Bangkoktraveler Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 They are claiming the damage is probably in the range of 1/2 trillion dollars. I suspect the insurance companies will be hard pressed to pay up that is if they got any reserves left to use for the payout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coss Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 "Yaroslov Shtrombakh, a Russian nuclear expert, said a Chernobyl-style meltdown was unlikely. "It's not a fast reaction like Chernobyl," he said. "I think that everything will be contained within the grounds, and there will be no big catastrophe."

bust Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Not sure if this is true but heard mentioned that the quake was that powerful and the shift in the tectonic plates were that severe it threw the earth off its axis point by at least 8 centimeters. To me that sounds pretty powerful but anyone want to have a guess at what that means to the average joe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rchapstick Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 What we need now is a 10.0 in North Korea. HH I am sure HH still has me on ignore for having the audacity to point out his hypocrisy, but .... That is one of the most awful things I have ever seen posted on this board. Yes the gov't and the military are fucked up, but to wish that kind of calamity on a deeply impoverished and oppressed people is just sickening.
