Let it shake ever more violently and a big one to celebrate the 2020 Olympic Games. Something that will forever be edged in the memory of the Olympics. This life experience will really show that Japan can outdo China in everything including the opening and closing ceremonies. Lte's look forward to that.

Good comments Zichi. WilliB is jousting with windmills in his attempt to argue that a massive earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear plant explosion/melt down all within the week of 3/11 are not inextricably connected. Without any problems my foot.

" At the Fukushima No1 plant had three reactor meltdowns and the Fukushima No2 plant came within 60 minutes of having meltdowns. "

At Fukushima No. 1 plant, the plant survived the earthquake just fine. It shut down as designed, without any problem. As you well know. Your point?

And please spare us all the stories about the tsunami. You know very well that yes, tsunamis are caused by earthquakes. But that is a different issue. Why obfuscate the topic?
