[QUOTE="ratski, post: 1483639, member: 936"] Interesting as the day progresses to watch some of the news. While some are quick to point out that they are a different society than the US for instance, and there is no panic, no rioting, no looting, etc.... I have to wonder.... Reports are saying the death toll is under 1000 but might rise. Ya think? With all of the infrastructure down (subways, railways, airports, seaports, communications) I wonder if a matter of days will see things change dramatically. Didn't someone once say we are only three days food supply from anarchy and chaos? For as many SHTF threads as we have on this board, this is certainly a SHTF event for what appears to be almost an entire major country. And while hypothetical, imagine this happening to you and you are the only guy on your block with a case or two of MREs and no prospect of any resupply in sight. Japanese culture or not, I think that this is going to be a major SHTF event on an order we haven't seen before. Just my thoughts. Dave [/QUOTE]
