Japan in Crisis...

http://newsone.com/world/newsonestaff2/second-earthquake-japan-tsunami/

Last Friday, March 11, was very depressing... Japan hit by a super quake with a recorded magnitude of 8.9  (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKh-QaeT6rc), which in turn resulted Japan to issue a Tsunami alert. And indeed, in about 30 minutes after the quake, big waves engulfed some portions of Japan, specially Sendai. The water traveled so fast and so vast that the cars, buildings, houses and boats seemed like toys being drifted away by a flowing water from the faucet. I was worried watching the news at ANC (http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/ancliveevents) while in the office. Made me more worried when they issued alert level 2 for some areas in the Philippines which included Davao City (http://davaocitynews.blogspot.com/2011/03/map-of-philippine-provinces-affected-by.html).

After the major quake, countless of aftershocks were also experienced by the residents of Japan, and to add worry to the public, their nuclear plant's cooling system was said to have failed. Now, residents near the plant were asked to evacuate the area ASAP. How sad is that? They were saved from the tsunami but they are in a possible radiation danger due to a possible nuclear explosion?

Here are other links for the explosion in reactor 3 that somehow made a lot of individuals in PH worry due to some hoax text messages, claiming that it came from BBC as Flash Report, telling everyone that radiation will reach PH by 4PM today and that we should stay in closed doors for the first 24 hours and prepare a betadine for our thyroid... Well, no, that's not true. Let us all stay calm for now and really update ourselves from the right source of information. This is not something we can joke about... Somehow I thought, it could be a betadine advertisement, but I hope not... Let's take this matter seriously...

Until now, Japanese rescuers are still searching for survivors and retrieving lifeless bodies, that said to be more than 1,400, that the earthquake and tsunami left Japan. Let's continue to pray and hope for better days ahead...
