    I won't post them.

    I am not from the selfie generation... Look at me...

    Here I am enjoying.. Look at me...

    Here I am pretending to be happy look at me.

    There are plenty of videos and photos of the devastation.

    I saw foundations, where houses used to be. I saw survivors thanking me for caring. And all I did was cook and hand out bottled water.. Some ****ing help..

    One old woman grabbed me by my arm and told me how she saw her son, and grandson swept away by the tsunami.

    If I write a book, it will include some photos.

    The people of Sendai are tough, they are rebuilding. I would have folded.
    I would have left, found some solid earth. But, there is nothing solid..

    Nothing.

    no no not a pic of you but of what the place looks like when you got there.

      "But as soon as they get close to the reactors, the radiation destroys their wiring and renders them useless, causing long delays, Masuda said.

      Each robot has to be custom-built for each building. “It takes two years to develop a single-function robot,” Masuda said. "
      Such a terrible disaster.

          Its scary how it can happen here in the US.


          I was listening to Coast to Coast AM (not all of it is tin foil hat stuff) and we have a bunch of nuclear reactors on fault lines and if an earthquake happens there, we're fucked

              it's a different point of view from a person who really was there rather than google photos.

              i one day hope to be able to do that and help people like you did.

              i was supposed to do it here when Yolanda Typhoon hit a part of our country but our god damn government is ****ed and corrupt...... don't want to explain it just pisses me off.

                The Japanese gov is no different. Now there is so much corruption in rebuilding up there.

                  This is old news.

                  Robots never could enter.

                  I eat the radiation every day.

                    I'm as much at risk as the other 127 or so million people in Japan.

                    I guess I'll leave here soon, hope or the best, and hope the best.

                      When it hit, I was at my desk on the phone fighting with a guy in SG. It lasted a long time. I am from Cali, never felt anything that strong.
