9.0 quake and massive tsunami has got to be one of the worst case scenarios
of all time. Hmmmmmmm?

Well, in Iraq the wells have burned a long, long time. Some heavy polution was going on. But that still wasn't as bad a Tsjernobyl, which is still highly radioactive in the surrounding area, causing cancer all kinds of other problems.
I guess that's why we don't deem it as "that bad"
