No way. Japan is built for strong earthquakes while Indonesia wasn't.

The actual earthquake in Indonesia killed only a small amount, the following Tsunami sent the numbers skyrockting. Japan has buildings built to withstand the quake, but the Tsunami could do the same here - if it is a multi-meter high one then there is not much to stop it.

JLG- · Mar 11, 2011

Live tsunami holy shit

AbsoluteZero · Mar 11, 2011

Oh god I don't know if I can watch this Al Jazeera feed...

drifter444 · Mar 11, 2011

tsunami footage is crazy!

ramyeon · Mar 11, 2011

8.9 is scary as hell. But the richter scale isn't going to tell us how bad the damage and or possible casualties will be. So here's hoping the tsunami isn't as bad as predicted and that everyone over there is staying safe. I have a lot of friends over there from when I was a high school student in Japan so I'm definitely worried.

Lionel Mandrake · Mar 11, 2011

Holy... Looks like a Roland Emmerich movie. : (

Hoping for the best, but man that looks bad.

mj1108 · Mar 11, 2011

holy shit... live tsunami

Mindlog · Mar 11, 2011

Jibber Hack · Mar 11, 2011
