Japan Disaster! Hit By 9.0 Earthquake, Huge Tsunami, Nukes Meltdown
UPDATE 8/26: Japan's Prime Minister has resigned due to the fallout from the government's response to the tsunami and Fukushima nuclear meltdowns.
Japan was hit with an earthquake measuring 8.9, followed by huge, devastating tsunami of up to 7.3 meters (25 feet). The entire Pacific Rim is under a tsunami alert including Hawaii, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, Guam, Marianas, Russia, Indonesia, South America too! More than a dozen aftershocks have hit, many over 6.0.
The damage to Japan is extensive including a huge oil refinery which has blown up!
Warning now extended to Pacific West Coast of USA...
Absolutely AMAZING video footage available on CNN and other news stations.

Just googled Prof. Tony Hall and found out that he is a conspiracy theorist, a member of the 9/11 Truth movement. Doesn't seem to have any kind of technical background. Not sure why anyone should listen to him.

Hall is a professor of Globalization Studies at the University of Lethbridge in Alberta, Canada, and a member of the 9/11 Truth movement.[3][4] Prior to his position in Globalization Studies department, he was a professor in the Department of Native Studies.[5]
In 2001, Hall organized an academic conference on indigenous rights, coinciding with the 3rd Summit of the Americas in Quebec City. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police questioned him about his activities, which the Canadian Association of University Teachers called a violation of his academic freedom.[6]
Hall wrote a book called Earth into Property (McGill/Queens University Press, 2010) describing the disastrous effects of capitalism on indigenous peoples. A review in The Independent said the book "deserves a far wider readership than it's likely to get via a small Canadian publisher."[7]
