What words can describe the awe of viewing the coverage ... this is astounding devestation ...
Here in Canada I heard the ambassador from Japan giving a radio interview, and he was so very ... Japanese: apologizing before saying they were very well prepared for earthquakes; apologizing before saying "your southern neighbours (i.e. the United States) have been very helpful". At one point, very off-hand, he says "of course there has been no looting" (!)
It can't all be roses in how they're dealing with it over there, but if any country in the world can weather something like this and come out on top of it in record time, I trust Japan to do it. Keeping fingers crossed their reactor troubles don't get any worse.
