So an earthquake that injurers over 1,000 people and leaves many homeless happens and the media is focused on the streets that have been covered in foam?
Don't get me wrong, this is interesting, but I feel that the priorities of the media are a little off.
Then again, earthquakes happen more there, and I don't know if a quake like this would be a big deal for them or not.
Kthuulu probably farted

I don't think so. News channels have been bombarded with all the shaky details on the quake. And reposts of such. And the another repost of such. And the another repost of such.
A different topic would be more welcome that a repost of a repost of a repost.

???

They would have made a news article about the foam if there was no earthquake - we just suspect that the two are connected because the earthquake happened then the foam therefore there may be a relationship to look for.

But this is SCIENCE happening

Windows pwns - handhelds just don't feel right to me.
Yeah, so, I've been wondering about this since I heard the news. Some guy on Twitter said the foam burned his leg while he ran through it.
What could this shit be?

the earthquake released a lot of compressed gasses and it got infused with the seawater. When the ground cracked, a lot of this seawater with infused gasses came out to the surface forming these foams on the streets. It seems unusual because it doesn't happen very often during earthquakes
Gas + seawater does not seem like it would create such a thick white foam.
The more time that goes by without this being identified, the more suspicious I am becoming. Japan is known for its cover ups. They're even worse than Europeans with this sort of thing.
Isnt this just foam created from the sea?
It happens a lot in the UK when theres high tides and high wind speeds, the foam is essentially whipped up by the wind and the unstable seas then is swept inland and covers costal areas
e.g.

If it burned him he probably had a cut on his leg, and salt from the foam got into the cut or something.
Its completely harmless sea foam.

/g/ pls
So any word yet on what this foam is?
Bump for the foam
Hitomi Tanaka is from Kumamoto. Loads of white foam oozing through the streets? There seems to be some kind of connection... I wonder...
