Quite correct and the sooner we realize it the better it will prepare us for what’s to come.

Heartbreaking and awesome scenes indeed - our collective prayers and good wishes must go to all those involved.

whats galling is that Japan is probably the best prepared country on the planet for dealing with earthquakes and tsunamis - its the folk in mud huts on islands in the pacific that have no idea whats coming i fear for  :(
