Japan earthquake and tsunami: How to help
Japan was hit by one of the largest earthquakes ever recorded on March 11. The magnitude-9.0 quake spawned a deadly tsunami that slammed into the small island nation, leaving a huge swath of devastation in its wake. Thousands of people are dead and many more are still missing or injured; almost half a million people are homeless.
In addition, the country is facing a nuclear crisis that some experts warn may be much worse than the 1979 Three Mile Island disaster.
Japan has often donated when other countries have experienced disasters, such as when Hurricane Katrina impacted the United States. Below are organizations that are working on relief and recovery in the region.
AMERICAN RED CROSS: The American Red Cross is currently supporting and advising the Japanese Red Cross, which continues to assist the government in its response. You can help people affected by disasters, like floods, fires, tornadoes and hurricanes, as well as countless other crises at home and around the world by making a donation to support American Red Cross Disaster Relief.
GLOBALGIVING: Established a fund to disburse donations to organizations providing relief and emergency services to victims of the earthquake and tsunami. We are working with International Medical Corps, Save the Children, and other organizations on the ground to provide support. Our partners on the ground are working hard to provide immediate relief.
SALVATION ARMY: The Salvation Army has been in Japan since 1895 and is currently providing emergency assistance to those in need.
AMERICARES: AmeriCares and its relief workers in Japan are working to deliver medicines and supplies to hospitals, shelters and health responders to treat and care for survivors. The AmeriCares team began mobilizing within hours of the first reports of the dual disasters, dispatching an emergency response manager to Tokyo to direct the efforts of our relief workers in Sendai, the largest city closest to the impact zone. Our team is in direct contact with local officials, evacuation shelters and hospitals treating the injured in Miyagi, Fukushima and Iwate to determine health needs.
INTERNATIONAL MEDICAL CORPS: A team of doctors flew to Sendai, where they will be delivering supplies, assessing needs, and identifying communities that have not yet been reached. We continue to coordinate with local health authorities and partners on critical gaps, providing technical expertise and assisting with logistics.
SHELTERBOX: ShelterBox responds instantly to natural and man-made disasters by delivering boxes of aid to those who are most in need. The box includes a tent for a family of 10, cooker, blankets, water purification, tool kit and other items survivors need to rebuild their lives in the days, weeks and months following a disaster.

Hope you will survive. I just donated 12 dolars to Japan.
Japan was a country, where everything was simply "good". But now that tsunami shows, that it is just a "domino" country. You hit one thing, but cause many other things to fall v_v.
The day is now shorter (1 ms?) also ><. That just weird what happening with the world.
You are right NC.Something strange is happening..
I think some nasty things are going to come...
Poor Japan, i hope that the situation wont be worse. :-\

IMO that's why there are so many bad thing happening last time, more and more people don't longer believe in God ><.
Random events? Look what is happening in Libya now. For me it was a small country, where in fact was nothing going on, but now they have so powerful weapons and said, that if Europe attacks, Libya will attack Europe...
ur right!! Old books and bibles say it "those who dont belive in good Should not live in this earth" not sure but there is some Sentence like that ;)
It all started with help Haiti. I think VCMP will become a huge charity organization one day.

Well things like these were happening to Earth for billions of years. You can read thousand year old records where Japanese archivists write down earthquakes that destroyed castles. There was even one archive where a meteor shower killed off 100s of village peasants.
We live on a huge pile of dirt, under all that dirt are huge tectonic plates that move few centimeters a year and have random shapes. An average plate weights a 1000 trillion tons. When they hit each other so much power is released that the dirt starts to vibrate which causes an earthquake. Fortunelty the huge ammounts of dirt absorb the energy. You should all be happy for living in a such a peaceful and awesome planet. If the dirt layer was 50% finer we would be feeling much more powerful vibrations :)

I don't want to insult you but you're acting like an idiot. "HAARP" is theoretical evil organization that controls, weather, minds with their evil satellites. They kinda remind me of the "Illuminati". Their is no way you can control a 1000 trillion ton rock that is thousands of kilometers deep in the ground with a tiny satellite. Open your eyes.

Here's a tip. Turn water level to normal, set weather to 888, set time to midnight. That's a
REAL tsunami.
Yeah Skirmant you are right, that something similar happened ages ago... but that was ages ago. There were no cars, no skyscrapers, no radio, no VCMP :o. But now wherever we see, everything is modern, but it's weird that such problems like those earthquakes can't be stopped ><.
I don't think we need to prevent them. We only need to build huge buildings that can absorb the vibrations like rubber with out breaking apart. And maybe build a few huge cemented holes in the ground at areas that can have tsunamis so large amounts of water would go into them. Of course this requires $$$. Most companies that own skyscrapers can't afford too expensive materials.
Err. Returning to Country-Wars and etc.. Do you think that Lybia can beat EUROPE or N.A.T.O ?
Seriously.... 1 plane who can send a bomb and its all bullshit.
Singe the worst thing in this is that : Unguilty people are dying!!
Calm down, nutting gonna happen, quakes in japan are common thing for them but this one was just much more devastating.
But yeah, the nuclear plant meltdown is putting out alert round the world.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL 1 train in japan is missing still mising lol

Lybian rebels are chasing down soldiers that ran after their vehicles were bombed and beating the sh*t out of them. Cool or not, I'll let you decide.

Ok "plane" is a better name, couldn't remember how was it called before :P.
Mistake or not looks like begin of World War 3, but from what I heard, everything is more or less OK now in Lybia?
