Jozinobi Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Dear UKSCAs you know here @ UKSC we are all a genuine bunch of individuals and as such we as a club have decided to help the effort in aiding the Tsunami and Earthquake victims of Japan by putting together one large donation from the site, the paypal address is uksc_fundraising@yahoo.co.uk, this is a no charge account within Paypal and will keep everything above board.This custom donation button has also been created to make it easier to access and make donations and can also be found at the top of the uksc site page.We ask that you please include your username when making a donation as we are in the middle of putting together a mystery JDM goodie bag that will be given to one individual drawn at random from all PayPal donaters which will certainly not disappoint. All group donations such as from fund raising events will also be very welcome and it is still possible to put a group name in the draw if you wish to do so.We need to act NOW as a group, once the monies are in place it will be decided which charitable organisations be it the Save the Children, Japanese Red Cross etc that the monies goes to. Of course UKSC being the community as it is, we will post up a poll very shortly so that members can choose out of a selection of credible non-profit organisations that the donation fund will go directly to the effort in Japan at the end of April. Everyone is a winner in this instance.Throughout the year we will be collecting at ALL major meets with a bucket and this will be added to the fund so please dig deep for this appeal.We will endeavor to continually up date on any progress made for this appeal.YOUR SUPPORT IS NEEDED ON THIS MATTER NOWHere are the candidates for our donation campaign who are based in the UK, US and Japan itself.Red Cross AppealJapanese Red Cross SocietyNon Profit Paypal Global GivingReal Time Information/History & Links of InterestGoogle Crisis ResponseInteractive GuideRememberance PhotosPossible VolunteeringPlease contact myself or John (ro55fumi) our official uksc fundraiser if we can be of any assistance.More detailed information such as timelines, daily updates on the situation and other info will be posted here very shortly so that you may be better informed.Thank YouJoz & The UKSC Team Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jozinobi Posted April 17, 2011 Author Share Posted April 17, 2011 April 24th 10pm - Discovery & Discovery HDMegaQuake - Hour That Shook JapanPOIGNANT SURVIVOR TESTIMONIES AND SCIENTIFIC DATA CHRONICLEJAPANESE EARTHQUAKE AND TSUNAMI IN NEW DISCOVERY SPECIAL– MEGAQUAKE: HOUR THAT SHOOK JAPAN, Featuring Exclusive Video and Interviews, Premieres on Discovery April 24 at 10PM e/p –(Silver Spring, Md.) – Discovery Channel’s new one-hour special MEGAQUAKE: HOUR THAT SHOOK JAPAN will tell, through the eyes of those who lived it, the story of the moment the 9.0 magnitude earthquake struck northeast Japan on March 11, 2011 and the tsunami that followed, resulting in more than 12,000 deaths. Poignant testimonies and remarkable footage captured that day will reveal what happened in those crucial moments following the quake as a tsunami barreled toward land at 500 miles per hour. The special will also examine scientifically what happened that day and attempt to piece together when Mother Nature may strike again. MEGAQUAKE: HOUR THAT SHOOK JAPAN, featuring exclusive interviews and never before seen footage, premieres on Discovery Channel on Sunday, April 24 at 10PM e/p and will subsequently roll out on Discovery networks around the world.Discovery Channel and its production partner, Darlow Smithson Productions, includes in its movie an exclusive sound recording captured at the Wake Island hydro-acoustic station 2,000 miles away in the Pacific Ocean. The station belongs to the global monitoring network of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO). The recording, made by ultra sensitive hydrophones at a depth of 1,300 meters, was subsequently sped up by 32 times so it could be audible to human ears – enabling people to hear the actual sound of a 600km long section of the fault line in the earth’s crust rupturing and grinding against rock with the power of 600 million Hiroshima bombs.Viewers will also hear the very personal stories of those who experienced events of March 11th. Firefighter Takayama Yukio was inside the nuclear plant when the earthquake struck. He will recall the sense of fear and desperation among those inside. The special also includes footage of Yukio and his fellow firefighters inside the reactor.In the aftermath of the earthquake and tsunami, Japan’s Sendai Airport was a nightmare – cars were strewn about the runway, debris littered the terminal and there was no power. Hear about the chain of events in an exclusive interview with the air traffic controller, Kibuna Yoshihiko, who was on duty that day.The special also features interviews with Americans who were in Japan on March 11th, including Paula Lutze who was teaching school in Sendai. Exclusive footage shows Lutsy in school that day. She was instrumental in rescuing children caught up in the chaos of the tsunami.Additionally, the new Discovery special will examine the Pacific Ring of Fire – a name given to the region devastated by natural disasters in recent years – to assess whether the earth’s tectonic plates are in a phase of increased activity, which could result in further seismic events. Through exclusive interviews with top seismologists and oceanographers, the documentary will piece together where Mother Nature might strike next.MEGAQUAKE: HOUR THAT SHOOK JAPAN is produced for Discovery Channel by Darlow Smithson Productions, where Tom Brisley and Guy Davies are executive producers and Simon Young is producer. For Discovery Channel, Stephen Reverand is executive producer.Joz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
