  1. Japanesse people
    Are very calm and disipline they follow rules and they dont panic… if that happen here in the philippines. cant imagine how pinoy reacts . We easily get panic and screams. Specially me .cant . imagine maybe i faint or pass out when i see that fire outside the plane. Still sad some coast guard didnt survive. 😢. But im happy. All passengers are safe. I hope it wont happen again…’

  4. Thats kinda normal considering Japan sits on the ring of Fire. But 1.7 considering they've had a minimum of 2.6 to 3.8 going on. They really shouldn't be cutting back on the building supplies n codes as much. As for NYC its sinking due to the excessive weight buildings ain't the only thing that's heavy. (Not body shaming just doing the math on the island, seriously unless the island is reinforced it's going down. n the supposed earthquakes are just physics at play when too much pressure is applied on the weakest stress spots)

  5. The Japanese people have had to deal with earthquakes for far longer than the American people. It's no wonder they reacted the way they did.

    A 1.7 magnitude earthquake isn't very bad though. The East Coast isn't very unstable I would've expected a stronger quake to hit the Midwest, in Texas.
