Bangladeshi Cyclones exceeded 100,000.

I dunno, I guess it might be because Japan's usually prepared for earthquakes but it was a tsunami
& their nuclear stuff is really unstable. But Bangladesh is low lying and regularly get floods & cyclones.

There have been so many recent disasters - Bangladesh Cyclones, Mexico Floods, Indonesian Mud Volcano, North Korea Floods, etc - that had far more casualties than Japan, yet the media keeps stressing as if this disaster is more important than any other. Prominent celebrities are even holding concerts to raise money for the victims. This is totally fine and the Japanese disaster is tragic but why is Japan so important?

They all sound like ice hockey teams. And also, it's because Japan's not the sort of country you expect to get swept away in that sort of thing because of its developed infrastructure.

[aeterno]

Why is your opinion so special?

[F_shakeey]

Because its the most recent disaster and they have a more extensive coverage over it due to the fact that it is much more developed so much more images and video was captured. Also the after effects of it will impact upon the whole world.

It's the worlds 3rd biggest economy so any stagnation to them affects us because we share so much common goods, like cars, electronics, even your anime will be delayed the west and Japan trade goods and services and with this clean up happening there's not gonna be any trade or business running to their most efficient. Not that Japan is special or anything but because IT effect us the most in this disaster.

Yes, because the world revolves around your beliefs

It is a fact though, not a belief. I consider Japan superior to other Western nations though, because they are proud enough not to buy into this self-destructive multi-kult nonsense, which will be the end of us.

[The Cornerstone]

Because the disaster completely destroyed a lot of parts of Japan?


Maybe I have to agree that it's because it is a first world country, I mean it's not like we had a lot of coverage from disasters in third world countries like Hai...Oh wait..

This thread just reminded me to visit sickipedia to see what informed opinions are held on the earthquake by our informed population.

Make up your mind
Hey?

[LaughingBro]

They are the world's 3rd biggest economy so of course they are important.

[street.lovin']

The media probably go for the one that happen at a very very large scale...

Anyway, Haiti also get a lot of coverage... :P

Lol.. that's nothing, I think you want to scroll down a bit.

[Lily Academia]

Because it was a huge shock; Japan was meant to be one of the best equipped for an earthquake, and yet it's resulted in over 1,300 dead and a predicted 10,000 missing. It's an awful thing that's happened... I don't think that your choice of title is very tactful to be honest.

because japan is a major economic country, and if they "go down", we here in the west go down....

and also we rely on them for lots of things

And let's face it, firstly would North Korea want anyone's help? Also on the economy front I suspect that North Korea's economy wouldn't affect anyone else's greatly.
Like Infernalcradle said... Tokyo is an economic hub.
