Well, been a day after the tsunami, and quite a lot of interesting new facts and comments are made everywhere!
First, NOAA made a computer model of the impact of the tsunami worldwide, which can be seen above. the NOAA Center for tsunami research
Second, the earthquake that created the mighty tsunami was not 8.X, but it was 9.0, full news at NewScientist
Third, the moon does not actually have anything to do whatsoever with this gigantic earthquake. More on discovermagazine
Fourth, Japan hasn't asked for any help. For those of you that donates to charity organizations saying it's for Japan, your donation probably hasn't reached Japan. Worry not, even if your donation isn't used for Japan, there's a possibility it can be used for another matter that's important too. If you ask, "Why are they asking donations now, and not after Japan asked for help?", well it's because people actually feels empathic when they see footage and videos everywhere about Japan's tsunami, that they actually want to donate. Wait a couple of weeks / months when Japan really needs help, and people probably won't feel as empathic and giving as the disaster won't be "news" anymore at that time.
Those are 4 facts that popped out today! And now, to see the worse part of this post. People actually made a lot of comments saying that this earthquake is God's payback to Japan from Pearl Harbour. No, I'm not joking, quite a number of US citizens made statements along that line. Seriously US? You bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki with your bomb. 2 towns. Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. And you're saying Japan got divine retribution for that?
Doesn't believe it? Check it out yourself!
(from facebook, search "Pearl Harbor" on the search bar, and search for Posts by everyone. I screencapped remarks and status that relates to the case at hand, some of the posts are actually about other things)
Or just check out this
Thank God there are still some sensible people though.
Seriously people, can't you empathize with others?
Oh, and, how long will you Americans continue embarrassing yourself in front of the whole world? Seriously, stop it, no one's impressed if you shout "LOLOLOLOL, JAPAN GOT PAYBACK FROM PEARL HARBOR.".
