News from CNN- link

Sunday's major quake hit at 1:41 p.m. local time and was followed by at least 20 aftershocks, American and Turkish monitoring agencies reported.


Istanbul, Turkey (CNN) -- Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said 138 people are dead and 350 people injured in the wake of Sunday's earthquake -- the most powerful to strike the country in more than a decade.

The U.S. Geological Survey initially reported the quake had a magnitude of 7.3, then revised it down to 7.2.

Roughly 20 aftershocks rattled the region, one of the nation's poorest. The largest had a magnitude of 6.0.

Erdogan said 55 buildings collapsed in Ercis on the north shore of Lake Van, while the Turkish Red Crescent had said earlier that some 25 apartment buildings and a student dormitory collapsed in the town.

Turkey is "no stranger to having these seismic events," but Sunday's quake is considered major, CNN Meteorologist Reynolds Wolf reported.

A magnitude 7.6 earthquake in Izmit, Turkey, killed more than 17,000 people in 1999, according to the USGS. A magnitude 7.2 tremor in Duzce the same year killed 894 people, the USGS reported.

Report: Earthquake Rocks Thailand

Omg, Thailand got earthquake?


According to Google source

A 7.0 Earthquake has just hit near Thailand but reports are that no extreme damage has been caused.

An agency that monitors earthquakes has just reported that a 7.0 quake has hit Myanmar which borders Thailand. The quake was INLAND and the point of origin was deep below the Earth’s surface so the damage will be minimal. I just figured with the recent Japan Earthquake / Tsunami, when people here EARTHQUAKE they are immediately going to think the worst. Sources are saying that the quake was felt as far as Bangkok, where the buildings were actually swaying.

There has been no reports from Myanmar as far as the damage goes. Hopefully the damage from this Thailand earthquake is very minimal and nobody was injured. As more news develops we will be sure to fill you all in. Once again, a 7.0 earthquake has hit Myanmar, which borders Laos and Thailand.

An earth quake at thailand?

what happen with the world, Malaysia will be the next or not? i am worrying for it now.

Japan earthquake: New blast at Fukushima nuclear plant

Omg, another new blast again??

check the latest BBC News as below;

New blast at Fukushima nuclear plant

A satellite photo of the Fukushima Daiichi plant showed the damage done in earlier explosions

A quake-stricken nuclear plant in Japan has been hit by a third explosion in four days, amid fears of a meltdown.

The blast occurred at reactor 2 at the Fukushima Daiichi plant, which engineers had been trying to stabilise after two other reactors exploded.

One minister has said it is "highly likely" that the rods might melt. Radiation levels near the plant have risen.

The crisis was sparked by a 9.0-magnitude quake and tsunami on Friday.

Thousands of people are believed to have died, and millions are spending a fourth night without water, food, electricity or gas. More than 500,000 people have been left homeless.

Staff evacuation

There is no word on the cause of Tuesday's explosion, but initial indications suggest it is not on the same scale as the previous ones.

Staff working at reactor 2 have been evacuated.

On Monday, a hydrogen blast at the Fukushima Daiichi's reactor 3 injured 11 people and destroyed the building surrounding it. That explosion was felt 40km (25 miles) away and sent a huge column of smoke into the air.

It followed a blast at reactor 1 on Saturday.

All explosions have been preceded by cooling system breakdowns - although the Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco) said the blasts had not penetrated the thick containment walls shielding the reactor cores.

Engineers battled into the early hours of Tuesday to try to keep water levels up in order to cool the fuel rods at reactor 2, but on two occasions the rods have been fully exposed.

Long exposure can damage the rods and raise the risk of a meltdown.

Four of the five pumps used to administer cooling sea water were believed to have been damaged by the blast at reactor 3.

Higher radiation levels were recorded on Tuesday south of Fukushima, Kyodo news agency reported.

Nearly 185,000 people have been evacuated from a 20km (12 mile) exclusion zone around the plant.

Japan earthquake: Meltdown alert at Fukushima reactor

Latest news from, click==> BBC for detail and direct news;

A 20-km exclusion zone has been imposed around the plant

Technicians are battling to stabilise a third reactor at a quake-stricken Japanese nuclear plant, after it was rocked by a second blast in three days.

The Fukushima Daiichi plant's operators said they could not rule out a fuel rod meltdown, after a cooling system broke.

They are injecting seawater into reactor 2 after its fuel rods became almost fully exposed.

A cooling system breakdown preceded explosions at the plant's reactor 3 on Monday and reactor 1 on Saturday.

The latest hydrogen blast injured 11 people, one of them seriously, and sent a huge column of smoke billowing into the air.

The Tokyo Electric Power Company, which runs the plant, is playing down any health risk.

The utility says thick containment walls shielding the reactor cores have remained intact.

But the US said it had moved one of its aircraft carriers from the area after detecting low-level radiation 160km (100 miles) offshore.

Tens of thousands of people have been evacuated from a 20-km exclusion zone around the Fukushima Daiichi plant.

Experts say a disaster on the scale of Chernobyl in the 1980s is highly unlikely because the reactors are built to a much higher standard and have much more rigorous safety measures.

NOT TRUE: BBC News Flash Report: Japan government confirms radiation leak at Fukushima nuke plants

Original Source: http://www.bloggedphilippines.com/

Thanks lot to bloggedphilippines for detail report.


Since the news spread out about the possible meltdown of Japan's nuclear reactor in Fukushima due to the strong earthquake last Friday, there has been fictitious text/SMS messages circulating around the Philippines. The text message warns that the radiation from the problematic nuclear plant will reach the Philippines and other Asian countries today and everybody is advised to stay indoors for their safety especially when it rains. Here's one variation of that text message:

BBC FLASHNEWS: Japan government confirms radiation leak at Fukushima nuclear plants. Asia countries should take necessary precautions. If rain comes, remain indoors first 24hrs. Close doors & windows. Swab neclskin with betadine where thyroid area is, radiation hits thyroid first. Take extra precautions. Radiation may hit Phil at starting 4pm today. Pls send to your loved ones.


If you received a similar text message: DO NOT BELIEVE IT! DO NOT FORWARD IT! It's a false warning designed to spread unnecessary anxiety and confusion.





Here are the facts:

- Although there has been two explosions in the Fukushima nuclear plant and a possible meltdown might occur, there has been no radiation leak yet that can reach other countries. In fact, only those inside the 12 mile radius from the plant are susceptible to current partial radiation leakage.

See also the report from BBC:

- The Philippine Nuclear Research Institute (PNRI) issued a statement saying that radiation levels in the Philippine environment are all normal.

Here's the actual copy of their statement:

The DOST-PNRI routinely undertakes daily radioactivity monitoring in the environment. Based on DOST-PNRI monitoring, there has been no increase in the levels of radioactivity since the time of the Fukushima event.

A plume trajectory study from the Fukushima site by the World Meteorological Organization based in Melbourne, Australia showed that the plume from the site of the incident will not pass the Philippine territory as of March 14, 2011.

Pray for Japan

It is shocked us, when we read the news about Japan earthquake 8.9.

Twice Super Earthquake in two days?

it is crazy. cant imagine that, if this earthquake happen at Malaysia.

I guess, our leader will disappear for a while, then, they only will come out to do "SHOW" after their own family safe de.


Below is one of the Japanese msg on internet:

现在全东京电话都不能用，只有网络。所有人这时候都在走路回家，电车瘫痪。日本人只担心没食物。店长还很敬业的开店，怕大家没食物吃。只有超市关门，货物都倒了，无法营业。
** 几百人在广场避震完毕，整个过程，无一人抽烟。服务员在跑，拿来一切毯子，热水，饼干。所有男人帮助女人，跑回大楼为女人拿东西 ，接来电线放收音机。几个小时后，人散，地上没有一片垃圾。
** 地震後，日本三得利公司宣布所有販售機將免費供應飲料！日本的711和全家全部免费提供食品和饮水！渴了，自动贩卖机免费；饿了，便利店......免费；累了，大超市开放避难；寂寞了，公众电话免费；听不懂日语，电视台中文喊话教怎么避难。這就是國家形象，日本雖然受災，日本人卻給世人上了一課。


Omg, Japan giving the whole world a great lesson.

Their image: discipline, unite, and nationalist

I think, Our country, still a thousand year to learn from Japan.

no matter how, i just pray for Japan, all safe and come cross the bad.

Egypt power transfer not enough: Obama

WASHINGTON, DC:

US President Barack Obama Thursday warned Egypt’s President Hosni Mubarak had failed to lay out credible, concrete and irreversible change and said Cairo must spell out a clear path to democracy.

Obama issued a strongly-worded statement after a day of drama in Cairo in which hopes that Mubarak would step down were dashed, and replaced by fury as he only went as far as ceding some authority to Vice President Omar Suleiman.

“The Egyptian people have been told that there was a transition of authority, but it is not yet clear that this transition is immediate, meaningful or sufficient,” Obama said.

“Too many Egyptians remain unconvinced that the government is serious about a genuine transition to democracy, and it is the responsibility of the government to speak clearly to the Egyptian people and the world.

“The Egyptian government must put forward a credible, concrete and unequivocal path toward genuine democracy, and they have not yet seized that opportunity.”

Mubarak’s refusal to end his 30-year rule sparked fury among a huge crowd in the central Tahrir Square and sparked fears of a day of violence on Friday in Cairo.





CAIRO (Reuters) -

Egypt's powerful army stepped in on Friday to guarantee the lifting of 30-year-old emergency laws and free and fair elections in a bid to end a popular uprising as hundreds of thousands gathered in Cairo for a huge rally.
