The Road Less Travelled

Daar was 'n massiewe aardbewing in Japan wat 8,8 op die Richterskaal gemeet het.

Groot skade en lewensverlies

Blykbaar is daar 'n 4 meter tsunami voorspel, maar dit is op sekere plekke 10 meter
hoog !

It's terrible!

Here's a live feed:

Die mens se gierigheid sal tot sy ondergang lei. Ek verontskuldig nie myself nie. Ons is almal skuldig. Dit help ook nie om dit nou te probeer verander nie. Dit is maar die roete wat die wereld bestem is om te stap.

Geboue wat as wolkekrabbers bekendstaan, myne wat so diep gaan dat die wande daarvan te warm is om aan te raak so naby is dit aan die gesmelte rots en damme wat eerder lyk soos mere...(die onnatuurlike versameling van water bloot dat mense in Arizona en Koekenaap ook groen gras in die voortuin kan he) ..... Dit alles verswak die dun lagie rots wat ons skei van die lawa. Miskien hou dit darem nog 'n paar jaar.

As dit bestem is vir die mens om voort te bestaan sal dit nie 'n skipper soos Noag se taak wees om 'n paar vrugbares te red nie, maar eerder 'n Neil Armstrong! :MrGreen: En dan worry party ouens nog oor die Eliminatie en die swart mag! :evil2:

Dis regtig erg!!!!!!!!!

Die salami gaan Hawaai blybaar oor 4uur tref  :eek:

Dis erg.


2012...

Oo shirt maar jys snaaks! Slaat hom trug mette poloni! :evil2: Wat kan ons maak. Ons is geniune magteloos. Dit help nie om te stres nie!

Hel dis erg...

               :shocked3:           :shocked3:

Dit lyk baie erg!

Dis masief!!     ek kuk nou op kanaal 400     BBC news.

So pas met 'n pel gesels wat tot verlede jaar vir paar jaar in Tokyo gewoon het. Hy se hy lei darem af vanaf facebook dat die meeste van hul pelle OK is. Die een ou het hy mee telefonies gesels. Hy werk steeds in dieselfde gebou as waar hy ook gewerk het. Toe die skudding gebeur was die ou buite die kantoor. Hy het igehardloop...alles chaos...gekyk dat daar geen brande is nie...toegetrek en in sy kar gespring en teruggejaag na Tokyo waar sy vrou en kinders is. Toe hulle kontak gehad het het die ou steeds in die verkeer gesit en kon nie direkte kontak met sy gesin kry nie, maar wel via vriende in London gehoor dat hul OK is. Skynbaar het al die katte, honde, budgies en kois pad gevat! :-\

Ek sit en kyk op eNews channel, nogal erg. Nog video clips op CNN se site ook.

Dr Roger Musson, of the British Geological Survey (BGS), explained that the devastating earthquake occurred because the Pacific Plate is plunging underneath Japan.

He said: 'The cause of this earthquake is that the Pacific Plate, which is one of the largest of the tectonic plates that makes up the crust of the Earth, is plunging deep underneath Japan.

'It's being pushed down and it can't slide down smoothly so it sticks.

'It sticks for tens of years and then eventually it breaks and moves very suddenly down and as it does so it buckles and gives the seabed a sudden kick over areas of hundreds of square kilometres and that displaces an enormous volume of water.

'That water just races away in the form of this enormous wave in all directions.'

Last month's New Zealand quake was caused by the Pacific Plate being forced under the Indo-Australian Plate.

Dis nou al ou nuus, maar ek wil maar net weer he dat 'n mens baie realisties moet wees oor die werklike feit dat die wereld kleiner raak!  :evil2:

A lunar perigee occurs once a month. However, next week's perigee coincides with a full moon - a combination of events that happen just once every two or three years.

John S Whalley, geoscience programme manager at the University of Portsmouth, agreed there was no correlation.

'There is no established correlation between variations in the orbit of the moon and either the number or magnitude of earthquakes.

'It is all too easy, with hindsight, to link major earthquakes to variations in all sort of parameters.

'The real test is to look at the vast numbers of earthquakes of all magnitudes that occur on a daily basis worldwide.

'Any correlation with the lunar orbit would have to be established on the basis of this population of earthquakes, not on individual high magnitude events. In need hardly add that no such correlation has been established.'

However, despite this wall of doubt there is a small and vocal minority of astrologers that insist a supermoon or 'lunar perigee' does exist.

In his ABC interview Mr Nolle added: 'Supermoons are like eclipses. We have roughly five to six per year and so it can be very close to Earth but we don't have to have one at the maximum close approach to have a notable effect.'

Nice foto!

Hele dorpies en mense is weg. Verbeel jou. Plet tot mosselbaai, george ingesluit omdat dit minder as 10 km van oseaan af is, verspoel almal dood. Niemand oor nie dink almal wie jy ken is weg. Dis verskriklik. Dis die geval gewees met die 2005 tsunami
wat my pla is die tektoniese plate is aktief. Ek hoor paris hilton sing its going good in los angeles gister. Wat hulle moet besef is dat hulke ook op tektoniese plaat le en ekal nie so vinnig sing as ek sy was nie

Ja, dis nogal sad om die video clips te kyk  :sad2:

Julle moet google earth 6 download.  daarna gaan na google toe en soek vir google earth images of japan.  die google neoeye-1 het nuwe images gepost op google earth

Nou het a vulkaan erupt in Japan!   :-\

Ag nou wat nou nog? Arme mense.

 :eek:

Ongelooflik!


Die tegnologie vandag is ook darem fantasties  :thumb:

Tokio - ‘n Sterk aardbewing het laat Dinsdagmiddag geboue in die Japannese hoofstad, Tokio, laat skud, slegs vier dae nadat ‘n massiewe aardbewing ‘n verwoestende tsoenami aan die land se noordoostelike kus teweeggebring het.

Die Japanse Meteorologiese Agentskap het gesê die aardbewing het ‘n meting van 6.0 op die Richterskaal behaal.

Die episentrum van die aardbewing was sowat 120 kilometer suidwes van die hoofstad, naby Berg Fuji in die Shizuoka-gebied.

Die aardbewing was relatief vlak, op 10 kilometer.

Geen verdere inligting is op hierdie stadium nog bekend nie.

"ma se eiers" dis sand wat oral op die lughawe gestrooi is! 

Nuwe video wat nou sy verskyning op Youtube gemaak het........


Dis skrikwekkend!!  :eek:

Dis bitter erg!

Japan rocked by 7.4 quake
2011-04-07 17:20

Tokyo - Japan was rattled by a strong aftershock and tsunami warning on Thursday night, nearly a month after a devastating earthquake and tsunami flattened the northeastern coast.

The Japan meteorological agency issued a tsunami warning for a wave of up to 2m.

The warning was issued for a coastal area already torn apart by last month's tsunami, which is believed to have killed about 25 000 people and has sparked an ongoing crisis at a nuclear power plant.

Initial reports said that no impact was immediately detected at the Fukuskima nuclear reactor site.

Officials say Thursday's aftershock was a 7.4-magnitude and hit 40km under the water and off the coast of Miyagi prefecture. The quake that preceded last month's tsunami was a 9.0-magnitude.

Buildings as far away as Tokyo shook for about a minute.

In Ichinoseki, inland from Japan's eastern coast, buildings shook violently, knocking items from shelves and toppling furniture, but there was no heavy damage to the buildings themselves.

All power was cut immediately after the quake.

The city went dark, but cars drove around normally and people assembled in the streets despite the late hour.

US Geological Survey gave the preliminary magnitude as 7.4 and it struck off the eastern coast 100km from Sendai and 140km from Fukushima. It was about 345km from Tokyo.

The depth was 40km.

Shallower quakes tend to be more destructive.

Hundreds of aftershocks have shaken the northeast region devastated by the March 11 earthquake, but few have been stronger than 7.0.

A Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre evaluation of the quake said an oceanwide tsunami was not expected.

SAPA

Dis nou meer as 'n jaar later en die Japanese volk het uit die as opgestaan en
aangegaan met hul lewens.

Hier is baie interessante foto-verslag van hoe dit gelyk het na die tsunami en hoe dit nou
lyk na die opruiming.

Verlang jy? :-)
