Default Re: 8.9 earthquake off Japanese Noreastern coast

Yep, that is in the book of Daniel. (ironically, it's the story my son's class did last Sunday).
Oh, other reports I've run across: There have been 5 deaths and 2 missing people at Fukushima and that group of 50 techs is actually 3 teams of 50 each on a rotating basis. I think they even may have had to pull back now—not real sure.

Another bit: the Japanese emperor spoke directly to his people via video today, here's an excerpt (in English):
Quote:

"It is important that each of us shares the difficult days that lie ahead," Emperor Akihito said Wednesday. "I pray that we will all take care of each other and overcome this tragedy."
There's actually a word in Japanese for never, ever giving up.
