Wow, just woke up to backread, and this is starting to look more and more like a bad disaster movie, except it's all real and happening right now ._.
Yeah.. I'm really scared about that power plant.. water damage and buildings can be repaired.. a nuclear explosion will make the land useless.

1908 GMT: A magnitude 6.6 quake has now struck in central Japan, AP news agency reports, causing Tokyo buildings to sway. It is not clear if this is connected to the earlier quake and aftershocks. More on this as we get it.

Well, reactor's can't "explode" per say if I recall correctly, but failure to cool can cause a meltdown and thus severe irreversible radiation damage. No living soul will be able to come close to that area for a long long time if that happens ;/

1912 GMT: Japanese broadcaster NHK says the latest quake was centred in north-west Japan.

Oh God, another one?! Or is this some sort of aftershock?
What the *** is going on?

Oh they can explode. It's just not like a Nuclear bomb going off. They rain down fallout in a very wide radius around the explosion. That's what happened at Chernobyl.

This is a sad event, and although I do not believe in the big man upstairs, my prayers go out to all those involved. Another very sad thing is the amount of absolute scum and trolls on Asura who have been cracking jokes and talking smack about the event, while the death toll is still rising. I only feel shame for such people.
Sadly i'm pritty sure most 5 year olds would understand better then to keep the jokes running. Odd one here and there I can understand as human nature... but when they keep comming my faith in humanity drops faster then the time some people left a dirty diaper on a table at my work >.>

It's in a different location, hence why it is being reported on.

Guys, if you aren't absolutely sure about something, or have a source, don't say it please. You are just confusing the overall picture.

Suppose that makes sense. One gigantic rupture in a fault line will essentially loosen and give momentum for previously untriggered earthquakes to occur.

Not just you. But it's a pain having to clear stuff up when I'm trying to listen carefully to the BBC feed.

1919 GMT: Kyodo News reports that no fresh tsunami alert has been issued after the latest quake.
I've been watching the Beeb live feed all afternoon, before I came to FFXIAH and saw this thread.
What a disaster.
My prayers go out to everyone caught in this disaster, and I hope the new day brings new light on things, so that they can start the rescue effort.
Just hope there aren't many more aftershocks - the latest news is that 6.6 in central NW Japan. Worrying.
Hopefully the venting of the radioactive steam at Fukushima-Daiichi will stop any potential meltdown there.
Fingers crossed everyone, let's hope we all have good news of our Japanese friends / family soon.

Wow, this is pretty bad.. I think someone mentioned something about Japan having an earthquake last night just as I was going to bed, but I never expected anything like this.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaand I got news from my two friends.
The area they were in tokyo wasn't that affected they said so.
Thanks Daleterrence and Degs for the concern.
Also, my prayers and heart for everyone out there~

Chuuu, you just owned by the BBC.

1927 GMT: In the Indonesian capital Jakarta, the BBC's Kate McGeown says that the very word tsunami triggers memories of the devastating wave that struck in 2004, killing 170,000. But the tsunami warning there has now been lifted, she says.
