Along with the victims.
The troops searching for remains are going to be going through hell on earth.

Surely it should be 14,300 humans and then 3,000 cows and 130,000 pigs? no this is not semantics...

Surely it should be 14,300 humans .........

With another 12000 or so missing, presumed dead.

But the nuclear plant, which hasn't been attributed to killing anyone, still leads the news.

Sensationalism by the press, feeding on peoples fears and ignorance.

Yes, I know about the humans, that's my horror - the starving pigs. Ask a farmer...
And the poor people who have to search through that.

they should ship the pigs to Afghanistan and use them to clear the minefields.

You're right there!

About 8,150
years ago, a huge submarine landslide
off the Norwegian coast produced a
major tsunami that inundated the coast
of northern Scotland. The tidal wave
travelled several kilometres inland, along
the lower reaches of coastal river valleys,
where it deposited a thin layer of sand
and broken sea shells. This layer can
be found by drilling down through the
estuarine deposits near Beauly. (SNH)

It makes you think on whether anywhere is safe.
