If I was in japan, I would be paranoid and I would want to get out of there as soon as I could, before the radiation affects my health. But, I would know that the scientists are getting closer and closer to understanding earthquakes.

If I was in Japan, I would be devastaed and ruined, because everything I would have had was there, and I watched all get smashed away and washed away. I would be very worried and sad because I wouldnt know it any of my friends or family was still alive and made it through the destruction. I have never experienced an earthquake before, or a tsunami, so if I was in Japan, I would be very scared because it would be my first experience, and it was a terrible experience at a 9.0 earthquake and over a 30 foot tsunami. I want to help the Japaniese the best I can, because I know that a tsunami wouldnt happen here, but maybe an earthquake.

If i was in Japan I would be freaking out. I mean to have to go through a 9.0 earth quake and then a 30 foot sumani that washed away and destroyed everything you owened. Also then the nuclear plants being destroyed. It would suck to be there.

If I was in Japan I would be scared for my life. I wouldn't want to be there when a 9.0 magnatude earthquake just hit where I live and then get washed away by a sunami. I think it would be very scary.

Wall, Alexandra said...

If I was in Japan right now I would be extremely scared. The whole story of the earthquake and then the tsunami is very frightening and eye opening. I would probably be evacuating Japan, at least for now until it is safer there and I could walk out side without being paranoid. I would also be very scared because I wouldn't know if my friends were ok or if my family was still alive. The earthquake would be my first bad earthquake so I wouldn't really know what to do or how to react. I want to help the Janinese however I can and I would like to follow up on what happens throughout the week and how they eventually solve this terrible diaster.

well if i was in japan i would probably freak out and and want to leave but what the thing you should not do is try to leave the highways are going to be crammed together and you wont get any were so you would probably just stay in your house why leave if you know there going to the be traffic out there but if you have to leave then i gess you should.

If i were in Japan i would be upset. Alot of peoples things are ruined and everything would seem to get worse.I would also be scared for friends and family that could have been injured. I am upset to here that a tsunami also hit killing others and most likely creating global warming cause radition got out. I am sad to here this and i hope things continue to get better and not worse.

If a 9.0 on the Richter scale happened to me while I was in Japan, I would be very surprised. I know that Japan had a lot of earthquakes but a 9.0? THat is very surprising. I know that plates move due to magma flow inside the core. But we cannot sipon off the magma, the hose would melt, and if the core cools and the core stops moving, bye-bye Earth. The core keeps the planet together, other wise we would all be floation in orbit in different locations. I just wish that there was something we could do about the Radiation. By now half of Japan is radioactive.

if i was in japan, i would feel really scared and worried right now. not just for me, but for my family, friends, and well everyone. its just a terrible that has happened there, and i wish everyone there the best. i hope everyone gets through it okay. but i dont think i'd stay very calm there like most people should, and are. i'd get really upset that my town/home was being destroyed like that. i wouldn't be able to go along with it very well. i would also want to be evacuated out of there as soon as possible with my family and everything we owned to secure our safety. the only problem with that would be, that i wouldnt be there to see the damage on my home and everything. but overall i think its just awful whats happened and i hope that everything works itself out!

If i was in japan i would stay and see how bad the damage was and if it was really bad then i would leave,but then again there is radiation that could mess up your health

anonymous said...

I would feel devistated of I were in Japan, if all my memories and belongings were destroyed? That's crazy, I wouldn't ever be the same, I would be depressed. With a 9.0 earthquake and more than a 30 ft. tsunami, that would be a nightmare. I can't even imagine how they feel right now. Obviously I've never been in an earthquake or a tsunami so I don't have any idea but it's horrible that this is happening to them.

Let's just take a moment and act like we live in Japan. Let's try to feel what they are feeling and experiencing right now. If I lived in Japan, I would be so devastated that I would probably immigrate to the United States. But if I had radiation poisoning,I would stay where I was so I wouldn't put other countries at risk. I would move my family to a different area in Japan so they would be safe. I would definitely put my family first and then me.

If I were in Japan I would be terrified. I would want to leave immeadiatly. I wouldn't want to see the damage to my country. I would be afraid of being hurt or losing my family. If I did get hurt, there would be no one around to help me because everyone else would be too busy running for their lives. All the doctors would have to be sent from other countries and the same goes for food and other life saving materials.

Fairbanks,Joey said...

I would hate to be in Japan because the tsunami and the earthquake have killed thousands of people already. Plus all of the diseases are spreading throughout Japan.

freel,amanda said...

If I were in Japan and I didn't know this was coming I would be scared. Also, if I was in Japan right now and I knew that this was going to happen then I would have moved a long time ago.

Sara said...

I would be very afraid and nervous becasue if i was in the position they are with many lives lost, homes destroyed, lifes changing dramaticly and all of the necular poisoning that is happening right now it would be so frighting and life changing.

If i lived in Japan i would try to leave imedeiatly to a different country.because of the radiation and i would have no where to live because my house would be destroyed .

Kylie Hayes said...

If i was in Japan I would be very scared and paranoid of something else devastating happening, I would be very cautious of any of the nuclear plantations that are being destroyed. I would be freaking out if I couldnt find one of my family memebers or friends. I think if anything the worst is behind Japan but than again anything could happen. I feel bad for anyone caught in the storms. Between the 30 ft. tsunami and the 9.0 earthquake, plus the nuclear plantations are melting down exposing all the toxic chemicals into the air and water, Japan has had the worst luck. We all need to focas on how to help them in there bad times.

anonymous said...

I agree with sydney, if I was in Japan with all this radiation, earthquakes, and sunamis I would be paranoid and I would also want to get out of there as soon as possible.

I dont even know what to say! I dont know exactly what I would feel! I would probably feel like i am in a dream. It would not feel real for me. I would be wondering if I would ever get found by someone or ever see my family again. I would wonder where my family was; what happened to them all. I would never live the same life again.

Day,Tyler said...

I think that is crazy that Japan had an 8.9 that is the 5th strongest earthquake between 1900-2011.

Giblin, Keegan said...

I would feel scared, worried, almost any negitive feeling. I would be thinking "Why did this happen to me?" "What have I done to deserve this?" I would also want my normal life back.

Buis,Dylan said...

I am upset to here that a tsunami also hit killing others and most likely creating global warming cause radition got out. I am freaking out because what if that radition gets to us.

imushrush said...

If i was in Japan i would worry about me and my family. Aspecially my baby sister. Scince she would be exposed to raddiation easiear. I would also be mad about haveing nuculear powerplants on such a small island. I would want things to goback to normal and hope people would find safer places for nuculear waste like abandoned islands.

anonymous said...

That would be very scary with an 8.9 earthquake the second strongest earthquake just all of a sudden ruing your home town then 30 mins. later a tsunami came 13 feet tall and killed everbody i would hate to have been there when that happend.

If I were in Japan I would be crying myself to sleep every night knowing I could die or people in my family could die, I would not want to live there and find a way out of Japan as soon as I can. I would pray every night. Japan right now is not like before, when you go outside its very quiet and the condition is horrible.

Bettner,Aaron said...

I would feel scared because of the radiation. Radiation can cause cancer and it is really bad. I would also be scared of aftershocks. Even your home could be destroyed and you could have no food or water.

anonymous said...

IF lived in japan id be going to the airport and going somewhere else in the world cause id be freakin out about after shocks and the powerplants radiation getting on me i would hate it.

Kamilah Williams said...

If i were in Japan knowing that their would be an earthquake i would leave like any other normal human being.
But if i didnt know that their would be an earthquake then thats a different story. Make sure my family is okay. Then i may want my want to find shelter and get what i need that is important like clothes, cell phones, and food

noah hartman said...

i would be scared out of my mind if i was in japan during the earth quake. i heard it moved the island of japan 8 feet. But i would be scared for my family more than myself.

Dorrington, Madison said...

If I was in Japan during the earthquake I wouldn't really think about it because Japan has SO many earthquakes. But then when it got up too much I think I would just want to get out of the place where I am. I wouldn't think about anything else except finding my family. I can't even imagine how everyone reacted and how they are right now. And then have Tsunami follow after would just devistate me if I even survived. The people who survives are very fortunate.

If I was in Japan I would be extremely upset. I would be sad and worried knowing that I may not have some family members or friends anymore due to all of the destruction. The thing that would upset me the most would probably be standing outside watching my home get torn aoaart and washed away and not have anything i used to have. I'm lucky tha nothing like that has ever happened here in my lifetime.
