Hell it almost looks the same here..NJ is nothing but a pile of trash too!
Looking at these and other countless images, i just can't wrap my head around the devastation. This place will never be the same and rebuilding seems like it will take a century and gazillions $$$.
Forget about if another earthquake hits, not to mention the reactor meltdown, which they have not acted upon fast enough. The radiation damage is already at biblical levels, don't believe its not!!!
I hope the powers of the universe send some good to Japan!
Sadly, it is more appropriate in Japan than here.
Our liberties (what we have left) are constantly under attack from our government.
Not just this administration, but for 50 years of administrations.
This is kind of disgusting. Is this front page news worthy considering the tragedy over there? Sad.
i have to agree, what is this image supposed to convey? that freedom and liberty prevail in the face of utter devastation? tell that to the kid who keeps writing letters to his missing family. its a statue. big effin' deal...
Maybe it's an April Fools Hoax?
Google made a ridiculous video about a new way of writing emails called "Gmail Motion". Maybe this was an attempt at a joke. However, it is slightly morbid.
Ah the whore of Babylon, happy Ishtar.
Wow. This is one of the most disgusting news stories I've ever seen. As an American, I apologize to the world for this bit of jingoistic arrogance.
The Japanese people will rebuild faster than you can imagine.
