| what i found unbelivable was this:
you are sitting on the beach, and all of a sudden, the water starts *retreating, into the sea* what do you do??? now i dont think im especially knowledgable, but i know that when the water starts retreating, that means a tsunami. yet there are videos of people sitting on the beachs and its only once the waves hit taht they start to panic
i feel so frustrated
i wish they knew had known this as more may have lived
i read in an article in the Age (sorry, physical article, not online) that the tactonic plate that was dislodged was over 100km long and was pushed up 30m.
ironically they think that this movement, because it was so drastic, may actually reduce the number of earthquakes in japan due to the now displaced tactonic plates!!!! |
