I don't think I've ever heard or read about an earthquake that powerful in my lifetime. 8.9 is almost unfathomable.
I feel really sad for all the children of the world that have to live through all the frightening happenings in the world the past few years. They are all growing up in fear, perhaps more than any other generation due to our advanced media.
Recessions
Foreclosures
Wars
Uprisings
Unemployment

Haiti
Indonesia tsunami
They must see the fear & stress their parents carry with them daily and that's sad. But maybe each generation is the same and it's just my perception that things seem worse than ever.

From 1962-72
Cuban Missile crisis
Vietnam and anti-war movement
Riots in US cities
Assassinations, JFK,RFK, MLK
Watergate
Student unrest in 1968 worldwide
Czech uprising....
Picture the poor kids growing up in 1935-45..
Great Depression
World War 2.........
Every generation has things they have to deal with but you're right, the mass instant media makes it seem different now.
From early reports the Tsunami Warnings helped, but not sure what anyone can do against these tremendous forces of nature..
If you've ever seen a storm surge/tsunami, it is truly amazing to see the damage they can do. I was in Gulfport and Biloxi,MS after Katrina the wall of water took down cinder block buildings like they were Styrofoam and bent steel frames.

I added one important one you left out...you're probably right.

Well, I was wrong .... for a day, anyway... The Dow is up slightly today, while oil fell a bit. Presumably because Japan's demand won't be very healthy for a while.
But, for a country teetering on insolvency, this seems devastating for their longer term recovery.
Why would a bunch of dummies live on a fault line?
anyway, I'm off to head home to San Fran via the bay bridge in about 45 minutes....
In all seriousness.....an 8.9 is downright evil. Something like that out in Cali, LA to San Fran would pretty much destroy millions of lives. Mrs Diver is 1/2 Japanese, and I have some coworkers in Tokyo right now, everyone is okay, but that doesnt stop this from sucking. Thoughts and prayers go out to the people of Japan.
