We only get news coverage of any depth if some Britons have died,
so this has barely registered over here. Disgusting, eh?

there was a set of Tsunami waves that hit Sendai about two hours ago, and they were going at least 2 km inland.
and yes, it is disgusting.
In Aus we hear about most things, but this was live coverage cos the japanese timezone is so close to ours.

I'm rarely happy when any natural disaster kills people
But my first comment to my boss this morning was "Well they'd better tidy up before I get there"...

There was an earthquake in Birmingham once
Not sure if anyone died though.

And the San Andreas fault led to a reasonably decent 1970s disaster movie
which gets bonus points for killing Charlton Heston

I'm a little dismayed that my first thought was
"I don't remember an earthquake in GTA: San Andreas".
