[11th March 2011] 8.9 magnitude quake hit northeast Japan
-
Hundreds along coast killed in tsunami
TOKYO - A FEROCIOUS tsunami spawned by one of the largest earthquakes ever recorded slammed Japan's eastern coast on Friday, killing hundreds of people as it swept away boats, cars and homes while widespread fires burned out of control. Tsunami warnings blanketed the entire Pacific, as far away as South America, Canada, Alaska and the entire U.S. West Coast.
Police said 200 to 300 bodies have been found in the northeastern coastal city of Sendai. Police said another 88 were confirmed killed and 349 were missing.
The death toll was likely to continue climbing given the scale of the disaster.
The magnitude 8.9 offshore quake unleashed a seven-metre tsunami and was followed by more than 50 aftershocks for hours, many of them of more than magnitude 6.0.
The government ordered thousands of residents near a nuclear power plant in Onahama city to evacuate because the plant's system was unable to cool the reactor. The reactor was not leaking radiation but its core remained hot even after a shutdown. The plant is 270km northeast of Tokyo.
Dozens of cities and villages along a 2,100-kilometre stretch of coastline were shaken by violent tremors that reached as far away as Tokyo, hundreds of kilometres from the epicentre.

Waves cause no damage in the Philippines, Indonesia
MANILA - SMALL tsunami waves hit the Philippines hours after a massive quake struck Japan on Friday, but there were no reports of local damage or casualties, its chief state seismologist said.
'This looks like good news,' Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology director Renato Solidum told a news conference after reporting waves ranging from 30cm to one metre.
Meanwhile, the Indonesian meteorology and geophysics agency said that the tsunami reached Indonesia's eastern coastline without causing any damage.
'A tsunami of only 10cm triggered by the earthquake in Japan was detected in the North Sulawesi and Maluku islands,' the agency's official Rachmat told AFP.
'We have just lifted the tsunami alert in Indonesia.'
At least 60 people were killed and 56 missing in the massive 8.9-magnitude earthquake that hit Japan on Friday, unleashing huge tsunamis along its Pacific coast, police said.

No reports so far of any S'porean injured in Japan quake: MFA
SINGAPORE : Singapore's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) said there are no reports so far of any Singaporean injured in the 8.9-magnitude earthquake which struck off Japan's coast on Friday.
The ministry said the Singapore Embassy in Tokyo has activated the Emergency Contact Network (ECN) system, and will continue to contact registered Singaporeans in affected areas.
Channel NewsAsia was in touch with some Singaporeans living or working in Japan on Friday.
29-year old Singaporean engineer Abel Li, who is in Yokohama city, said the electricity supply was cut off when the earthquake struck.
Mr Li, who is on work attachment there with two other Singaporeans, said they all ducked under the table for safety and were safely evacuated from the building.
He said: "When we walked down the stairs, we could see a lot of the ceiling panels dropping, (and) there were a lot of the cracks on the wall. And even outside, after the quake, you could still see the signboards and the building swaying quite a bit.
"The traffic signals are out, so there are traffic jams almost everywhere. The telephone signals are quite intermittent, so you could see a lot of Japanese colleagues who are trying to call back their friends and families - it was very hard to get through."
Those in Tokyo also felt the tremors.
30-year old Singaporean Rita Pang, who was in her office in Roppongi district, said she had to walk home as the trains stopped operating.
She said: "It does happen pretty often, that we have this kind of swaying and shakes, but usually they end pretty soon, like within a minute. But this time, the building started shaking and swaying for a long while. And it got worse by the minute.
"So after about 5 minutes or so, they finally made an announcement through the building (PA system) to ask us to go down and get evacuated from the building."
Ms Pang has since stocked up on food and water in case there are aftershocks.
24-year-old Singaporean student Amanda Lin was in a subway train when the incident happened. She said she went to a cafe next to a park to wait out the tremors.
"The train started swaying, but all of us thought it was just a normal, regular earthquake because it happens quite often. But then it started to move very violently, (and) people started grabbing onto the poles. And it actually stopped for about 15 minutes before it crawled to the next station," she added.
Japan's north-eastern region of Sendai bore the brunt of the tsunami.
In an email to Channel NewsAsia, Singaporean Melissa Heng - who is working as a teacher there - said the situation is very bad. She said there is massive damage to the school and the "aftershocks are scary".
Ms Heng said she is holding up with colleagues and students in a shelter. Her email read: "Situation in Sendai very bad. Temperatures sub-zero and snowing. Massive damage in school. I haven't been out in the streets, but the aftershocks are just as scary.
"I'm in shelter now with colleagues and students - no signal, water or electricity. But I'm safe. Earlier I heard magnitude in Miyagi - which is the prefecture that Sendai is in - was 7.9. Sendai airport was shutdown. But I have no information where I am. We all just want to get through this unhurt."
At least 300 Singaporeans are currently on holiday in Japan.
CTC Travel said its four tour groups in Tokyo and Hokkaido are safe. The company has not received any tour cancellations to Japan as yet.
Alicia Seah, senior vice-president, Marketing, CTC Travel, said: "We have almost 1,000 customers who will be departing from tomorrow onwards till the early part of April. To date, we have not received any cancellations, but there are calls of concern."
Chan Brothers said its six tour groups of 160 people across Japan are not affected by the quake.
Scheduled fights have been affected. Singapore Airlines said it had to cancel one flight (SQ634) to Japan's Haneda airport that was supposed to depart at 3.40pm. Passengers were already on board when they were informed that the flight could not take off, and had to disembark.
SIA said it has arranged accommodations for affected passengers not living in Singapore.
MFA said it is closely monitoring the situation and will render necessary consular assistance to affected Singaporeans.
Singaporeans who require assistance are advised to contact the Singapore Embassy in Tokyo or the MFA Duty Officer at:

More than 45 nations ready to help quake-hit Japan
GENEVA: The United Nations said Friday that search and rescue teams from more than 45 countries were ready to head to quake and tsunami hit Japan if the Asian state needs help.
"More than 68 teams from more than 45 countries are on standby," Elisabeth Byrs, spokeswoman of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) told AFP.
The search and rescue teams mobilised under a UN disaster response network are monitoring the situation and ready to help should Japan request aid, she explained.
"The UN stands ready to help," said Byrs.
Byrs told journalists that OCHA experts were in constant contact with their counterparts at Japan's disaster relief authority.
Hundreds of people were killed on Friday when the strongest earthquake ever to hit Japan and its capital Tokyo also unleashed a terrifying tsunami that slammed into the northeastern city of Sendai and the surrounding area.

2011 is already like that, 2012 will be worse. May be earth is aligning herself. I don't believe 2012 is end of the world. As one of the forumer said, it is the year when earth is adjusting herself.
Count ourselves lucky to be in Singapore. Many said to be Singaporeans are �世修�的 because there are no natural disasters here though we have other stress in life.

We have an ongoing disaster in the Government and that disaster had continuous aftershocks and tsunamis.
Well, most people are looking at Singapore via the eye of the hurricane. They cannot see the impending danger surrounding us.

Explosion at Japan's quake-hit nuclear plant - media
FUKUSHIMA, Japan (Reuters) - Japan scrambled on Saturday to avert a disastrous meltdown at a nuclear plant damaged when a massive earthquake and tsunami struck the northeast coast, killing at least 1,300 people.
Jiji news agency said there had been an explosion at the stricken 40-year-old Daichi 1 reactor and TV footage showed vapour rising from the plant, which lies 240 km (150 miles) north of Tokyo.
The country's nuclear safety agency could not confirm the reported incident, which came as plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Co (Tepco) worked desperately to reduce pressures in the core of the reactor that -- if not contained -- could lead to a release of radiation into the atmosphere.
"An unchecked rise in temperature could cause the core to essentially turn into a molten mass that could burn through the reactor vessel," political risk information service Stratfor said in a report. "This may lead to a release of an unchecked amount of radiation into the containment building that surrounds the reactor."
NHK television said the outer structure of the building that houses the reactor appeared to have blown off, which could suggest the containment building had already been breached.
Earlier the operator released what it said was a tiny amount of radioactive steam to reduce the pressure and the danger was minimal because tens of thousands of people had already been evacuated from the vicinity.
Media reports estimate at least 1,300 people may have been killed by the 8.9 quake, the biggest since records began in Japan 140 years ago, and the 10-metre tsunami that swept ferociously inland after it struck.
Italy's National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology said the earth's axis had shifted 25 cm as a result of the quake and the U.S. Geological Survey said the main island of Japan had actually shifted 2.4 metres.
Japanese officials and experts have been at pains to say that while there would be radiation leaks, they would be very small and have dismissed suggestions of a repeat of a Chernobyl-type disaster.
THOUSANDS FLEE
Friday's tremor was so huge that thousands fled their homes from coastlines around the Pacific Rim, as far away as North and South America, fearful of a tsunami.
Most appeared to have been spared anything more serious than some high waves, unlike Japan's northeast coastline which was hammered by the huge tsunami that turned houses and ships into floating debris as it surged into cities and villages, sweeping aside everything in its path.
"I thought I was going to die," said Watauga Fuji, a 38-year-old sales representative in Koriyama, Fukushima, north of Tokyo and close to the area worst hit by the quake.
"Our furniture and shelves had all fallen over and there were cracks in the apartment building, so we spent the whole night in the car... Now we're back home trying to clean."
The unfolding natural disaster, which has been followed by dozens of aftershocks, prompted offers of search and rescue help from 50 countries.
The central bank said it would cut short a two-day policy review scheduled for next week to one day on Monday and promised to do its utmost to ensure financial market stability.
The disaster struck as the world's third-largest economy had been showing signs of reviving from an economic contraction in the final quarter of last year. It raised the prospect of major disruptions for many key businesses and a massive repair bill running into tens of billions of dollars.
The earthquake was the fifth most powerful to hit the world in the past century. It surpassed the Great Kant quake of Sept. 1, 1923, which had a magnitude of 7.9 and killed more than 140,000 people in the Tokyo area.
The 1995 Kobe quake caused $100 billion in damage and was the most expensive natural disaster in history.

Radiation leaking from Japan's quake-hit nuclear plant
FUKUSHIMA, Japan (Reuters) - Radiation leaked from a damaged Japanese nuclear reactor north of Tokyo on Saturday, the government said, after an explosion blew the roof off the facility in the wake of a massive earthquake.
The developments raised fears of a meltdown at the plant as officials scrambled to contain what could be the worst nuclear disaster since the Chernobyl explosion in 1986 that shocked the world.
The Japanese plant was damaged by Friday's 8.9-magnitude earthquake, which sent a 10-metre (33-foot) tsunami ripping through towns and cities across the northeast coast. Japanese media estimate that at least 1,300 people were killed.
"We are looking into the cause and the situation and we'll make that public when we have further information," Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano said after confirming the explosion and radiation leak at the plant.
Edano said an evacuation radius of 10 km (6 miles) from the stricken 40-year-old Daiichi 1 reactor plant in Fukushima prefecture was adequate, but an hour later the boundary was extended to 20 km (13 miles). TV footage showed vapour rising from the plant, 240 km (150 miles) north of Tokyo.

Along Japan's northeast coast, rescue workers searched through the rubble of destroyed buildings, cars and boats, looking for survivors in hardest-hit areas such as the city of Sendai, 300 km (180 miles) northeast of Tokyo.
Dazed residents hoarded water and huddled in makeshift shelters in near-freezing temperatures. Aerial footage showed buildings and trains strewn over mudflats like children's toys.
"All the shops are closed, this is one of the few still open. I came to buy and stock up on diapers, drinking water and food," Kunio Iwatsuki, 68, told Reuters in Mito city, where residents queued outside a damaged supermarket for supplies.
Across the coastline, survivors clambered over nearly impassable roads. In Iwanuma, not far from Sendai, people spelled S.O.S. out on the roof of a hospital surrounded by water, one of many desperate scenes.
The earthquake and tsunami, and now the radiation leak, present Japan's government with its biggest challenge in a generation.
The explosion at Chernobyl's nuclear plant's fourth reactor in 1986 sent thousands of tonnes of toxic nuclear dust billowing across the Ukraine, Russia and Belarus. It was the worst civil nuclear disaster.
The blast at the Japanese nuclear facility came as plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Co (TEPCO) worked desperately to reduce pressures in the core of the reactor.
The company has had a rocky past in an industry plagued by scandal. In 2002, the president of the country's largest power utility was forced to resign along with four other senior executives, taking responsibility for suspected falsification of nuclear plant safety records.
NHK television and Jiji news agency said the outer structure of the reactor building that houses the reactor appeared to have blown off, but nuclear experts said this did not necessarily mean the nuclear reactor had been breached.
Earlier the operator released what it said was a tiny amount of radioactive steam to reduce the pressure and the danger was minimal because tens of thousands of people had already been evacuated from the vicinity.
Reuters journalists were in Fukushima prefecture, about 70 km (40 miles) from the plant. Other media have reported police roadblocks in the area to prevent people getting closer.
INTERNATIONAL RELIEF EFFORT
Friday's tremor was so huge that thousands fled their homes from coastlines around the Pacific Rim, as far away as North and South America, fearful of a tsunami.
Most appeared to have been spared anything more serious than some high waves, unlike Japan's northeast coastline which was hammered by the huge tsunami that turned houses and ships into floating debris as it surged into cities and villages, sweeping aside everything in its path.

"Our furniture and shelves had all fallen over and there were cracks in the apartment building, so we spent the whole night in the car ... Now we're back home trying to clean."
In one of the worst-hit residential areas, people buried under rubble could be heard calling out for rescue, Kyodo news agency reported earlier.
The international community started to send disaster relief teams on Saturday to help Japan, with the United Nations sending a group to help coordinate work.
The disaster struck as the world's third-largest economy had been showing signs of reviving from an economic contraction in the final quarter of last year. It raised the prospect of major disruptions for many key businesses and a massive repair bill running into tens of billions of dollars.
Toyota Motor Corp, the world's largest carmaker, said it would suspend operations at all of its 12 factories in Japan on Monday to confirm the safety of its employees.
Italy's National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology said the earth's axis shifted 25 cm as a result of the earthquake, and the U.S. Geological Survey said the main island of Japan had shifted 2.4 metres.

More than 1,000 dead, 10,000 missing after Japan quake
SENDAI, Japan: An explosion at a Japanese nuclear plant triggered fears of a meltdown Saturday, after a massive earthquake and tsunami left more than 1,000 dead and at least 10,000 unaccounted for.
As workers doused the stricken reactor with sea water to try to avert catastrophe, Japan's Prime Minister Naoto Kan said the chaos unleashed by Friday's 8.9-magnitude quake was an "unprecedented national disaster".
The quake, one of the biggest ever recorded, unleashed a terrifying 10-metre (33-foot) wave that tore through towns and cities on Japan's northeastern coast, destroying everything in its path.
In the small port town of Minamisanriku alone, some 10,000 people are unaccounted for -- more than half the population -- public broadcaster NHK reported.
Even as Japan struggled to assess the full extent of the devastation, the nation faced an atomic emergency as cooling systems damaged by the quake failed at two nuclear reactors.
Smoke billowed from the Fukushima No. 1 atomic plant about 250 kilometres (160 miles) northeast of Tokyo, after an explosion blew off the roof and walls of the structure around the reactor.
Kyodo News agency cited the nuclear safety agency as saying that radioactive caesium had been detected near the ageing facility.
Kan's top spokesman Yukio Edano said the plant's operator had reported the reactor container was not damaged and that radiation levels had fallen after the blast, but indicated that work to bring it under control was ongoing.
"We have decided to douse the (reactor) container with sea water in order to reduce risks as quickly as possible," Edano told reporters.
Kyodo and Jiji reported before the explosion that the plant "may be experiencing nuclear meltdown", while NHK quoted the safety agency as saying metal tubes that contain uranium fuel may have melted.
Tens of thousands of residents were evacuated within a 20-kilometre radius of the stricken plant, and thousands more were shifted from another damaged plant, Fukushima No. 2.
Ron Chesser, director for the Center for Environmental Radiation Studies at Texas Tech University, said it was critical to cool the reactor core to avoid a meltdown that would result in "a large release of radiation".
"Reactors are not like your car that you can turn off and walk away. They're going to continue generating a great amount of heat until the core is disassembled," he told the US-based ScienceDaily website.
The wall of water unleashed by the strongest quake ever recorded in Japan pulverised towns and cities along the northeastern coast. Police reportedly said 200-300 bodies had been found in the city of Sendai.
Some 300-400 bodies were recovered in Rikuzentakata, a coastal town of some 23,000 people, NHK quoted the military as saying. Other authorities said the tsunami had obliterated the town.
The premier's spokesman said at least 1,000 people were believed to have lost their lives. Police said more than 215,000 people were huddled in emergency shelters.
"What used to be residential areas were mostly swept away in many coastal areas and fires are still blazing there," Kan said after surveying the damage by helicopter.
The raging tsunami picked up shipping containers, cars and the debris of shattered homes. It crashed through the streets of Sendai and across open fields, forming a mud slick that covered vast tracts of land.
"There are so many people who lost their lives," an elderly man told TV reporters before breaking down in tears. "I have no words to say."
In the shattered town of Minamisoma, 34-year-old housewife Sayori Suzuki recalled the utter horror of the moment the quake hit, shaking her home violently and washing away the house of a relative.
"It was a tremor like I've never experienced before," she told an AFP reporter.
"Another relative said he was fleeing in a car but watched in the rear-view mirror as the waves were catching up on him from behind. He escaped very narrowly."
"My brother works at the Fukushima No.2 nuclear power plant," Suzuki added. "He worked all through the night. I'm so worried about him because of the risk of radiation exposure."
Some 50,000 military and other rescue personnel were spearheading a Herculean rescue and recovery effort with hundreds of ships, aircraft and vehicles headed to the Pacific coast area.
The towering wave set off alerts across the Pacific, sparking evacuations in Hawaii and on the US West Coast.
The Bank of Japan said it would do its "utmost" to ensure the stability of financial markets after the quake brought huge disruption to key industries, raising short-term concerns for the nation's struggling economy.
In quake-hit areas, 5.6 million households had no power Saturday and more than one million households were without water. Telecommunications networks were also hit.
In a rare piece of good news, a ship that was earlier reported missing was found swept out to sea and all 81 people aboard were airlifted to safety.
Leading international offers of help, President Barack Obama mobilised the US military to provide emergency aid after what he called a "simply heartbreaking" disaster.
The United States, which has nearly 50,000 military personnel in Japan, ordered a flotilla including two aircraft carriers and support ships to the region to provide aid.
The quake hit at 2:46 pm (0546 GMT) and lasted about two minutes, making buildings sway in greater Tokyo, the world's largest urban area and home to some 30 million people.
More than a day after the first, massive quake struck just under 400 kilometres northeast of Tokyo, aftershocks were still rattling the region, including a strong 6.8 magnitude tremor on Saturday.
Japan sits on the "Pacific Ring of Fire" and Tokyo is in one of its most dangerous areas, where three continental plates are slowly grinding against each other, building up enormous seismic pressure.
The government has long warned of the likelihood that a devastating magnitude-eight quake will strike within the next 30 years in the Kanto plains, home to Tokyo's vast urban sprawl.

Yeahhhh! Tsunami is fun!!!!!
Can ride the waves.

So... are we still planning for a nuclear power plant in the future after this?
Unlike the Japs, don't think we have 20 km radius of uninhabited land for evacuation zone (according to BBC reporter trying to get to Fukushima people were stopped by police road blocks 60 km from the plant)...

Japan shaken by magnitude 6.2 aftershock
TOKYO - JAPAN has been shaken by a strong earthquake off its eastern coast, closer to Tokyo than the massive quake that hit Friday. The latest temblor swayed buildings in the capital.
The US Geological Survey says the temblor had a magnitude of 6.2 and struck at 10.26 am (9.26am S'pore time) on Sunday. It was centered about 179km east of Tokyo, at a depth of 24.5km.
Japan's northeastern coast was battered on Friday by a magnitude 8.9 quake, the largest on record in Japan, and an ensuing tsunami that washed over hundreds of miles of coastline, causing widespread destruction.
Japan has been rattled by more than 150 aftershocks since Friday's massive quake.
