I hope they can cool down this nuclear reactor, it's bad enough as it is without that thing fucking blowing up!

AFK it's controlled, its some Oil Refinery on fire

- i may be wrong.

Nope, you're right. They've closed down all nuclear facilities. Also, yes an oil refinery was on fire. I saw live footage. It was pretty bad. Pretty sure that it's still up in flames.

Yeah, they've shut it down but are having trouble keeping it cool as the cooling system is fucked.

My deepest condolences for all the people of Japan that are affected by this. I hope that there are no further deaths, and that from here on out things will come under control.

ah..so if it would be an African or Arabic country, this would be OK, or let's say at least not such a tragedy, right?
Oh shut up.

take a deep breath, look at what u answered to a critical statement - which was not offensive to the author - and maybe u will find your text rude, childish and unnecessary.

I'll be honest. I just saw the title of the thread on the main page, but never paid any attention. I was like "eh, another earth quake, big whoop."

Read the article on Kotaku, started getting a bit freaked.

Read some stuff on CNN and our local news site GlobalTVBC.com, we don't have to worry about the shakes, it's just we live so close to a river, that could easily flood. Luckily we got high ground we can get to that is only 5 minutes away.

As I tweeted on twitter, I'm just going to copy and paste:

Thoughts and prayers go out to everybody in Japan. Keep your spirits high and don't give up hope. Stay strong!

Guys, go here. It has a list of all the countries which are going to be affected. Please stay safe.

Uh-oh.
It does list Colombia in that warning alert.. ;-;
My country is right next to Colombia and close to Ecuador. so I think I shouldn't be too confident about being safe from this. :/

My sincere condolences to everyone who might have passed away over in japan, and you've people really demonstrated to be really resistant.. Good job in defending so well against such a big earthquake, I am sorry that one of the side effects was that awful tsunami.

I hope that all of you people who might be there (in the alert countries) stay safe and that this is just a warning.
I really hope that Japan can pull out of this one.

EDIT:
QUOTE(WildArms @ Mar 11 2011, 08:59 AM) Darn it, "great" way to start my birthday *just waking up* -_- hope things doesnt get worst

Oh you're from Venezuela as well. do you know if there's a warn issued for our Country?
Just wondering, and I am deeply sorry that this had to happen in your birthday.

Sendai is completely f*cked up....
My wife lived there for a couple of years.

All of our friends and family are fine, but still -- they've been hit by an earthquake the likes they've never felt before.
Good thing Japan is very earthquake-resistant....but it's the tsunami that's truly scary.

All our thoughts are with the people affected.

You were trying to stir shit in this thread and he reacted accordingly. Honestly, his reply was less offensive than yours imo, and I think he handled himself well. You on the other hand...

OH SHIT.

Looks like the cooldown problem in the nuclear reactor is REAL.
ohnoes.png

It's on my CNN right now (CNN in Spanish)
They said that they have a lot of problems in keeping the temperature low and that they ordered to abandon the zone for people (don't know the correct term)

I hope that they find a way to cool everything down before yet ANOTHER disaster unfolds..

May God protect these people in Japan (and in the rest of the world as well)
