Japan Earthquake: before and after
Aerial photos taken over Japan have revealed the scale of devastation across dozens of suburbs and tens of thousands of homes and businesses.
Note how scoured everything is..
Gosh, when you put it that way, it really does sound kinda serious.. Possible Fukushima Nuclear Fallout Projections For the U.S, Two Plants Meltdown Underway
Piers Corbyn: Massive Japan Earthquake & Tsunami Were Triggered by Solar Action From Infowars.com.
Weather Action owner Piers Corbyn says “The massive Japan Earthquake and Tsunami were triggered by massive events on the Sun and there are more to come in the next two years”
Incredible swarms of fish form off coast of Acapulco: But was surge caused by tsunami thousands of miles away?
The shores of Acapulco's beaches were this weekend teeming with masses of fish packed so tightly they looked like an oil slick from above.
Thousands of sardines, anchovies, stripped bass and mackerel surged along the coast of the Mexican resort in an event believed to be linked to the devastating Japanese tsunami. The Pictures are really cool, and since it's Mexico, there's no quake damage.

A meltdown occurs when the control rods fail to contain the neutron emission and the heat levels inside the reactor thus rise to a point that the fuel itself melts, generally temperatures in excess of 1000 degrees Fahrenheit, causing uncontrolled radiation-generating reactions and making approaching the reactor incredibly hazardous.
A meltdown does not necessarily mean a nuclear disaster.
As long as the reactor core, which is specifically designed to contain high levels of heat, pressure and radiation, remains intact, the melted fuel can be dealt with. If the core breaches but the containment facility built around the core remains intact, the melted fuel can still be dealt with — typically entombed within specialized concrete — but the cost and difficulty of such containment increases exponentially.
However, the earthquake in Japan, in addition to damaging the ability of the control rods to regulate the fuel — and the reactor’s coolant system — appears to have damaged the containment facility, and the explosion almost certainly did.
Tsunami warning center raises magnitude of Japan quake to 9.1
The Japan earthquake was the fourth most powerful ever recorded with a magnitude of 9.1, twice more powerful than the initial estimate of 8.9, Gerard Fryer, geophysicist of the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center, said this morning.
..
The new magnitude was adjusted based on the impact of the quake throughout the Pacific, he said. ”It fits all measurements, including in Hawaii,” Fryer said.
Will The Japanese Earthquake Be The Straw That Breaks Europe's Back?
So what will happen? Why a scramble for liquidity of course, just like we saw back in September 2008, when cash stricken companies sold all their liquid assets first, resulting in a toxic loop of self-fulfilling prophecy selling which almost tobbled(toppled?) the $25 trillion shadow banking system. And what will said Japanese insurance companies sell first? Why the very same Eurozone bonds they acquired with so much pomp and circumstance, by the minions of the insolvent Eurozone, back in January of course.
Every potential worst case scenario continues to spread wide, and rapidly..
