wow wow wow... 1940: The 8.9-magnitude earthquake which struck Japan on Friday was the strongest in the area in nearly 1,200 years, David Applegate, a senior science adviser at the US Geological Survey, tells the Associated Press. He says the quake ruptured a patch of the earth's crust 240km (150 miles) long and 80km (50 miles) across.

What does that mean exactly?

Obviously there isn't a bottomless pit that is now 150 miles by 50 miles, or is there?!

I started watching coverage when they broke in on AC360. Fell asleep and woke up and watched some more, and I just cannot fathom the devastation. Switching around from all the news channels.. It is heartbreaking to watch.

My heart hurts, my soul hurts and yet I am mystified by the power of nature.

ISOTOPE to be released from nuclear waste plant is NITROGEN-16 - has a half life of 5 seconds decays to oxygen in the atmosphere, so is considered safe says Nuclear Physicist Professor Paddy Regan on Sky News.

Seems its a engineering problem as the power plant has a fail safe if it detects an earthquake and lowers the fuel rods out of the nuclear reactor. Seems they cant get reactor one temperature under control.

3.3 Earthquake in hawai, no less than 1 minute ago

Im curious with regards to the rupture in the Earths crust. What will occur as a result?

Any one in here with the expertise in this field if so maybe they can give us some insight. Or is this a new phenomnia to have happened>?

Looks like the solar winds are pressing hard on the magnetic field as we speak. I wonder what it looked like during the quake...

Looks like according to RSOE EDIS that there is now a volcanic eruption in Hawaii.

Interesting stuff guys.

Holy crap

Indeed you are right, I was just putting the guy right who was saying it was so potent because the reactor was running. Radioactive is still radioactive, even when you turn the power switch off.
