PLEX For Good: JAPAN

Ok, we've all heard about the devastating news about Japans recent earthquake which created one of the biggest tsunami's ever which pretty much obliterated their north-east coast.

Hundreds of thousands of loved ones are still missing and or feared dead.

You guys can do you part, and help CCP support them with simply buying a PLEX ingame, and contracting it to "CCP PLEX For Good" character ingame making sure the character is in the C C P corporation to avoid scammers (you will know its the right one because of the infamous CCP corp logo).

Your PLEX will be turned into RL cash, and sent to the Red Cross. More information can be found in the link above.

Don't worry, i'm not gonna turn into one of these megahugedogooders, but you can't say this tragedy didn't tug on your heart strings.

I have done my bit, Have you done yours?

[Silas]

Yeah. Looks like it's not going to get better there any time soon either... Fingers crossed for no nuclear meltdown, but it's looking grim.

Horrible, just horrible.

I deployed to Pakistan on a humanitarian mission after the earthquake there in 2005. From first hand experience all I can say is that regardless of the media coverage and various views available the reality is undoubtedly worse.

[Draelor]

Reality is always worse than what the pictures/video convey. They don't convey the smell, the taste, the feeling in the air. Thankfully it happened in Japan - the people are being incredibly stoic, and even with low supplies they're being very calm and orderly. You may see fear there, but even during the earthquake videos, they're controlling it and not panicking. That takes a helluva lot of strength, hell, that's the definition of courage.

Japanese people are something else for sure...

Very true.

Also, it appears that the suppression chamber on reactor 2 has cracked, resulting in a H2 explosion and a serious release of radiation. I believe this crack is going to make it very hard to cool the fuel down, which is probably going to lead to further over heating, fuel damage and a very serious clean up operation. Not to mention a potentially life threatening radiation dose to the 50 or so workers trying to bring this under control.

Looking at the images brings tears to my eyes. Makes the flooding and cyclones here in Australia look like a walk in the park on a Sunday afternoon. I will be donating money, but not via PLEX (I am poor in EVE).

[Silas]

Also, as always, make sure wherever you donate that you're money go to the right people. There are already a bunch of douchebags posting (and naive morons re-posting) fake account numbers on Facebook etc.
