I got word of the Japanese earthquake some days ago. I wasn't expecting production plants to stop (but that's what i SHOULD'VE expected.) Well, it's just a bit of info I wanted to share.....

It really was a big quake . But that big ?!?!?! I can't believe it forced Toyota , Nissan , Mistubishi and Fuji Industries to hault production .

Yeah, i remember seeing an earthquake hit Japan on the news. It was worse than i had expected since it caused damage to a major parts supplier forcing all these companies to stop production for a while. But i don't think this will affect them that much, they just have to get it repaired and back on track quickly.

Another earthquake, it's in Japan, I guess it's all expected. But eh it shouldn't really cause that much of a headache to them because it's just a minor stoppage to them, shouldn't really hault them in their shoes that much, they should be up and running sooner or later.

It's not a shocker that Japan recieved another earthquake. Since Japan is really near the fault line or even on top of both plates.

Yes, my thoughts exactly. It sounds strange.
