- godelski 6y agoAn earthquake that was one of the largest ever recorded and resulting in one of the largest tsunamis ever as well. So you know, pretty common circumstances.
- varjag 6y agoThat the '1000 year tsunami' happened 40 years after commissioning is more suggestive of engineering incompetence than bad luck. And unlike bad luck, incompetence is a lot more prevalent.
