it seems the eathquake is shrinking (are Japanese officials quantitatively easing down expectations)…

Whatever dudes, it’s just a matter of time, and when it happens for real we’ll see what you’ll be saying then.

a 7.1 might have been enough to again weaken the building housing those many tons of spent fuel. This week could see the collapse of that building and the evacuation of Tokyo, northern Japan, and the end of much of the life in the pacific. At least the end of edible ocean fish around the world in the next decade. If so, famine is just around the corner, as well as the end of surfing and swimming in the oceans. That means the beach scene will end all of the ocean resorts and millions will be unemployed.
Not possible? Really? Why not? Do you assume you know more than the scientists around the world?
