Toyota, Honda, Subaru And Nissan Factories Off Line Due To Record Quake

Companies including Sony Corp.  and Toyota Motor Corp.  halted output at plants after an 8.9- magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Japan, damaging production facilities and causing power outages.

Sony halted and evacuated six factories in northeastern Japan, said Yasuhiro Okada, a spokesman at the Tokyo-based company. He said the company was assessing the impact of power outages and damage to its facilities in the region, which make Blu-ray discs, magnetic heads and batteries.

This could happen anywhere. In Asia, America and even Europe. Don't laugh at people pain because this could've happen to us or some we know and love. I hope they get the help they need.

What did you expect from Turbo? He claims to be a follower of Jesus Christ always quoting things from the Bible, yet he says stuff like this. This is not what Jesus would do. Jesus was a compassionate person, non judgmental, and very giving. The exact opposite of Turbo.

Thankfully, my family friends back in Japan are ok.

Just read that some dolts on Twitter blamed this quake on global warming, by the way.
