I know this wasn't Shane Meadows's doing and its not related to film (well i think not anyway), but i really have to say. i poop'd my pants at 1pm this morning (well nearly).
We used to have big earth quakes in Japan when i lived there, and you expect it, but this was a biggy. So frightening to have no control like that.
The earth is getting its own back on selfish, greedy human life... just lettin us know who the daddy is i guess.

Yes. I was semi-asleep when it struck. So wasnt sure what was going on, the whole house was wobbling.
And yeah. Your pretty much in the hands of god at that point. Death by chimney.
Im not too sure how my housemate slept through it though!?

Me! I lived through... QUAKE 08[shadow=red,left,300][/shadow] It woke me up from a disturbing dream and I was all disorientated at first. I thought there was some beastie in my room growling and shaking the bed! I didn't know what the hell was going on! I got such an adrenalin rush from it that I felt quite queasy I did. Pretty cool though! My second quake.

I can honestly say I didnt think terrorism in the slightest. There was one a year or something ago so it was pretty much a repeat of that. It must be even worse living on/near a fault line. I did hope for a Cloverfield situation though.......

Didn't feel this one, but I felt the one a year or two back.
After I heard about the quake happening at 1am.... I did recall hearing a door vibrating at about that time. Not a ghost after all then.

that's the first earthquake I ever experienced and it was more annoying than scary I would say, what with being woken up and all them alarms going off.....
and who's to say it wasn't terrorism eh...? I thought at the time it would be just typical of al qeada to give south manchester a little wobble.....

Didn't think terrorism - my first thought was possession. I was quite disappointed when I found out me head wouldn't go all the way around!!

I feel like the only person in the world that didn't notice it. I was up and not doing anything as well.

I slept through it. Didn't notice a thing, rather gutted actually would have liked to experience it. My bro says he was up as well and didn't notice anything. And his housemates did somehow?!

I didn't think it was a terror attack as such. But I did take it personally as if someone was trying to annoy me! I thought next door to the loft room I am in someone had installed a really powerful washing machine yesterday and it was on really fast spin. Then I thought a car had crashed into the building. Then I thought it might be a neighbour throwing stuff about in a rage. I was well p'd off at the thoughtless buffoons.
Then I found out on messenger that it was a quake.
Jo Hartley, you used to live in Japan? Did you get to be in any Godzilla films like Chris Isaak when he was a student there? I wrote to you and you very nicely replied on Myspace under the name of Junction 26, a film me and my friend are trying to finish making about him getting sacked from a job at a fetish rubber factory in Derbyshire (based on 4D Rubber, a real place) and what happens afterwards.

I felt it, I'm about 40 miles from the epicentre. At first I could hear some rumbling and it sounded like something was kicking off downstairs, then everything started shaking. Fun times.

Hi James, I never actually lived in Japan, i was there around 22 days out of the month, staying in a hotel in Tokyo. I was a trolley dolley, with Japanese Airlines. When i was 19 till 24, good times. Eiy, me left to go back into acting!
Loved the place though, no films for me in Japan im afraid! Would love to make a movie there.
