Japan is a pioneer in both nuclear power plants and earthquake safety. The fact that everything was pretty much still standing after THE WORLD’S 7TH LARGEST EARTHQUAKE IN RECORDED HISTORY is testament to how well these things are engineered.

Yes people, there’s damage, but keep in mind the context: 8.9 earthquake! You might as well have had an asteroid strike.

In context? In context, a 8.9 point earthquake is NOTHING like an asteroid hit. Hyperbole. Get real.
