    I'm not sure what's the point of you bringing this up. Would you like for people to say "prayers, thoughts, and money go out....??" I'm sure plenty send their donations they just don't have to let everyone know about it.

    You're right, ElPigto, I shouldn't even brag about donating. I am just referring to how there's no talk about people asking where to donate, how to donate, etc., while just prayers won't bring monetary help. I admit my post would have been out of line.

    Donate, people.
    :grin: Yes, I haven't stopped...

    I don't believe that these Nuclear Reactors were ready for a 8.9 magnitude earthquake. I can't even believe they weren't even prepare for this kind of situation of a backup to cool this down or shut it off.

    Reports say they were ready for an earthquake, but not for the tsunami. Of course, given its location, they should probably have thought about tsunami, too.
