Last check I heard two. I expect thousands of deaths. This was the biggest quake in Japan for 140 years - and on top of that there was a catastrophic tsunami. This is actually a bigger disaster than Haiti, but government regulations ensured much better infrastructure and preparations and the standard of living is much higher.

5. Ugh. I also heard that some ships filled with people (one with over one hundred) vanished |
|
when the first wave hit. This is just a terrible tragedy.

8. If the tracks are along the coast line and the tsunami hits, they might be in the ocean... |
