Yahudi Zionist Terus mencengkam GAZA dan Baitul Maqdis

Walaupun 99% negara didunia mengecam Israhell namun bangsa terkutuk ini akan terus merampas dan meluaskan cengkaman mereka. Baitul Maqdis antara 3 tempat paling suci bagi umat Islam akan terus dicengkam dan dijajah dengan lebih keras lagi. Selain tebing barat yang telah sekian lama dirampas, kini Israhell akan merampas pula tanah-tanah rakyat Palestin di tebing timur.

Setelah membunuh dan menghalau ribuan rakyat Palestine, perbuatan "ethnic cleansing" terus berlaku. Dunia memerhatikan tanpa boleh berbuat apa-apa. PBB telah tidak boleh diharapkan lagi.

Amerika terus menjadi tunggangan Israhell, tidak sedikit merasa simpati apa yang berlaku di GAZA. Amerika akan menjadi proksi Israhell  untuk menjadi imperialis baru abad ini. Cita2 zionist semakin tercapai....untuk menakluki dunia.

Teruskan memboikot produk yang ada kaitan dengan Israhell.

 

Oman: Israel seeks full control of the West Bank and Jerusalem.

Omani Minister of Foreign Affairs Yusuf Bin Alawi Bin Abdullah said yesterday that Israeli attempts to impose new realities on the ground will not bring it any stability.

In an interview with Quds News, Abdullah said Israel is "seeking to impose a new reality in the West Bank and Jerusalem", and that its current plan is to press ahead with settlement expansion and full control of the West Bank and Jerusalem.

Kuwait revokes citizenship of prominent Muslim cleric 

 

 The Kuwaiti cabinet decided on Monday to revoke the citizenship of a prominent Islamic cleric along with nine other Kuwaitis, citing "security reasons".

Al-Resalah newspaper reported that this decision was apparently taken over their public statement in solidarity with Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
In its weekly meeting led by Prime Minister Sabbah Khaled Al-Hamad Al-Sabbah, the cabinet decided to revoke the citizenship of Dr Nabil Al-Awadi based on article 13 of the Kuwaiti citizenship law.
In his first public response to the decision, Awadi, who is reportedly close to the Muslim Brotherhood, said via Twitter: "I will remain faithful to my country Kuwait... and loyal to his Highness my Prince... and loving and advising to the people of Kuwait, my family... and I pray for Allah to protect Kuwait and its people from all evil."

Jalan Kuala Pilah - Seremban Selalu Sesak

Laluan Kuala Pilah - Seremban ...Sesak!!

Laluan Kuala Pilah - Seremban menjadi ingaun dan kesesakan yang semakin teruk sejak akhir-akhir ini.Semenjak laluan Bukit Putus dinaik taraf kesesakan lalulintas terus meningkat setiap hari dan menjadi lebih teruk pada cuti umum dan hujung minggu. Setelah diamati untuk sekian lama, naik taraf laluan bengkang-bengkok Bukit Putus kepada jalan yang baru bukan memberi keselesaan kepada pengguna jalanraya tetapi kini menjadikan masa perjalanan kedua hala bertambah dari dulu sekitar 40 minit dari Seremban ke Kuala Pilah sekarang hampir 1 jam. Waktu puncak pada pagi hari sekitar jam 7.00 pagi hingga 9.00 pagi dan sebelah petang. Yang paling teruk pada hari Jumaat sebelah petang hingga ke malam untuk kedua-hala dan seterusnya pada hari Sabtu dan Ahad dimana kedua2 hala menjadi sesak.

Ini disebabkan berlakunya " bottle neck" disekitar laluan turun dan naik dari laluan baru Bukit Putus. 

Kesesakan dilaluan Kuala Pilah Seremban..Kawasan Melang.

Setelah laluan Bukit Putus yang baru dibina siap, peningkatan kenderaan yang mengunakan jalan Seremban - Kuala Pilah sangat ketara. Apa yang dapat dilihat, kenderaan berat mula mengunakan laluan ini bukan sahaja ke kawasan timur Negeri Sembilan tetapi banyak kenderaan menuju ke kawasan pantai timur. Malah ke utara/timur Johor, ke Pahang dan juga ke Trengganu dan Kelantan.

Penambahan bilangan kenderaan memilih laluan ini, terutama mereka yang dari kawasan Melaka, Johor Barat dan juga mereka yang tinggal di Lembah Kelang, memilih laluan ini.

 Kita berharap pihak yang berkenaan dapat menaik taraf laluan Seremban - Kuala Pilah sepenuhnya bukan setakat dikawasan Bukit Putus. Kami sering mendengar rungutan penduduk Kuala Pilah tentang kesesakan hampir saban hari dan masa.

 

Again - Port Dickson in The Dim Light!!

I could not help it, I concur with you absolutely!!
For the love of PD,  rather difficult for me not to pen a line or two with regards to the above issue. Just to relate how lackadaisical attitude and poor foresight makes PD as a tourist destination of last choice.
Almost over 20 years I have not been to areas  along the coastal area  toward the southern part of PD, places such as Pasir Panjang, Kuala Linggi and those small township on the Melaka side of the border. I drive from Alor Gajah to Masjid Tanah cut off to Kuala Linggi down the to coastal town of Pasir Panjang than finally to Port Dickson town proper. I was so surprise and how well developed those townships located in Melaka area, such as Alor Gajah, Masjid Tanah and Sg Baru. A well kept small townships  with many kampong  along the way, which are of great value for tourist product with good roads, pleasant scenery and full ambient of a true Malay kampung. But alas, as you cross over Kuala Linggi bridge, the landscape abruptly change. Now, in Negeri Sembilan  or exactly in the district of PD.

Sorry to say, how unkempt the places are!!!.. the road side table has not been maintained, maybe for quite sometime. I don't think they (MPPD) really wants to encourage the tourist to come to visit PD.  If PD residents are seeing red on the above issue, I would say they (MPPD) don't see any color at all.


Nothing new for those who love PD. Sometime I wonder why can't the local council or the state government emulate what others are doing. The just seem to miss the whole issue and never seem to value PD beaches. Please do something to ensure PD remains a premium holiday destination for most people residing in Klang valley. Port Dickson with so beautiful beaches running for miles,serene blue calm water and places of interest such as Tanjung Tuan. But yet the state government don't even have a proper blue print to exploit it potential.
Cleaning up and continuous maintenance should be an ongoing agenda here in PD. The state councilor in-charge of tourism should know his function well, or at least if he don't know what to do, get somebody who know how to go about in making PD a wonderful holiday destination. PD is just like pearl in the mud. Nobody seem to care....

Radiation spreading across oceans and continents

nuclear fukushimafukushima fukushima j

Despite all the desperate efforts by world governments to downplay the severity of the release of radioactive material from Fukushima, world radiation sensors are revealing the ugly truth about the Fukushima catastrophe that the nuclear industry doesn't want you to know: The radioactive fallout is now as much as 73 percent of the daily radiation emitted from Chernobyl following its meltdown disaster. That's the story on Iodine-131, the radioactive iodine isotope that's now spreading across the globe.

Similarly, the amount of caesium-137 being released by Fukushima has now reached 60 percent of at released by Chernobyl.

Radiation spreading across oceans and continents

This is the data from the global network of radiation sensors that were originally installed to monitor the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT). They were designed to detect illegal nuclear weapons testing events, but now they're proving to be quite effective at picking up the massive release of deadly radiation from the Fukushima nuclear power complex -- which is still burning, by the way.

The monitoring stations are located in Alaska, Hawaii, Montreal and other cities, indicating that the radiation fallout from Fukushima now spans oceans and continents.

Because Fukushima continues to leak radiation into the environment, its total radioactive output may yet exceed that of Chernobyl. There's certainly a lot more fuel at Fukushima than there ever was at Chernobyl: 1,760 tons of nuclear fuel versus just 180 tons at Chernobyl.

So Fukushima has ten times the amount of fresh and spent fuel as Chernobyl. And it's still spewing radiation every second. The food and water in Japan is already contaminated, the oceans are radioactive, the air is radioactive, neutron beams are jetting out of the nuclear facility, it's raining yellow water, workers are being hospitalized with radiation burns, and still the nuclear industry says stop worrying... it's all safe!

Fukushima quickly rising to the top of the list of the world's worst nuclear disasters

It only leads me to wonder: How much worse is this going to get? We were told just this week that the reactors had their power restored, that the crisis was over, remember? The mainstream media has already blown past this story and doesn't express much concern at all over the situation. Yet this Fukushima catastrophe is quickly moving into the top position as the world's worst nuclear power plant disaster -- even as the media plays it down!

Fukushima may yet out-Chernobyl Chernobyl!

So where does all this radiation end up? Well, according to the Japanese and American governments, it all just magically fades away and there's nothing at all to worry about. But NaturalNews readers know better: This radiation ends up in the food, in the water, and circulating throughout the environment. Where will this end? No one knows for sure. But if there's one thing we've all learned from watching Tokyo this past week, it's that the time to get prepared is right now!

ACTION ITEMS:

• Always have at least 10 - 20 gallons of extra fresh water stored in your house or apartment. No matter what! Tokyo residents just found out the hard way that depending on tap water is a risky gambit.

• Always have extra food available, just in case. Next week on NaturalNews, by the way, we will be announcing the launch of a new line of long-term storable superfoods and organic foods packed in #10 steel cans (using BPA-free bags inside the cans).

• If you don't yet have potassium iodide or a source of natural iodine, and you're in an area that could be hit by radiation fallout, it's a wise idea to have some just in case. The NaturalNews Store has potassium iodide back in stock today (as of this writing) and is shipping all orders containing *only* potassium iodide in 1-2 working days

 Our sympathy to people of the "land of the rising sun". The mega earthquake at 8.9 Richter Scale is the most disastrous in this new ,millennium. We are yet to know the post situation of earthquake and  the monster tsunami that hit Japan.I mean the aftermath, the exact death tolls,damages on billion over billion of Yen in value of properties and infrastructures destroyed just like that. I would rather call it "2nd Wake Up Call for Japan and to all nations of the world" NUCLEAR POWER IS DANGEROUS". 

SO WITH THOSE NATIONS WHO ARE AGAIN THE KYOTO PROTOCOL, time to ponder and re-think the kind of calamity to the human race. The magnitude of destruction from nuclear reactor failure which only supply the needs of normal daily consumption for household,Industry and others. Is it worth? Worst of if the nuclear reactor built for producing nuclear weapon to destroy others. Just imagine the Armageddon!!!

Malaysia is now looking forward into nuclear power for new energy source. Oh My God!! Do we really need that???

read here the outlook on nuclear energy and its perspective for Malaysia. 

 

Nuclear power – are we ready?

MOST of us will remember how nuclear power has always been associated with bandits in our favourite cartoon series. So powerful is that technology that they tend to use it as a threat to conquer the whole world.

In real life, the devastating effects of nuclear technology have been recorded in history when Japanese cities Hiroshima and Nagasaki were atom-bombed during World War II.

As dangerous as it is, however, this powerful technology has been the most sought-after solution for energy security in many countries, particularly those in Europe.

Thirty years after the accident at Three Mile Island shattered Americans’ trust in nuclear power, lawmakers were pushing for a nuclear energy rebirth as a safe, green way to wean the United States off foreign oil. No new reactors have been opened in the United States since the accident. – AFP

According to the International Atomic Energy Agency, the top 10 countries with the highest nuclear share of total electricity generation are all located in the European region. France, for instance, generates 76% of its electricity from nuclear.

The idea of having a nuclear power plant in Malaysia sounds great, isn’t it? The advantages of nuclear-generated electricity have been much touted.

The nuclear plant can generate a stable flow of electricity to users at low prices (rates are presumably cheaper than power generated from other sources such as coal and gas) and it does not emit carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

It also seems to be the answer to our concerns over the depletion of fossil fuel, which is currently the main source of electricity generation in Malaysia, and the volatile prices of raw materials such as coal and crude oil.

Presently, the major components of Malaysia’s electricity generation mix are natural gas (60%), coal (24%), hydro (8%) and biomass (4.2%).

Malaysia’s nuclear ambition is apparent when Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) announced over the week that it would sign an agreement with Korea Electric Power Corp next month to engage the latter’s assistance in conducting a preliminary study for developing a nuclear power plant in Malaysia.

TNB’s view is that nuclear-generated electricity is the most viable long-term option to address the growing demand for power in the country. Hence, its plan for the country’s first nuclear power plant to begin operations in 2025.

The head of TNB’s nuclear unit Mohd Zamzam Jaafar was quoted as saying that the state-owned utility company is currently scouting for suitable sites for the nuclear plant.

The question is ... do we really need to pursue nuclear energy?

There are many implications of having a nuclear power plant in the country. Of utmost concern is the safety issue, and whether we have the technological capability to deal with any unforeseen incidences that could arise from nuclear energy development.

Former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, in his blog, raised his concerns about the danger of pursuing nuclear energy and urged the authorities to give this option a second thought, citing we do not know enough about nuclear energy to be able to manage it well.

Risky pursuit

Like any other technology, nuclear power has its own risks and rewards, says Ravi Krishnaswamy, director of energy and power systems practice at Frost & Sullivan Asia-Pacific in Singapore.

In his e-mail to StarBizWeek, Ravi says he believes that the safety features of nuclear power plants have increased multi-fold over the last several decades, especially after some major nuclear power plants accidents such as the Three Miles Island in the US in the late 1970s and Chernobyl in Ukraine in 1986.

He cites the examples of countries in high seismic zones such as Japan and Taiwan that have successfully operated nuclear power plants for several years without major incidents.

To date, the nuclear share of total electricity generation in Japan and Taiwan is 25% and 20%, respectively.

However, Ravi points out some of the shortcomings that Malaysia faces in the pursuit of nuclear energy option.

These include the lack of trained human resources and capability in handling the technology, the risk of mishandling and theft of radioactive nuclear material, the problem with radioactive waste disposal and the health hazards that could arise from exposure to radioactive nuclear material such as cancer and birth defects.When it comes to nuclear energy, it takes just one accident to leave an adverse effect that could last for multiple generations, says an officer at the Centre for Environment, Technology and Development Malaysia (Cetdem).

Citing the case of the Chernobyl disaster, he says there are still ongoing health effects from the incident to this day.He also points out that the severe release of radioactivity not only affected people living in Ukraine, but also those living in other countries in Europe as the radioactive dust clouds were blown to the region.

Radioactive particles can be easily carried by water and wind. So, even if the nuclear power plant is located offshore, the radioactive effects can still reach people living on the mainland, and neighbouring countries, the officer at Cetdem says.

At what cost?

According to Frost & Sullivan’s Ravi, the viability of nuclear power cannot be seen only in the context of capital expenditure or potential dangers.

He explains that the viability of the initiative is normally evaluated in relation to the country’s energy mix, domestic resources availability, electricity demand growth, fluctuations in supply and cost of other fuels, and whether the country’s economic and industrial growth can justify the creation of an elaborate nuclear power infrastructure.

However, while most of the factors seem to support the development of a nuclear power plant in Malaysia in the long term, the Government still has to consider whether a nuclear initiative is justified in terms of the economies of scale, Ravi says.

“Countries like India and China have huge populations and limited domestic energy resources, hence could easily justify the development of an expensive and elaborate infrastructure for nuclear power ... and not just nuclear power generation plants, but also fuel and spent fuel processing, fuel mining and heavy water plants, among others,” he explains.

These countries, he adds, could potentially obtain at least a quarter of their electricity generation from nuclear and still have sufficient demand to build and replace nuclear reactors every 10 years. Not so for Malaysia. So, in terms of economies of scale, Ravi thinks having a nuclear power plant does not work in the favour of the country.

(The nuclear share of total electricity generation in India and China at present is 3% and 2%, respectively.)

Meanwhile, the officer at Cetdem says there are huge hidden costs involved in the development of nuclear power plants. These include costs of decommissioning, storage of spent fuel and handling of radioactive leakages, as well as the environmental cost.

“Vast amount of resources will have to be diverted towards the maintenance of nuclear power plants, and such costs could be expensive,” he says.

In terms of human resources, he believes there is a need to train a generation of nuclear scientists who know enough about dealing with nuclear waste and accidents.

He argues that nuclear is not a sustainable energy, as the sector requires the mining of uranium, which is a very polluting industry.

He adds that if there is a rush by countries to build nuclear energy, it could result in a sudden increase in demand for uranium, and hence the spike in the price of the commodity.

The debate on whether Malaysia should pursue its nuclear ambition is likely going to continue. But pundits say there are other renewable energy sources such as solar PV, biomass, wind and hydro systems that Malaysia could harness. And these, instead of attracting criticisms, will draw much support from many quarters.

Fukushima and waiting for the worst case scenario.

Nuclear Power Isn't Clean; It's Dangerous

Among the many departures from the truth by opponents of the Kyoto protocol, one of the most invidious is that nuclear power is “clean” and, therefore, the answer to global warming.

We heard this during the last round of talks in Bonn, and we can expect to hear more of the same as we move closer to the next round of Kyoto talks that are coming up in Marrakesh in October and November.

However, the cleanliness of nuclear power is nonsense. Not only does it contaminate the planet with long-lived radioactive waste, it significantly contributes to global warming.

While it is claimed that there is little or no fossil fuel used in producing nuclear power, the reality is that enormous quantities of fossil fuel are used to mine, mill and enrich the uranium needed to fuel a nuclear power plant, as well as to construct the enormous concrete reactor itself.

Indeed, a nuclear power plant must operate for 18 years before producing one net calorie of energy. (During the 1970s the United States deployed seven 1,000-megawatt coal-fired plants to enrich its uranium, and it is still using coal to enrich much of the world’s uranium.) So, to recoup the equivalent of the amount of fossil fuel used in preparation and construction before the first switch is thrown to initiate nuclear fission, the plant must operate for almost two decades.

But that is not the end of fossil fuel use because disassembling nuclear plants at the end of their 30- to 40-year operating life will require yet more vast quantities of energy. Taking apart, piece by radioactive piece, a nuclear reactor and its surrounding infrastructure is a massive operation: Imagine, for example, the amount of petrol, diesel, and electricity that would be used if the KLCC were to be dismantled. That’s the scale we’re talking about.

And that is not the end of fossil use because much will also be required for the final transport and long term storage of nuclear waste generated by every reactor.

From a medical perspective, nuclear waste threatens global health. The toxicity of many elements in this radioactive mess is long-lived.

Strontium 90, for example, is tasteless, odorless, and invisible and remains radioactive for 600 years. Concentrating in the food chain, it emulates the mineral calcium. Contaminated milk enters the body, where strontium 90 concentrates in bones and lactating breasts later to cause bone cancer, leukemia, and breast cancer. Babies and children are 10 to 20 times more susceptible to the carcinogenic effects of radiation than adults.

Plutonium, the most significant element in nuclear waste, is so carcinogenic that hypothetically half a kilo evenly distributed could cause cancer in everyone on Earth.

Lasting for half a million years, it enters the body through the lungs where it is known to cause cancer. It mimics iron in the body, migrating to bones, where it can induce bone cancer or leukemia, and to the liver, where it can cause primary liver cancer. It crosses the placenta into the embryo and, like the drug thalidomide, causes gross birth deformities.

Finally, plutonium has a predilection for the testicles, where it induces genetic mutations in the sperm of humans and other animals that are passed on from generation to generation.

Significantly, five kilos of plutonium is fuel for a nuclear weapon. Thus far, nuclear power has generated about 1,139 tons of plutonium.

So, nuclear power adds to global warming, increases the burden of radioactive materials in the eco-sphere and threatens to contribute to nuclear proliferation. No doubt the our government is keen to venture the possibility of acquiring new energy , but the sincerely we need to give a serious thought to it.

So with our Malaysian government intention on exploring new energy through nuclear powered should take a pause for we would rather have less and minimize usage rather than to risk life of the people in the country so with our new generation to come.

Enough of Chernobyl!!! 

TSUNAMI - HITS JAPAN

The aftershock and tsunami in Japan Northern island.

TSUNAMI - HITS JAPAN

A ferocious tsunami spawned by one of the largest earthquakes ever recorded slammed Japan's eastern coast Friday, killing at least 60 people as it swept away boats, cars and homes while widespread fires burned out of control. Tsunami warnings blanketed the entire Pacific, as far away as South America, Canada, Alaska and the entire U.S. West Coast.

 The aftershock!!

The magnitude 8.9 offshore quake unleashed a 23-foot (7-meter) tsunami and was followed by more than 50 aftershocks for hours, many of them of more than magnitude 6.0. (See a photo gallery of the Japan quake.)

Police said at least 60 people were killed and 56 were missing. The death toll was likely to continue climbing given the scale of the disaster.

Dozens of cities and villages along a 1,300-mile (2,100-kilometer) stretch of coastline were shaken by violent tremors that reached as far away as Tokyo, hundreds of miles (kilometers) from the epicenter. (See a photo gallery of the effects of the Asian Tsunami five years later.)

"The earthquake has caused major damage in broad areas in northern Japan," Prime Minister Naoto Kan said at a news conference.

The International Atomic Energy Agency said Japan had closed four nuclear power plants as a precaution. A state of emergency was declared at one of the plants after its cooling system had a mechanical failure. Trouble was reported at two other nuclear plants as well, but there was no radiation leak at any.

Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano said the emergency measure at the nuclear power plant in Fukushima was a precaution and that the facility was not in immediate danger.

 

Even for a country used to earthquakes, this one was of horrific proportions because of the tsunami that crashed ashore, swallowing everything in its path as it surged several miles (kilometers) inland before retreating. The apocalyptic images of surging water broadcast by Japanese TV networks resembled scenes from a Hollywood disaster movie.

Large fishing boats and other sea vessels rode high waves into the cities, slamming against overpasses or scraping under them and snapping power lines along the way. Upturned and partially submerged vehicles were seen bobbing in the water. Ships anchored in ports crashed against each other.

The highways to the worst-hit coastal areas were severely damaged and communications, including telephone lines, were snapped. Train services in northeastern Japan and in Tokyo, which normally serve 10 million people a day, were also suspended, leaving untold numbers stranded in stations or roaming the streets. Tokyo's Narita airport was closed indefinitely.

Jesse Johnson, a native of the U.S. state of Nevada, who lives in Chiba, north of Tokyo, was eating at a sushi restaurant with his wife when the quake hit.

"At first it didn't feel unusual, but then it went on and on. So I got myself and my wife under the table," he told The Associated Press. "I've lived in Japan for 10 years and I've never felt anything like this before. The aftershocks keep coming. It's gotten to the point where I don't know whether it's me shaking or an earthquake."

Waves of muddy waters flowed over farmland near the city of Sendai, carrying buildings, some on fire, inland as cars attempted to drive away. Sendai airport, north of Tokyo, was inundated with cars, trucks, buses and thick mud deposited over its runways. Fires spread through a section of the city, public broadcaster NHK reported.

More than 300 houses were washed away in Ofunato City alone. Television footage showed mangled debris, uprooted trees, upturned cars and shattered timber littering streets.

  

The tsunami roared over embankments, washing anything in its path inland before reversing directions and carrying the cars, homes and other debris out to sea. Flames shot from some of the houses, probably because of burst gas pipes.

"Our initial assessment indicates that there has already been enormous damage," Edano said. "We will make maximum relief effort based on that assessment."

He said the Defense Ministry was sending troops to the quake-hit region. A utility aircraft and several helicopters were on the way.

A large fire erupted at the Cosmo oil refinery in Ichihara city in Chiba prefecture and burned out of control with 100-foot (30 meter) -high flames whipping into the sky.

From northeastern Japan's Miyagi prefecture, NHK showed footage of a large ship being swept away and ramming directly into a breakwater in Kesennuma city.

 

  NHK said more than 4 million buildings were without power in Tokyo and its suburbs.

Also in Miyagi, a fire broke out in a turbine building of a nuclear power plant. Smoke was observed coming out of the building, which is separate from the plant's reactor, and the cause is under investigation, said Tohoku Electric Power Co. the company said.

A reactor area of a nearby plant was leaking water, the company said. But it was unclear if the leak was caused by tsunami water or something else. There were no reports of radioactive leaks at any of Japan's nuclear plants.

Jefferies International Limited, a global investment banking group, said it estimated overall losses to be about $10 billion.

  

 1000 of homes destroyed!!

   The U.S. Geological Survey said the 2:46 p.m. quake was a magnitude 8.9, the biggest earthquake to hit Japan since officials began keeping records in the late 1800s, and one of the biggest ever recorded in the world.

The quake struck at a depth of six miles (10 kilometers), about 80 miles (125 kilometers) off the eastern coast, the agency said. The area is 240 miles (380 kilometers) northeast of Tokyo.

A tsunami warning was extended to a number of Pacific, Southeast Asian and Latin American nations, including Japan, Russia, Indonesia, New Zealand and Chile. In the Philippines, authorities ordered an evacuation of coastal communities, but no unusual waves were reported.

Thousands of people fled their homes in Indonesia after officials warned of a tsunami up to 6 feet (2 meters) high. But waves of only 4 inches (10 centimeters) were measured. No big waves came to the Northern Mariana Islands, a U.S. territory, either.

The first waves were expected to hit Hawaii about 1400 GMT (9 a.m. EST) Friday, and could reach more than 6 feet (2 meters), the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said.

In downtown Tokyo, large buildings shook violently and workers poured into the street for safety. TV footage showed a large building on fire and bellowing smoke in the Odaiba district of Tokyo. The tremor bent the upper tip of the iconic Tokyo Tower, a 1,093-foot (333-meter) steel structure inspired by the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

 

   

Osamu Akiya, 46, was working in Tokyo at his office in a trading company when the quake hit.

It sent bookshelves and computers crashing to the floor, and cracks appeared in the walls.

"I've been through many earthquakes, but I've never felt anything like this," he said. "I don't know if we'll be able to get home tonight."

Footage on NHK from their Sendai office showed employees stumbling around and books and papers crashing from desks. It also showed a glass shelter at a bus stop in Tokyo completely smashed by the quake and a weeping woman nearby being comforted by another woman.

Several quakes had hit the same region in recent days, including a 7.3 magnitude one on Wednesday that caused no damage.
