Nasty! Condolences to the Japanese and others on affected coastal
cities.

I had some questions about what I saw in some of those pics.

Can anyone explain them?

What caused the whirlpool in Oarai?


Crack down to the subduction zone where magma will turn it to steam
and thus they get a new volcano on top of it.

Then why a whirlpool instead of a steaming start to a mountain?
NOGO

Why did the road in Satte split exactly on the yellow middle line?


I took a second look at that, looks like new fill across a ravine.
Maybe cracked there at the cold joint of the two fused asphalt and
kinda like two band aids held at their ends and parallel and the
resonation influenced the liquefied fill and split down hill of the
ravine.

The seam in the middle of the road was exactly over the fill, no more
and no less? BZZZZZZT! NOGO


How were there no planes on the ground in Narita Int'l Airport?

Took a double take of that picture of the cars and planes mixed like
toys. I'd love to see the damage to the lower parts of the small
private planes, that would be interesting.

Yeah, the private portion of the airport was hammered, as were all the
parking areas. But there wasn't a single commercial jet on the field
and they showed all those empty terminals, just hangin' out there.
Eerie!


Ever felt an earth quake? I felt the one in Hell Eh when the bridges
smushed all those people. Was kinda like the wakes of boats when your
swimming. NO, that was the second one, never mind. They seem unique
from each other.

I grew up in California. What do you think? (I think the most I've
felt was 4.5, pretty mellow.)


Wait till something slams into an ocean and it will clean out the
whole area and go half way up all the mountains in the distance.

It might build up some heat coming through the atmosphere, too, so
when it hits, it'll boil the first million gallons of sea water it
hits, before making a gigantic tsunami. As it hits the floor of the
ocean, it'll trigger global earthquakes, too. Bye bye mankind!
