A major disaster for human life but just a day in the life of planet earth. Enormous power with enormous consequences. Suffering beyond words for some and reminds us of how very lucky most of us are in this neck of the woods.

So true

It really is a horrible sight watching those videos on the news. Very very scary. Those poor people.
It almost seems unreal. Like it's just a clip from a movie

Really ?, though he went on about a comet in 2012 ?

Most of his predictions are cryptic and its the way they are interpreted that results in all these wild predictions.  However he did say that natural disasters would increase though 2010, 2011 and there would be an uprising in the middle east in 2011 in the countries surrounding Mesopotamia (iraq)
 
The mayan calender ends in 2012, where once every 25800 years  the planets and sun of our solar systems align with the centre of the milky way galaxy i believe.  Its the 'winter Solstice day' on 21st Dec 2012.  

Alot of people believe there will be cataclysmic events at this point.  This is because the moon will at its closest point to the earth whilst the gravitational effects of the sun and milky way will be at their peak.

People and many scientists believe the moons gravitational pull is responsible for earth quakes etc due to its gravitational pull.  For instance at the moment the moon is extremely close to the earth compared to normal. with today being its closest for a very long time, and we have just had this huge earth quake and tsunami.

 Statisticians have found that when the moons orbit is inclined around the southern hemisphere there are more frequent earth quakes than when the moon is orbiting the northern hemisphere, and vice versa.

However you cant ignore the fact that Japan is also on the edge of 3 Teutonic plates (the Eurasian, Pacific and Philippine plates) and that geological shifts in the earths crusts cause earth quakes, volcanoes etc.

I'm a geek and love all this stuff :ashamed:

i don't really believe anything.  ultimately the Mayan Calender begins and ends at the alignment of the galaxy, so whilst it may end in 2012, people are speculating but have no idea what will happen.  Ultimately the Mayan Calender just restarts at  day 1,1year

Some horrific footage, and zero warning for the locals of the impendinig Tsunami.  They would have been fully aware of the earth quake, but the initial speed of the tsunami and with it only being 85miles out @ sea there would have been little time to get to high ground.  I suspect there is going to be an horrifically high fatality rate. 

My 2 sisters and father are  in new south wales, in australia, that are on alert for potential threat of tsunami.  although when it hit Hawaii the swell was only around 2meters so hopefully it will have dissipated by the time it hits australia. they are still not recovered from the floods
