Is it Friday.
large impact economically ..yes.

they'll bounce back though .
Immediately there was talk that it will be good for Japan's economy ..
the massive recovery effort...the aid pouring in etc.

I think the lesson is ..............this level of disaster could happen in
many places ..
whether earthquake, volcano ( imagine if it was Mt.  Rainier that blew right
next to Tacoma Wa, instead of ST. Helens ) ....or tsunamis etc. .

and that nuclear power plants can get seriously and dangerously messed up.
