This is the latest News and all the Updates on the 8.9 Magnitude that has hit Japan earlier Today. The Earth Quake registered 8.9 and was the 5th largest Earth Quake in recorded History. As of 5 pm Eastern time 184 souls were confirmed dead and over 700 still missing. Japanese Government officials said that the death toll will certainly rise. There have been reports of 200 to 300 bodies on the shore line near the Epicenter of the Killer Quake in the town of Sendai, Japan. Japan also had to shut down one of it's Nuclear reactors for safety concerns that the reactor was not being cooled and could cause a Melt Down if not addressed right away.
Lets all hope and pray that the people of Japan get everything they need to help them.
