Japan QUAKE [March 11 2011]

[safeorigin]

Many homes that washed away are old and made of wood. If those homes were concrete, many would still be standing. Just look at the Sendai airport...

homes built on concrete wouldn't guarantee that given that the earthquakes released more than 1.41 exajoules at its peak. the structure would already have cracks and would be washed away unless they're as large as department stores or have steel beam structures.

If those concrete homes are like those barong-barongs with no steel reinforcements, it cannot withstand it. But if you build them with deep foundation and enough steel reinforcements, kaya yan.

regarding their homes...

I don't think they have the economy of engineering a building or house that would withstand 8.9M earthquakes with their real estate prices...

some of the smaller concrete structures can't handle continuous horizontal stresses from the tsunami

update:

-radiation in Miyagi is 400x than normal

Coverage in the media and social networking trending topic at all about the events in Japan. Starting from the greeting grief, questioning the amount of the victim until someone asked ***y Japanese actress Maria Ozawa aka Miyabi is still a live or dead in 8.9 magnitude earthquake and tsunami. No one can answer this question becasue no one can reach her.

Producer Maxima Pictures, Ody Mulya who has twice worked with Miyabi in Indonesia was deeply concerned about the condition of this ***y artist.

“Frankly I lost contact with her (Miyabi), my last contact with him about 1-2 hours before the 8.9 magnitude earthquake and tsunami, then I sms and the phone she is not accept and also do not reply my sms,”said Ody Mulya.

Ody also said this condition makes it extremely worried and anxious, considering that Miyabi was regarded as friends and business associates. Ody said between himself and management Miyabi is still under contract to make two more films.

“I want to ask the situation, but it is difficult to call her, hopefully Maria Ozawa aka Miyabi is alright and still a live after this terrible earthquake and tsunami, cause I’m really worried,” said ody. Look for Miyabi latest condition here

Uy sikat pala tayo! One of the tectonic plates that was mentioned in the Japan 8.9 magnitude earthquake is the Philippine plate.

Go Philippine plate! Hwag ka magpapa-talo sa Pacific and North American
plates. Don't let them subduct you, and protect our country from the Big One!

On the serious side, request ko lang to all tsikoteers to include in your nightly prayers that our country be spared from a great earthquake. For if, heaven forbid, the same thing happens to us, lahat ng pinundar nating ari-arian, not to mention the lives of our loved ones, can all be gone in the blink of an eye! Lets's pray pray PRAY!

Any Tsikot members in Japan affected by the earthquake? Kamusta na kaya si Negus?

cooling system failure at another reactor -- Tokai

I wonder if there were large ships in the Pacific Ocean when the tsunamis struck? Nakayanan kaya nung mga barko yung waves?

Would aircraft carriers withstand tsunamis?

In deep waters Bro,- hindi mo mararamdaman ang tsunami, as if nothing's happening. That is the way I understand it.....

However, since the topography of the land is rising (vs. the ocean level),- then the mere volume of the water that is being pushed inland causes the water level to rise significantly in the form of huge waves we call tsunami....

heart wrenching as the earthquake and tsunami maybe, i am amazed by the discipline of the japanese

there are no riots over food and water, there are no outbursts on the media, no shouts, screams or curses (at least from what we see in the news). so far, there is no news of any looting and the like

they line up in a disciplined and orderly manner at the grocery stores, relief trucks and water deliver tankers.



kung sa pilipinas pa yan, well ..............

[Chikselog]

Guys, may balita na ba na makaka-affect sa pinas itong explosion ng reactor sa Japan? May kumakalat kasi ngayon sa facebook na ayun nga, may sumabog na reactor, tapos pag umulan daw dito wag daw lalabas kasi may tendency daw na masunog ang balat etc etc..

Ayokong paniwalaan hangga't walang official news eh.
