones are being cooled down so then they can place it into the ground. But still the raditation has spread through out Japan and will take a long time to get rid of. They also said some how they don't know the raditation has come to USA. That's scary because it could come to Canada.
ReplyDeleteLatest news they found two people who have survived trapped in their house for nine days since the huge earthquake hit the country. An 80 year old woman and 16 year old grandson survived under the rubble of the kitchen in their house in Ishinomaki by eating yoghurt.
ReplyDeleteA tsunami hit town in eastern Japan, which once a pleasant fishing port, but has been wiped from the map because of the tsunami. The towns name was Yuriage, it was home to more than 7,000 people before Friday, but now rubble is all that remains. No house survived, each one turned into rubble.
ReplyDelete@Brown_Kid, what an interesting story, i think for an 83 year old lady ,she is pretty healthy and i think its not bad that she has pride in herself for it.And as you aid, it is very unique and i wonder where her kids where and as you said steph, they would have been lucky if they were out of the country but i wonder if the mother contacted her kids or the other way
ReplyDeletewow, 7000 people lost on one town and its even out of Japan's map , i think thats really sad because lots of home gone and if Japan still doesn't want help i think they really should reconsider
I just read somewhere that sites like iTunes and Amazon have places where you can donate money to help Japan. Also in Costco and most Starbucks locations they are colleecting donations as well.
