The country with the highest quality people (disciplined, hard working, and resilient). I wish everyone safety, with concern from Thailand.

First time see airport or airline staff give out blankets to stranded passengers. Japan customer service always one step above. Here in America? No staff will care that you sleep on the floor. You’re lucky to even see a staff

Horror? This is such an amazing example of how strong the infrastructure is. A 7 magnitude and power was fine everywhere just about where I saw videos. A 7 in California… we have major problems. Stay strong Japan, this is likely due to our mag 5 we had the other day.

Japan is far more prepared for a major quake than we are here in So Cal.

I suppose with that video of the bowling alley, there is an excuse for throwing a gutter ball in the middle of that.
