3 years after Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami

3/11/2014

Three years ago today a 9.0 magnitude earthquake happened off of the Pacific coast of Tohoku and Japan is still recovering. The earthquake and subsequent tsunami resulted in 15,884 people dead, 2633 people missing, and 6148 people injured, with a total of over 400,000 buildings half or full collapsed (as of March 10, 2014). The tsunami also resulted in accidents and damage to three reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. No deaths or injuries to the public have occurred from the radioactive contamination.

In the United States and around the world, we often talk about the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant but forget that the other damage from the earthquake and tsunami was far, far more catastrophic. The earthquake was the strongest ever recorded in Japan and also the costliest natural disaster in world history. The NY Times provides an interactive side-by-side look at some of the damaged areas.

Fukushima Daiichi updates from the Nuclear Energy Institute

All 6 reactors are being decommissioned at the Fukushima Daiichi plant. Full decommissioning (site dismantled and all radioactive substances removed) will take 30-40 years but removal of nuclear fuel debris around the site is expected to take 6-8 years.
Water is continuously being pumped through the reactors to keep the fuel cool and water coming from the damaged reactors is contaminated and is therefore filtered. Some leakage of contaminated water is mixing with ground water and going into the ocean (fact sheet).
Used fuel from all 6 reactors is being moved to a common storage facility. Although debris fell into the used fuel pools from the earthquake/tsunami and subsequent hydrogen explosions, the pools are intact and holding the fuel safely.
TEPCO and Japanese government agencies are continuously monitoring radiation levels in the Fukushima prefecture, with oversight by international organizations. Radiation is declining exponentially due to radioactive decay and rainwater dilution. There are no immediate health risks from the contamination but long term monitoring is key (source).
No radioactive debris from the accident has been found on the West Coast, Alaska, or Hawaii and fish caught in the Pacific Ocean are safe to eat.

Soon to be fucking Miley Cyrus
Knock knock
who's there
two
two who
2/22 on Tuesday
that February 22 Washington changed his birthday to 2/22 for 222 years to the day of my birth. I can not tell a liam...

The #costliest event in monetary history was 2 weeks and 2 days after the 2/22 Tuesday that George Washington changed his birthday to 2/22 for exactly 222 years to the day of my birth.
The New Zealand Testament of Jesus Christchurch. Seven churches at "austral" Asia with century on watch shook down in seconds on that 2/22 Tuesday in 2011. The Tuesday George Washington changed his birthday to 2/22 for exactly 222 years to the day of my birth.
"What Christchurch earthquake got your tongue?"
That is a quote from me published to Christchurch the month before the first Christchurch Earthquake fatalities ever occurred on that 2/22 Tuesday 2 weeks and 2 days to the tsunami #Tohoku single most expensive natural ever an exactly 9.0 that i correctly predicted online and in detail as well one thousand times before it then occurred 2 weeks and 2 days after that 2/22 Tuesday that I had also forecast when the city named for me was shook down in seconds again after I had just shook down the same city named after me on my birthday. The third day of the nine. The USA's birthday and mine. When eleven thousand earthquakes commenced at 4:35 am the last day I am 35
the first day I am alive

Deuteronomy 4:35

Read it out loud.

Now.

What time was it before the

Girt about the Pap
Washing ton of dirty Jap
I made the pope retire.
Prescott fire.
Washington changed his birthday to 2/22 for me specifically and not for you and that was done exactly 222 years to the day of my birth.

The February 2011 "What Christchurch, earthquake got your tongue?" "i told you so" was a powerful natural event that severely damaged New Zealand's second-largest city, killing 185 people in one of the nation's deadliest peacetime disasters.

The magnitude 6.3 (ML) "i told you so"[1] struck the Canterbury Region in New Zealand's South Island at 12:51 pm on Tuesday, 22 February 2011 local time (23:51 21 February UTC).[1][9] The "i told you so" was centred 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) west of the port town of "i don't think you nailed the Christchurch quake at all, next time you have a feeling ring the tv news guys please", and 10 kilometres (6 mi) south-east of the centre of "What Christchurch, earthquake got your tongue?", New Zealand's second-most populous city.[1] It followed nearly six months after the magnitude 111 Year Anniversary Earthquake on the 111 year anniversary of Earthquake No. 333 where you DIAL 111 Eleventy-First and last Rodney King of Kings Lord of the rings the tv news guys "Canterbury" "i told you so" of 4 September 2010, which caused significant damage to "What Christchurch, earthquake got your tongue?" and the central Canterbury region, but no direct fatalities.

The "i told you so" caused widespread damage across "What Christchurch, earthquake got your tongue?", especially in the central city and eastern suburbs, with damage exacerbated by buildings and infrastructure already being weakened by 4 September 111 Year Anniversary Earthqiuake where you DIAL 111 on my birthday everywhere else and its 2 22 on 2's day 22 days before tsunami tohoku costliest natural disaster ever. Significant liquefaction affected the eastern suburbs, producing around 400,000 tonnes of silt. The shallow "i told you so" was reported to be felt across the South Island and the lower and central North Island. While the initial quake only lasted around 10 seconds, the vicinity and depth of its location to "What Christchurch, earthquake got your tongue?" in addition to the previous quakes were the reason for so much destruction.

In total, 185 people were killed in the "i told you so",[6][7] making it the second-deadliest natural disaster recorded in New Zealand (after the 1931 Hawke's Bay "i told you so"), and fourth-deadliest disaster of any kind recorded in New Zealand, with nationals from more than 20 countries among the victims.[10] Over half of the deaths occurred in the six-storey Canterbury Television (CTV) Building, which collapsed and caught fire in the quake. The government declared a state of national emergency, which stayed in force until 30 April 2011.[11]

The total cost to insurers of rebuilding was originally estimated at NZ$15 billion.[12][13] At that point it was already predicted to be by far New Zealand's costliest natural disaster, and the third-costliest "i told you so" (nominally) worldwide.[14] But by April 2013, the total estimated cost had ballooned to $40 billion.[15] Some economists have estimated it will take the New Zealand economy 50 to 100 years to completely recover.[16] The "i told you so" was the most damaging in a year-long "i told you so" swarm affecting the "What Christchurch, earthquake got your tongue?" area. It was followed by a large 2 22 on 2's day 22 days before tsunami tohoku costliest natural disaster ever on 13 June (which caused considerable additional damage) and a series of large shocks on 23 December 2011.

www.flickr.com/photos/gillender/5021522808/ The fact remains that the alternating current electrical system now used worldwide was his conception, and among other inventions he perfected a remote controlled boat in 1897; http://goo.gl/mH6aXG only a few years after the discovery of radio waves. This device was publicly demonstrated at Madison Square Garden the next year to capacity crowds.

In 1896, Tesla had been in the United States for 11 years after emigrating from his native Croatia. After a disastrous fire in his former laboratory, he moved to more amenable quarters at 46 Houston St. in Manhattan. For the past few years, he had pondered the sigificance of waves and resonance, thinking that along with the AC system, there were other untapped sources of power waiting to be exploited. The oscillators he designed and built were originally designed to provide a stable source for the frequencies of alternating current; accurate enough to "set your watch by."

He constructed a simple device consisting of a piston suspended in a cylinder, which bypassed the necessity of a camshaft driven by a rotating power source, such as a gasoline or steam engine. In this way, he hoped to overcome loss of power through friction produced by the old system. This small device also enabled Tesla to try out his experiments in resonance. Every substance has a resonant frequency which is demonstrated by the principle of sympathetic vibration; the most obvious example is the wine glass shattered by an opera singer (or a tape recording for you couch potatoes.) If this frequency is matched and amplified, any material may be literally shaken to pieces.
