The Big Earthquake in Japan
 

Thank you to everyone around the world for your comments, messages, and concerns. We are really touched by the outpouring of support for Japan from people everywhere!

Just to let you know, the JapanForum.com crew are all safe as far as we know at this time. Like you, our main concerns are with the victims of the tsunami and with anyone else who is still missing or injured from this disaster.

If you would like to discuss the earthquake with people here on the forum, there is a big earthquake discussion going on here

If you are in Japan and you need assistance or if you are trying to locate someone in Japan, please check out Google's Japanese earthquake resources here.

Again, we appreciate how kind everyone has been and please keep your prayers and well-wishes strong for the people who are still in need of help.

hope you guys in japan are doing a lot better!:rheart:

Thanks for letting us know, glad to know you are your team are safe.

Reactor Number 2 now breached.
 

An explosion just happened at Number 2 in Fukoshima. Apparently the seawater didn't hold out as long as I prayed and now the inner containment vessel has been damaged.

Can it possibly get any worse than this?

hang in there! things will get better! we are praying with you!!!!!!!;)

Basically yes, it could get worse. The partial nuclear meltdown could become total and...well...I don't even want to think about it...

I just hope that worldwide prayers will stop this disaster and protect the Japanese citizens, probably the most dignified people on Earth

:rheart: ADDDD MEEE PPL

I Can Help!
 

I can speak almost fluent but slightly ruff Japanese. if anyone needs a translator. also I'm a major computer tech whiz. I can help with any current problems anyone is having if your in japan and are having trouble with something such as cell phones or computers and need help getting it to work correctly please PM me.

Also i am widely versed on the maps of Japan and routes of major highways. I took a class on Japanese culture for this 2 years in a row. if anyone need road tips, city locations, or travel help getting around in japan you can also PM me.

Hey new to the forums here. Mainly wanted to voice my support for Japan during this difficult time. I am American/English but wanted to show I do care what is happening unlike our government. Some people might disagree with me but I think Obama playing golf when we should be helping our Japanese friends just really annoys me. I have donated and tried to find a way to volunteer and help but unfortunately they don't take just anyone as we would only get in the way. I do have an american friend (he goes out with a Japanese girl there) who lives there and he too is doing all he can to help out as much as possible. One thing I admire so much about the Japanese is their honor, pride and sense of community. I wish Japan a swift recovery and my thoughts and prayers go out to everyone there affected. This is one American (as I'm sure many others too) standing by your side.
