wow, glad no one was injured and nearly on the anniversary of the 2010 earthquake

death toll in chch is now 160. now there's toxic dust sweeping across the city with everyone having to wear masks.
must be hard for people with asthma and other respiratory illnesses

[EscapeGirl]

Yeah, and I haven't heard any new reports of injuries or damage from CNN regarding Chile. That's good.

That's terrible about ChristChurch. Geez. Disasters are always followed by more and more awful conditions. Not fair...

An earthquake with magnitude 8.9 has hit Japan, and apparently there are also tsunami waves


EDIT 6 hours later
The situation seems to be devastating in Japan due to the earthquake and tsunami, I've read news articles and seen videos.
My thoughts and prayers are with the Japanese people.

[EscapeGirl]

This is so tragic. And earthquakes seem to be more and more frequent these days.... My heart goes out to them.

[Chocbubbles]

oh, poor japan
the videos of the earthquake and especially the tsunami are so scary
i'm thinking of all of the people over there

[Mistery]

Yes, it's terrible and scary

There has been apparently an explosion at the nuclear plant in Fukushima

[Chocbubbles]

oh really? when did that happen?
do you know how big it was?

[Mistery]

About 2 hours ago. The walls of one of the reactor buildings seem to have broken off, and 4 workers who were working on cooling the reactor were injured.
No clearer info is available at the moment, the situation is being assessed.

Here's a video of the explosion:

Perhaps, my words are here on the wrong thread.
I thought, we played so many games from japan here, like towers of eternity or the minoto series.
Is it possible to write good wishes from all of us to those authors?

[tipper75]

I think you just did, thanks bip!

Hi bip, that was what I was also thinking about today. I don't know if those game authors have electricity and internet connection at the moment, but I think that this is a great idea to show them that we care!

I'm going to try to contact a few of the game creators in the name of the GH community (in simple English), and will keep you updated, who I have written to, and if I got any reaction

And, we could also create a separate thread here on the forums, so that every member who wishes, can write something.

[funja]

I think that is a great idea, in a time of need it is always helpful to read things that show people care
