    Japan does have the best earthquake technology... They have been preparing for the past 100 years.

    Speaking of normal technology it is not just Japan that is ahead. It's all of developed asia. I am from Korea myself... If you don't believe me just come here. You guys are pretty much 5 years behind us in many types of technology. For example try the internet here and see what you think.... We have the fastest in the world.

  • if it happens in japan it will happen anywhere....japan has the highest standard and strictest rules in the world, and the best technology

see all

  • @2two1one0zero There are two nuclear power plants in California that are directly above a fault and +30yrs old. Learn Geology. Japan is the MOST technologically advanced nation in the world (second to the US). If it happens to them, it WILL happen to us.

  • @muma0449

    Um, no. :/

  • @CessiCB SUB?(:

  • @muma0449

    Is nothing but BS. Nothing big is going to happen.

  • @dAbaPEsTA123 no it won't. learn geology

  • American reactors have hydrogen burners in the ceiling. Hydrogen is automatically burned up and it is never allowed to pool in huge concentrations capable of blowing the plant up like the Japanese plants. The fact that the Japanese lacked these simple devices is just criminally stupid.

  • @MrConsumerWhore1 best tech untill now

  • cbs knows that people are looking up all these videos on japan and the tsunami, along with the nuclear powerplant; that's why there's so much advertisements. they're in it for the buck$
