The crisis at Fukushima Daiichi is really scary stuff. Five critical reactors, three explosions, naval vessels picking up low level radiation hundreds of miles away. And things could get a lot worse if they don't restore power to the plant's cooling systems. It also concerns me that the Japanese government hasn't been more open and honest about what's going on. They seem to be trying to save face.

Japan is one of the richest countries in the world they don't need much charity. I wonder if that sort of thing happened over here would they donate to us?
That wasn't my point. The chart was to put in perspective in how much NCSoft is donating. Samsung, Korea's largest business conglomerate donated $1.22 million. Also, Nintendo donated about $3.7 million. NCSoft is just going balls out.
The protection for that plant is for up to a 7.0 quake. The quake that hit Japan was an 8.9, a supposed "1000 year event" and the waves reached 40ft. It may be time to build bigger...
