Earthquakes in Japan

1923: 7.9-magnitude, 143000 deaths

1927: 7.6-magnitude, 3000 deaths

1933: 8.4-magnitude, 3000 deaths

1943: 7.4 magnitude, 1200 deaths

1944: 8.1-magnitude, 1000 deaths

1945: 7.1-magnitude, 2000 deaths

1946: 8.1-magnitude, 1400 deaths

1948: 7.3-magnitude, 3800 deaths

1995: 6.9-magnitude, 5500 deaths

2011: 8.9-magnitude, 700 deaths so far.

So for having it's biggest earthquake in the last 100 years the death toll is amazingly good.


where did you get your numbers, they are expecting 100k deaths, also 2000 people have washed up on a beach in japan. 700 deaths will balloon out

yeah that would be horrific I doubt you could ever get that image away

The thing is with this earthquake Japan is a lot more advanced this time

3 Nuclear Reactors have a chance of Meltdown

Volcano has Erupted

Another Earthquake estimated to be 7.0 this time is apparently coming. 

add in the tsunamis. I doubt it will just be 100k unfortunately. 

EDIT: In fact I heard an interview with an Aussie on the radio and she was saying that hundreds of thousands dont exactly understand what is at stake with the nuclear reactors and expecting that they just have to distance. Military needs to fix this.

ANOTHER Earthquake? Where did you hear this. And that would be horrible!

A second explosion took place at a nuclear reactor and the 3rd one has lost cooling systems now. Really when things want to go wrong, it seems like everything goes wrong! 

I don't get how Nuclear Reactors work but is there no way to repair the cooling systems or something!

Lets hope the 7.0 earthquake doesn't cause another tsunami.

YEah if the nuclear reactors do blow, who knows when people will be able to return to their homes near it, I heard 125K people were evacuated (those who lived near each of the 3 reactors).

The next earthquake is expected to cause tsunamis apparently. The shake that started landslide in shinderu (?sp) mountain range was only an aftershock and it was only 6.0 or something... which is still massive

I heard about it on the radio. I will try to find a source
