8.9 magnitude earthquake hits Japan

All live and latest news can be read in BBC link here.

So here's is what I have gathered so far.

• 8.9 scale earthquake hit North East of Japan near Sendai
• minutes later 10-20 feet tsunami began hitting the coast
• this earthquake is the largest in Japan since the scale system introduced
• more than 200 bodies are found on the coast of Sendai
  
• report from local network says, 80,000 may be dead
  
• tsunami warning has been issued around the Pacific, including, Hawaii, Philippines, west coast of North and South America
• passenger train missing near Sendai

Let's all hope the best of Japan, and may it remain strong in this hard time.
