How we as Americans begin to understand that yes this can happen to us as well in CA where they are saying in the next 30 we are expected to have a major earthquake such as this.
We are only seeing the beginning of what could happen. If there is a true melt down this will affect climate throughtout the world, the effects of the radiation, how the wind blows............
Japen could be almost wiped out if the radiation gets too high, the soil, plants, wildlife, air will be damaged the people will die, the island will be uninhabitable of worst comes to worst for many years. The people who live in Japan will have higher rates of cancer for many years to come and the next generation will be affected as well by. Their children will have a highter rate of birth defects.
Yes I belive this will change the world.
To my knowledge Japan doesnt have their own domestic oil reserves. They dont control the global stock market either. China may own a lot of our national dept but I have to admit I dont know how much Japan owns.

I live in Alaska, I am very aware this can happen here, Ive lived with earthquakes all my life. The Good Friday Earthquake of 64, second most powerful earthquake recorded, was bigger then this quake.

Japan has been through much worse, Hiroshima and Nagasaki. You do remember WW||?

Earthquakes like this are why Japan built small nuclear plants, to limit the radiation released in case of this type of catastrophe.

It is spelled Japan, not Japen.
