A witness, Suneel, was driving through the city of port city of Nagato, about 250 kilometres from Sendai, when the massive earthquake struck.SUNEEL: When it first happened, you know, obviously we didn’t know, I didn’t know and it wasn’t until the last few hours that the scale, when people started seeing this just unbelievable footage of tsunamis just rolling in over landscape on the Pacific side. GERARD FRYER: Hawaii was pretty severely hammered by waves. In one area alone in Sendai, between 200 and 300 bodies were found.In the centre of Tokyo many people have spent the night in their offices, others chose to walk home if they could get there. ELIZABETH JACKSON: A devastating tsunami triggered by the biggest earthquake on record in Japan has killed at least 350 people, but it’s feared the final death toll will be much higher. The town of Kahului on Maui for example, there were waves almost three metres high came in, flooded a hotel and swept inland a third of a mile. A fire at a turbine plant building of the Onagawa nuclear plant in Miyagi has been brought under control. There is absolutely no question that if we had not issued a warning for Hawaii, then people would have died.ELIZABETH JACKSON: That’s Gerard Fryer from the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Hawaii ending that report from Paula Kruger. Authorities there ordered everyone to clear the beaches. All the nation’s nuclear power plants were automatically shut down yesterday when the earthquake struck.The Japanese prime minister Naoto Kan says disaster operations are underway.NAOTO KAN (translated): We have created an office to deal with the disaster, maintain the safety of everyone and we’ll look to reduce the amount of damage to the smallest possible amount.PAULA KRUGER: There were initially concerns the tsunami could sweep through the Pacific.Gerard Fryer is from the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Hawaii. Just, I think what, the scale of the disaster, and I think it’s really just going to start the turn very quickly, just into a kind of a mourning situation. So I held the leg of that desk and I was thinking, finally that this quake is hitting Tokyo. Fire has also engulfed a large waterfront area in Kesennuma city in the Miyagi prefecture. The scale of the destruction will only become clear at first light this morning.According to scientists, the quake was the fifth-largest in the world since 1900 and nearly 8,000 times stronger than the one which devastated Christchurch, last month.Saturday AM’s Paula Kruger prepared this report.PAULA KRUGER: There are still only snippets of information coming through on what was left behind by the wave of destruction that swept through Sendai. Maybe the likes of which the country probably hasn’t seen since Kobe.PAULA KRUGER: Aftershocks have continued throughout the night. We’ve been talking about this for years and I thought this is the day that it finally came. And I live on the 36th floor so the shaking appears pretty violent.PAULA KRUGER: Tee-air Kobiyashi was in her 8th floor apartment in the centre of Tokyo when the main earthquake struck.TEE-AIR KOBIYASHI: I went under the desk, that’s what we are told when an earthquake happens, we should go under the desk to protect ourselves from it.I did, and still the desk, the whole desk was shaking. A dam has burst, a train derailed and another is missing.A state of emergency has been declared at a nuclear power plant, where pressure has exceeded normal levels. Alexander, a lawyer working in Tokyo, is speaking here from his apartment.ALEXANDER: Actually, as we’re speaking right now, there is an aftershock that is happening. Amidst a series of aftershocks, earlier this morning there was another strong quake of 6.6-magnitude in Japan’s mountainous Niigata prefecture in the west of the main Honshu island.In the north-east, Japan’s army has been deployed, and the Japanese Government has asked the US military based in the country for help. The quake measured 8.9 and the tsunami that reached the land was 10 metres high in some places.Cars, ships and buildings were swept away by a wall of black water after the quake struck north-east of Tokyo. There is scattered reports now of damage from all around the islands. Reports coming from police on the ground at a beachside suburb there say between 200 and 300 bodies have been found.So far the number of fatalities is at 350, 500 people are missing but Japanese media is predicting that gruesome figure could rise to above 1000. We have a restaurant severely damaged by boats. It really felt like a long time, I was kind of praying, please, stop now, please stop now, but it went for me, I felt like it lasted for 10 minutes or something. My building is shaking again and it’s actually quite scary because this has been happening for probably every 10, 15 minutes. I’m sure it was much, much shorter.PAULA KRUGER: In Sendai there are also reports of a major explosion at a petrochemical complex. That’s when it started to hit people.

Ronald McDonald is already enough fear. Taste.Also certainly very bad, I know how McDonald's to promote the image of healthy animals and traditional agricultural and natural healthy food friendly, but we all know that is a lot of waste. I'm not there for me, is how to enter the third circle of hell. They produce low-cost, intensive large-scale food with refined taste in a laboratory, used by a teenager with painful smiles that seem die.Everyone know anyone thinks otherwise, and people are going to eat fast and cheap, or because children are tormented by the happy meals. They can not do worse.
