You could use a proxy server to trick the PBS site into thinking you are located in the US.

Magnitude 7.4 earthquake hits off Japan coast
10 mins ago
TOKYO – Japan was rattled by a strong aftershock and tsunami warning Thursday night nearly a month after a devastating earthquake and tsunami flattened the northeastern coast.
The Japan meteorological agency issued a tsunami warning for a wave of up to 6 feet (two meters). The warning was issued for a coastal area already torn apart by last month's tsunami, which is believed to have killed some 25,000 people and has sparked an ongoing crisis at a nuclear power plant.
Officials say Thursday's aftershock was a 7.4-magnitude and hit 25 miles (40 kilometers) under the water and off the coast of Miyagi prefecture. The quake that preceded last month's tsunami was a 9.0-magnitude.
Buildings as far away as Tokyo shook for about a minute.
In Ichinoseki, inland from Japan's eastern coast, buildings shook violently, knocking items from shelves and toppling furniture, but there was no heavy damage to the buildings themselves. Immediately after the quake, all power was cut. The city went dark, but cars drove around normally and people assembled in the streets despite the late hour.
U.S. Geological Survey gave the preliminary magnitude as 7.4 and it struck off the eastern coast 60 miles (100 kilometers) from Sendai and 90 miles (140 kilometers) from Fukushima. It was about 215 miles (345 kilometers) from Tokyo.
The depth was 25 miles (40 kilometers). Shallower quakes tend to be more destructive.
Hundreds of aftershocks have shaken the northeast region devastated by the March 11 earthquake, but few have been stronger than 7.0.
A Pacific Tsunami Warning Center evaluation of the quake said an oceanwide tsunami was not expected.

Dayem, dood. Bad trip. :sweat:
^ Japan's getting pummeled. :sweat:
Not much damage reported from this one. Maybe the damage is already done.
I am hearing that one big crisis is in finding new homes for the displaced people. Japan's never been famous for surplus real estate. :mecry:

I heard that, too. It's not like there are 25 or so vacant large apartment buildings around....even dormitories. So sad for the people stuck in those makeshift shelters. :(
I thought I see on tv the pre-fab houses being built since week 2......i went "whoa!" That's fast
there is only canvas sheets and no such thing as pre-fab houses in Indonesia. China and Iran had to wait for months before one row of pre-fab houses get built. And worse, those houses feel like an oven during hot weather and cannot insulate against the cold during winter..
I feel so much more for those in Fukushima. They were told evacuation is temporary, now they can no longer return, they can't bury their loved ones, they lost their land, they can no longer farm their land. They lost everything. :shamefulcry:

Looks like my state, Georgia, is shipping a state-of-the-art pump to assist with Japan's nuclear plant's relief efforts. I think this pump is designed to help extricate large amounts of water. They even imported a Russian jet, one of the largest in the world, to carry this pump over to Japan. I was elated to hear this and glad that we could help in some way. :applaud: :woot: :dancing:

Antonov An-124. That jet is HUGE!

Actually it's the Antonov 225, the world's heaviest and largest jet, that's heading apprx. 7000 miles to Japan but you're still right, it's a beast! I'll add that the Putzmeister (concrete pump) coming from Savannah Georgia is among the largest in the world too.
