Vito Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Apparently, the CNN anchor was laughing and talking about Godzilla while watching the tsunami footage. I came in here to make this exact post as there has been lots of angry posts on Facebook and Twitter about it. You'd expect better from a mainstream news outlet with an international audience of millions. Â Twitter really proves its worth in situations like this, I've learned more about the real scale of the disaster by reading eyewitness accounts and photos than from the actual news reports.

Â This does seem like a stitch-up. For all the complaining about it, nobody seems to have seen it first hand. I'd like to think no anchorman at a major news outlet would be that tasteless. Feel free to disprove me with a Youtube clip if I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members FLips Posted March 11, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted March 11, 2011 Yeah it does seem like something so thoughtless that until there's actual footage of it, it's probably made up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Deaq Posted March 11, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted March 11, 2011 The pictures on Sky news are just unreal. It looks like something from a film. Fingers crossed they can sort out the nuclear reactor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verb Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 a magnitude 6.6 quake has hit central Japan, it's unknown whether it's connected to the first earthquake and it's aftershocks...Japan is fucked right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matbro1984 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I've been watching the news for the last 12 hours. Doesn't matter how often they trot out the same scenes with the wall of water, or the cars and houses being swept away, or the towering flames, or the scared-shitless office workers, you find yourself glued in a morbid way. It really feels the same at 9/11 in that you watch the latest developments unfold, feeling equal parts helpless, voyeuristic and horrified. So far the expected tsunami toll in other parts of the world seems to have been exaggerated which is some comfort. Time to switch off and hope that the expected human cost in this catastrophe somehow, miraculously turns out to have been overstated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awards Moderator Frankie Crisp Posted March 11, 2011 Awards Moderator Share Posted March 11, 2011 Jesus Christ. I'm only just getting in and seeing images from throughout the Day. The footage of a wave of water carrying vehicles, buildings, debris and trawlers inland whilst on fire is just sickening. My friend in Chile has just said they've been told they're due to get hit at around 00:20 their time, but it looks like the waves should have reduced in size. She's fucking petrified though.
