Japan QUAKE [March 11 2011]

[vinj]

6 days, WOW! Iba talaga ang nga Japanese. Magaling!

Wala pa yung picture ng Mayor gaya sa Pinas.

Actually, in 6 days, kaya nila....


Ilagay yung picture ni Mayor, Congressman, Konsehal, mga pamilya nila, etc... "Proposed road construction... your taxes are working for us... este... for you".

Or pwede rin, baliktad yung sequence... yung road mukhang maayos tapos after 6 days of regular use plus kaunting ambon, sira na.

They work fast... Just saw this on Inquirer.net



SIX-DAY WONDER. Photos show a road in Naka, Ibaraki prefecture, northern Japan that was devastated by the massive earthquake in March 11 and what it has become six days after highway company, NEXCO East, restored the 150-meter cave-in section of the road linking Tokyo and the Ibaraki prefecture.

These two photos show the same stretch of road—the Great Kanto branch—three days apart. By March 16th, just three days after the earthquake tore it apart, the road was rebuilt to the condition seen in the photo.

sila voltes five, Shaider and Daimos ang gumawa eh kaya mabilis.

[Monseratto]

Honestly, even if they repair all the damages caused by the triple whammy, mas nakakatakot tumira dun ngayon kaysa pinas...

[uls]

a Japanese supplier living in Chiba told us problema nila ngayon drinking water

[hondaboot]

that's plain bull. how can they rebuild that fast if until now there are aftershocks.

if you ask me, the photos are after and before.

Japan is afghanistan, iraq now. nobody's flying in, most are flying out. no foreign witnesses on the perfectures since the people themselves are afraid of going near the fallout zones

masyado naman bilib nyo sa Japan

from NHKWorld: Nuclear agency: No. 3 reactor may be leaking

http://www3.nhk.or.jp/daily/english/25_29.html


Germany has vowed to wean away from nuclear power...yet there are still some here in RP who still want to put up a nuclear plant. Maybe we should send them to Japan right now, see how they like radioactive crap in their water.

Got this from my email

THIS letter, written by Vietnamese immigrant Ha Minh Thanh working in
Fukushima as a policeman to a friend in Vietnam, was
posted on New America Media on March 19. It is a testimonial to the
strength of the Japanese spirit, and an interesting slice of
life near the epicenter of Japan 's crisis at the Fukushima nuclear
power plant. It was translated by NAM editor Andrew Lam,
author of "East Eats West: Writing in Two Hemispheres." Shanghai
Daily condensed it.

Brother, ;

How are you and your family? These last few days, everything was in
chaos. When I close my eyes, I see dead bodies. When I open my eyes, I
also see dead bodies.

Each one of us must work 20 hours a day, yet I wish there were 48
hours in the day, so that we could continue helping and rescuing
folks.

We are without water and electricity, and food rations are near zero.
We barely manage to move refugees before there are new
orders to move them elsewhere.

I am currently in Fukushima , about 25 kilometers away from the nuclear
power plant. I have so much to tell you that if I could
write it all down, it would surely turn into a novel about human
relationships and behaviors during times of crisis.

People here remain calm - their sense of dignity and proper behavior
are very good - so things aren't as bad as they could
be. But given another week, I can't guarantee that things won't get
to a point where we can no longer provide proper protection
and order.

They are humans after all, and when hunger and thirst override
dignity, well, they will do whatever they have to do. The
government is trying to provide supplies by air, bringing in food and
medicine, but it's like dropping a little salt into the
ocean.

Brother, there was a really moving incident. It involves a little
Japanese boy who taught an adult like me a lesson on how to
behave like a human being.

Last night, I was sent to a little grammar school to help a charity
organization distribute food to the refugees. It was a long line that
snaked this way and that and I saw a little boy around 9 years old. He
was wearing a T-shirt and a pair of shorts.


It was getting very cold and the boy was at the very end of the line.
I was worried that by the time his turn came there wouldn't
be any food left. So I spoke to him. He said he was at school when the
earthquake happened. His father worked nearby and was
driving to the school. The boy was on the third floor balcony when he
saw the tsunami sweep his father's car away.

I asked him about his mother. He said his house is right by the beach
and that his mother and little sister probably didn't make
it. He turned his head and wiped his tears when I asked about his
relatives.

The boy was shivering so I took off my police jacket and put it on him.
That's when my bag of food ration fell out. I picked it
up and gave it to him. "When it comes to your turn, they might run
out of food. So here's my portion. I already ate. Why don't
you eat it?"

The boy took my food and bowed. I thought he would eat it right away,
but he didn't. He took the bag of food, went up to where
the line ended and put it where all the food was waiting to be
distributed.

I was shocked. I asked him why he didn't eat it and instead added it to
the food pile. He answered: "Because I see a lot more
people hungrier than I am. If I put it there, then they will
distribute the food equally."

When I heard that I turned away so that people wouldn't see me cry.


A society that can produce a 9-year-old who understands the concept of
sacrifice for the greater good must be a great
society, a great people.

The hours of my shift have begun again.

Ha Minh Thanh


************ LESSON TO LEARN FROM JAPAN ***********

10 things to learn from Japan.

1. THE CALM
Not a single visual of chest-beating or wild grief. Sorrow itself has been elevated.

2. THE DIGNITY
Disciplined queues for water and groceries. Not a rough word or a crude gesture.

3. THE ABILITY
The incredible architects, for instance. Buildings swayed but didn’t fall.

4. THE GRACE
People bought only what they needed for the present, so everybody could get something.

5. THE ORDER
No looting in shops. No honking and no overtaking on the roads. Just understanding.

6. THE SACRIFICE
Fifty workers stayed back to pump sea water in the N-reactors. How will they ever be repaid?

7. THE TENDERNESS
Restaurants cut prices. An unguarded ATM is left alone. The strong cared for the weak.

8. THE TRAINING
The old and the children, everyone knew exactly what to do. And they did just that.

9. THE MEDIA
They showed magnificent restraint in the bulletins. No silly reporters. Only calm reportage.

10. THE CONSCIENCE
When the power went off in a store, people put things back on the shelves and left quietly

[Monseratto]

Hehehe... wala ako masabi.

A society that can produce a 9-year-old who understands the concept of
sacrifice for the greater good must be a great
society, a great people.

[mact_tors]

Hehehe... wala ako masabi.

How about a society that can produce a 9 yr old boy who can gyrate like a experienced macho dancer with matching tears on his eyes while dancing?
