Run for cover Shiz. My office is swaying like you wouldn't believe. Sake, someone get me out of here!

You might be about to die. Do you:

a) Run for your life, or
b) Make sure everyone on NSC knows first, then run?

Used to this lark, mate, LOL. Ain't gonna be able to leave my computer any time soon either.

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

The one time I was in Tokyo I was in the middel of a presntation at the British Council when people started calmly getting off the seats and getting under the table. I had been so engrossed in the presentation that I hadn't noticed the shaking. Yet they were so calm about it. And the buildings are so well built to withstand it.

Stay safe JCF

Isn't it safer to post on NSC (from under a table of course)

Shiz is safe but it was a 'f***ing big 'un' and probably the biggest he's had in all his time there.

It's a worry so my thoughts are with him, as family, and to all you over NSC guys out there.

 

[salty seagull]

My thoughts are with him too,let`s all send him a big wave.......err maybe not,sorry.

 

[Freddie Goodwin.]

It's another day now and he's feeling less shaken this morning.

Wasn't one of our brethren in Sendai last week ? If I'm right, I guess he's out of there by now.

Cleary this is horrendous for Japan in many ways and it looks like we could be talking between 10,000 to 20,000 dead, which is awful. As bad as that is, it rather puts in perspective the boxing day tsunami, where they stopped counting the dead once they got to 250,000 - the true impact of that one will never be known.

Shiz was in Sendai a few months ago, for a match, and he posted some of his pics on another thread to show what a nice place it was.

Not been on here much last few days what with everything, but that was quite a biggie on Tuesday. That said, I've had worse, but because I now live on the 6th floor the swaying was that bit more hairy.

While I'm here, any one worried about the nuclear plant situation, may want to watch this:

Gotta love Japan, really.
