quote of the day

A lot of people say, 'I think I'll be OK,' without anything to support their reasoning. People need to think about what they would do if an earthquake hits — where they would escape to, what would hap

with respect to Tokyo given that the government announced the other day that in such a situation the major highways, roads etc. out of town will be closed to normal traffic, assuming of course that said roads/highways survive the quake and are usable in the first place, I don't think any of us will be going/escaping anywhere fast. of course it doesn't hurt to be prepared with emergency supplies, copies of important documents etc. but beyond that there is not much more people can do.

Based on statistics, (the sheer size of Tokyo, the number of people, expected number of deaths, etc) most people, like 99.9% of people in Tokyo, WILL be OK. I think this guy is just trying to use scare tactics to drum up some business.
