> Somebody: Sure, but clearly if there are widespread issues with safety then placing their equipment in an area at risk of tsunami makes it that much more dangerous. I'm just trying to understand how people feel about what level of population density and industry is even acceptable in places like Miyagi and Fukushima. If it's not safe for emergency equipment, it's not safe for people to live there either, right?
It does seem a little strange, doesn't it? They've had equal or larger tsunamis just on the NE coast in 1896 and 1933, with a similar scale of disaster.
