Michael Z. Williamson (SurvivalBlog’s Editor at Large) recommend this National Geographic documentary: Witness: Disaster in Japan. Mike’s comments: “This is an excellent presentation. The first 30 minutes is raw footage from cell phones, local cameras and news, with almost no commentary. There are English subtitles. Watching six minutes of magnitude 9.0 shaking and collapse, followed by 20 minutes of blasting waves demolishing buildings and sweeping everything inland in a filthy black crush, is very sobering. The sheer level of devastation is a reminder that natural disasters dwarf anything that we might do ourselves.”

I noticed that the now classic Libertarian novel “Atlas Shrugged” just jumped to #4 in Books, on Amazon.com! No doubt this renewed interest can be attributed to the new Atlas Shrugged movie.) Some mainstream movie critics like Roger Ebert (known for his statist bias) have panned the film, but all of the SurvivalBlog readers that I’ve heard from have liked it.
