It is indeed and as you all can see it's not a cheap fix or temp it just shows you the work ethic and determination of the Japanese people, at these hard times they come together even closer as q people

I honestly think that this catastophe will strengthen Japan in the long run because it forces them to evaluate and act upon their priorities first and foremost. The road repair is a great example of that vs. the countless hoops we have to go through in the USA to get anything done. Slow is good sometimes but fast is also necessary from time to time. (IMO)

I may not remember this story exactly, but I will try my best to make it sound good. A semi crashed underneath a section of I-75 going south towards Bradenton, FL a few years back. They had to rebuild that portion of bridge due to damage. They actually had 24 hour a day work going on for I believe 3-4 weeks to get it done asap. That was the quickest I have ever seen a road repair in my lifetime.

If they repaired a blacktop that quickly including dumping the amount of dirt in there to level the road before retopping, it would be a sinkhole in a year or 2. Not buying it.

They'll defiantly build Japan back before we get the twin towers back.

Look at the power lines and signs and you’ll see they are shot from the same spot.

Yes, because the union bosses would take five days to schedule a meeting and six months later they would encourage a strike... Might be finished in two - three years.

OT- bravo Japan!

I'm agree with Lug..
Whilst the Japanese wont sit still or procrastinate, think this is a fake..
Road wouldn't get fixed this quick and this good. Just think how many miles of road/rail are destroyed. Get them useable, yes. There are other priorities, hospitals,shelter, food/water. Can you imagine the amount of homes/rebuilding required. Will they rebuild in same place?

We need to wish them well, and help as much as possible.
My son spent 10 days in Minami Sanriku (USAR's from Oz) The scale of destruction is difficult to grasp, even from the extensive coverage we've had.
