Japan Prediction: Nuclear Holocaust, Tokyo Evacuated
March 19, 2011: Via NEWiS - Exclusive!!! Who predicted disaster in Japan
In the early 2000s, Russian blogger/engineer Artem Dragunov had a motorcycle accident and was in a coma for 2 days. After that he started having dreams about the future, writing them on his blog, and many of them have come true! On February 21, 2011 he predicted the recent earthquake in Japan.
And his future prediction for Japan is very dire:
And on March 11th, the day of the quake, he wrote the below comment on his blog Guest from the Future Dream 20022011:
"Let's count. Dreamed a dream the night of Feb. 21. Today 11. Three weeks shorter.
Just at that time dreamed of a lot of water and a couple of big fucking. 11 plus 21 - the beginning of May. HERE Remember - early May .."
Hopefully, this time he'll be wrong.

Japan's Earthquake Alarm System TV Broadcast
Here is a truly incredible video showing how Japan's ElarmS system worked:
"ElarmS, or Earthquake Alarm Systems, can provide warning of ground shaking during an earthquake. The objective is to rapidly detect the initiation of an earthquake, estimate the level of ground shaking to be expected, and issue a warning before significant ground shaking starts."

Cappie Pondexter Apologizes For Tasteless Japan Tweets
New York Liberty star Cappie Pondexter apologized yesterday for tweeting over the weekend that Japan was to blame for the devastation of last week's earthquake and tsunami on it's northern coast and then used a derogatory term to describe the Japanese people.
In another case of an athlete's poor timing and worse, poor taste, Pondexter tweeted: "What if God was tired of the way they treated their own people in there own country! Idk guys he makes no mistakes."
She continued the incriminating tweet: "U just never knw! They did pearl harbor so u can't expect anything less."
After thousands saw the post, Pondexter had an exchange with an resentful reader, and she used a derogatory word for the Japanese.
Since posting her twisted point-of-view, Pondexter was bombarded with criticism and stepped back from her tweet.
"I wanna apologize to anyone I may have hurt or offended during this tragic time," she tweeted on Monday. "I didn't realize that my words could be interpreted in the manner which they were. People that knw me would tell u 1st hand I'm a very spiritual person and believe that everything , even disasters happen 4 a reason and that God will shouldn't be questioned but this is a very sensitive subject at a very tragic time and I shouldn't have even given a reason for the choice of words I used."
Pondexter, who is playing in Russia, declined to comment further. Her agent, Boris Lelchitski, said the player's comments were taken out-of-context. "She is very sorry she hurt anyone," said Lelchitski.
The Liberty released a statement, "We have spoken to Cappie and the content of that conversation will remain internal. She made a mistake and quickly apologized for that mistake."
It seems unlikely that the team will discipline Pondexter.
This is just another case of an athlete putting their foot in their mouth or their quick fingers to 'SEND.' By now, public figures should know there are a few subjects which should never be trivialized including 9/11, the Holocaust or a natural disaster. What was she thinking?
Pondexter was a star at Rutgers right before Don Imus got suspended for his insensitive and derogatory remarks about the African-American members of that team on his radio show.
You think Pondexter would have remembered that incident and used better judgement. At least she won't lose her job...or her home.

Japan CNN TV Tsunami Warning
Here is the current Japan CNN TV Tsunami Warning:
NHK TV in Japan is now in multilingual emergency broadcast mode repeating updated information and warnings for everyone to evacuate the coastlines.
Japan sees first tsunami waves from Chile quake
February 28, 2010
Via CNN
(CNN) -- Tsunamis from the deadly 8.8-magnitude earthquake in Chile rippled across the Japanese coast Sunday, appearing to get taller with every wave.
The first one, a 4-inch wave, hit Minami Torishima, according to the Japanese meteorological agency. Minami Torishima is a small island in the Pacific Ocean.
A few more waves later, the tallest one yet at about 4 feet hit the Kuji Port in Hokkaido, the meteorological agency said.
Tens of thousands of residents evacuated Sunday morning from coastal Japan in anticipation of a possible tsunami after the earthquake. Authorities urged evacuees to stay away because a second and third round of waves could gain strength.
The northern part of the main island could be hit by a tsunami at least 9 feet high, according to the meteorological agency.
Sunday's alert was Japan's first major tsunami warning in more than 15 years, the agency reported. In 1960, a tsunami spawned by Chile's 1960 earthquake killed 140 people in Japan.
