Fellow reader Matthew in the U.S. (and ex-pat from Tochigi-ken, Japan) found this neat site: SHAKY.
Check out the swaying buildings - and remember that not one building collapsed in Tokyo where this (top) video was shot.
I would be curious to know just how many people died as a direct cause of the earthquake last Friday, March 11, and how many deaths were due solely to the raging tsunami and its effects.
I'm afraid that when it comes to that question, we may never really know the answer, though, as the tsunami has erased the evidence along with so many lives.
Gan batte, kudasai. (Do your best, please/or good luck, please.)
