2. Damn
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.

10. Which leads me to ask, what are they missing in?
FOUR? Four trains? Where are/were the tracks?

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...
