Japan is hit by a 9.0 earthquake. The earthquake causes a tsunami which destroys homes and drowns thousands of people. The tsunami knocks over turbines that cool down fuel rods within nuclear reactors, causing them to heat up and potentially melt down into the country's soil, which would then poison crops and whatnot grown from the ground, kill people, contaminate the air, and possibly render Japan uninhabitable for hundreds of years. So yeah, must stink to be in Japan right now.

Joking aside, I'm actually paying more attention to this than to the Haiti earthquake. And I actually had family in Haiti whereas I know nobody in Japan. -_-. Perhaps it's the fact that I care so much for the video games and anime they make over there, as well as the fondness for their culture and food that I've gotten over the years that make me care. Eh, all I need now is some money, enabled texting on my cell phone, and the Red Cross's phone number. Then I can get crackin'.
