Japan. Shaken, Washed and then Blown what next.

I feel for the horrific incident which has happened in Japan. All the loved ones from all parts of the earth who have been affected by this disaster. 730 dead already and thousands more missing. I had a friend who was in the district of Sendai but luckily his trip was a week scheduled before this phenonemom. I pray for all those who are still trapped or heavily affected families who have lost most of their relatives. The photos i have seen on the news are making my heart explode and thinking how on earth is anyone going to get through this. Damages are well beyong measuring atm. All we can hope for is less violent aftershocks, no more tsunami and hopefully radiation is out of the question with more nuclear explosions expected. Take care Japan Bryan

I'm actually watching the news right now, and there is planes and even people who have been detected with radiation on them and homeland security won't let them back into the states. The whole situation is just crazy :\

Looking up news articles have not found a single article that shows people are being denied or turned away. On the 18th there were a few reports of people being scanned showing up as positive for radiation but they were not turned away. Direct quote "The mayor asked the media not to escalate the situation and stressed that no passenger and no plane has not been denied the opportunity to arrive at the airport of Chicago." Another quote from the same article "However, according to airport customs officers, none of the arriving aircraft are not contaminated by radiation so much as to pose a threat to the health of passengers and staff. All passengers on the clothes which were found traces of radiation are directed at medical facilities for prevention. The number of such passengers is not called." Remember that small doses of radiation is not harmful as it's being reported. Some of what is being picked up is less than what you get during a dental Xray. If you are hearing something on the news, look for supporting documentation. A lot times they are smacking it on the TV as it's happening and they don't have all the information. The media puts things out that sell and keeps the public's attention. Already on the news today there is less about the happenings in Japan and more about Lybia. The Japan incident hasn't magically gotten better over night. Just a prime example of what the media sells. A Simple Thank You Goes a Long Way!

I swear i just dont understand Libyra and Gaddafi and his point. They are just blasting humans with such heavy artillery it is not funny. That is civil war. Natural disasters are way more intriguing and how it might be prevented in the future.

A place near Laos/Thailand/Burma has been hit with a 7.2 magnitude earthquake. No tsunami warnings. Keep track of the areas on that tectonic plate. Warning to all the noemallers members that live in the red zone.
