My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone in Japan tonight. This is terrible.

[Madmax 9,219]

Horrific stuff. We here have gone through this in 2004 and know how nasty this is. Deepest sympathies to the Japanese.

[Jose M 140]

I know this shouldn't be a concern at the moment but do you think this may affect our Pre season tour of Asia? In half an our the Tsunami will hit Papa New guinea !

Crazy stuff alright, reminded me of this...

[Tomo 21,733]

This is just horrific.

Whats worse is that quite a few other countries including New Zealand and part of America are also at risk.

[HRiver 1,512]

This is horrible. I saw this sort of map on the tele showing all of the countries which are at risk, and it seems that the US, Australia, Russia and many more are at risk.

My thoughts go out to people in Japan and to all of the countries included. God bless us everyone.

Shocking. I've been watching BBC News all day on my laptop at school. Puts exam results and so on into perspective. Deepest sympathies to all.

Just shows that no matter how developed(Haiti, Thailand or Japan) or prepared man-kind is, we're no match for Mother Nature, and never will. Sincere sympathies to everyone.

Sky news looks like an advert for that 2012 movie.

This could've been a whole lot worse had Japan not taken lessons from history and reinforced most of their buildings to withstand such natural disasters occurring. So in that aspect we should say "well done" to them for minimizing the death toll and infrastructure damage.

Rest in peace to all those who have lost their lives and I'm sure relief will come very soon! It's the very least we owe them after Hiroshima/Nagasaki. #SaveJapan.

Heard about this at work, was automatically thinking of the carnage in 2004. Devastating and something that cannot be prepared for.

Could be worst if two nuclear reactors go into meltdown and leak tons of radiation.

[Rambo 1,729]

Could be worst if two nuclear reactors go into meltdown and leak tons of radiation.

that would be catastrophic. My prayers are out to those needed in Japan, will look to donate asap.

[Steve 10,227]

Could be worst if two nuclear reactors go into meltdown and leak tons of radiation.

This is really bad. Thoughts are with the people in Japan.

[chrismada9 1,948]

this is absolutely horrifying to say the least. My deepest condolences to all those people of Japan who have been affected by this.

There's almost everything bad right now in Japan - have you heard of the latest volcanic activity there? I really feel so sorry for all the people there. It is catastrophic
