And Japan does a better job than we do.
Japan doing a better job than us is questionable, and I don't say that based on this unforseeable event.

It's not unforseeable. Sorry, but it's on the ring of fire. An earthquake this large is a possibility. If it happens in the ocean, there will be a big Tsunami hitting coastlines. It took place in Indonesia in 2004. There is no reason it couldn't of taken place in 2011 in Japan (or many other areas.)

I'm sorry, but this is not like an asteroid hitting Japan. This (a 9.0 quake) happened in Asia in 2004. You may not see documentaries about the possibility of a 9 quake hitting where you live. I guarantee you that people living in Japan were aware it was very possible, and their nuclear plant was not as prepared as it should have been.

Well, if we go by their history of government hiding, I can only imagine ours.
