CNN has aired stunning video of the tsunami that hit Japan overnight, showing a wave of water carrying ships–even burning buildings. The 8.9-magnitude earthquake hit northern Japan on Friday, triggering tsunamis and sending a massive body of water filled with debris hurtling onto land.

The New York Times has described the waves as “walls of water” that “whisked away houses and cars in northern Japan, where terrified residents fled the coast. Trains were shut down across central and northern Japan, including Tokyo, and air travel was severely disrupted. A ship carrying more than 100 people was swept away by the tsunami, Kyodo News reported. A fire broke out at the nuclear plant in Onagawa, but Japanese officials said it was extinguished.”

Watch it here, from CNN:

No one, repeat no one really cares what the NY Times has to say about this…they will slant it somehow, as they know all too well how to do.

The Obowmao Regime will be relieved the masses are focused on something other than their corrupt incompetence.

Yes, and then they’ll say it is yet ‘More Proof’ that we need to painfully raise taxes and painfully alter lifestyles in the name of ‘saving the planet.’ Whatever rock Gore is hiding under, he’ll pop out just long enough to tie this catastrophe to ‘climate change’ (nee, ‘Global Warming’).

Who’s “Ivan”? Around 1:00 the sight of a burning building being carried along by the tsunami almost makes him giddy. Hold it down, boy.

Yeah. And the Bush apologists will say it proves Bush was right in sending thousands of brave Americans to die in Iraq.
