Maybe they'd been washed away? I have no real guesses on this one. Thanks, Rich |

I guess everything with enough fuel to go to another airport was sent off as soon as the quake and tsunami warnings hit. It looked quite weird, though, didn't it? Did you see the video taken from the terminal? It looked very slow moving until it got right next to the camera and you could see it was moving past at 30+ mph. -- Whomsoever controls the volume of money in any country is absolute master of all industry and commerce and when you realize that the entire system is very easily controlled, one way or another, by a few powerful men at the top, you will not have to be told how periods of inflation and depression originate. --James Garfield |

One picture I saw showed a number of light planes wadded up in a pile of debris along with cars, IIRC it was from Narita. With staff on hand, and given the expense of airliners, getting them off the ground would be a priority. The light planes, the owners probably couldn't get there in time. In that light, given they didn't have much warning before the tsunami hit, it's rather amazing they got all the big iron off the ground. Jon |

It split on the seam because that's where the seam was; the roadbed was just dirt, after all, which didn't really care where the split was.

Not my post, just a repost. Yeah, great pic of Hope, moving toward Safety. I can't help but notice the difference between how the Japanese people are dealing with this crisis, compared to how the Haitians dealt with theirs. Or the people in Louisiana, for that matter. Yeah, the US handling of that still shames us every time anyone else helps even one person in need during disaster, doesn't it? As completely FUBAR as the situation is in Japan, I can't think of a more resilient and hardworking people than the Japanese. Yes, they're fine examples of the good side of human nature, Jon. -- Whomsoever controls the volume of money in any country is absolute master of all industry and commerce and when you realize that the entire system is very easily controlled, one way or another, by a few powerful men at the top, you will not have to be told how periods of inflation and depression originate. --James Garfield |

That said, look at the direction of spin. It's bassackwards for this hemisphere. -- Whomsoever controls the volume of money in any country is absolute master of all industry and commerce and when you realize that the entire system is very easily controlled, one way or another, by a few powerful men at the top, you will not have to be told how periods of inflation and depression originate. --James Garfield |

Larry that is a "more or less" an "urban myth" . The way the swirl forms is many time more controlled by the shape of the area around the exit port. The Coriolis force is so weak it takes a well planned scientific experiment to demonstrate it. ...lew... |

I noticed the construction under the people on the top floor patio that looks untouched and all the derbies up a couple of stories.

Some of the buildings moved intact and some held back enormous amount of force and hardly look bent. Never noticed houses and roofs stay together so well. Like one picture with a house stuck under a bridge and dented the top just a bit. Screw and glue everything together? Wonder if some houses are built to 'float' on their foundations and some of the polar opposite philosophy of metal and bolted down. I've been thinking of welding up a building since I saw a convenient store in Texas. The guy welded just about any steel around and made his own trusses. Just not sure how to transition to wood and how. Anyhow, I don't think American houses would pile all together and still be mostly intact. Why can't we have cute mini vans here in America? I know where one could get a deal on some. I just want the body. We're encouraged to save gas , but only allowed to do so much. Those first Honda civics and the mini are mini so what's up with the restriction? SW |

Wonder if some houses are built to 'float' on their foundations and some of the polar opposite philosophy of metal and bolted down. Most of the newer homes are very well built and set on floating piers due to the seismic activity in Japan. I've been thinking of welding up a building since I saw a convenient store in Texas.

The problem is that the average American won't fit in them. The interiors are designed for the average Japanese person who stands 5'5" or so tall. However some are imported here. Scion, Honda, Toyota, Suzuki, Kia, Subaru, Mitsubishi, Nissan all have tiny cars available to the US market. They do have domestic only models though that will not be exported to other countries.

I had some questions about what I saw in some of those pics. Can anyone explain them? What caused the whirlpool in Oarai? Why did the road in Satte split exactly on the yellow middle line? The paving machine was 1/2 as wide as the road and made a seam down the middle? Oh, and the earth under it decided to follow suit. I see. Thanks, Art. ;^) How did the road builders find the fault and follow it exactly? I agree it sounds completely far fetched but I haven't seen any other responses that are more plausable. Art |
