Ferk, an 8.4 is stuff that creates mountain ranges and wipes out thousands.Itbecomes a bit of a different ball game when you've got oil refinery fires, nuclear power stations and 10m tsunami's to deal with

just because japan has had a quake and casualties too, doesnt mean their pain should be belittled.

at last someone else with maybe the same opinion, i was watching the news before and they had f*ck wits go down to our shores and watch it come in, wasn't very big but not the point, you had idiots down there talking to the cameras,
