NRT/HND/KIX closed after Japan quake
NRT, HND and KIX are all reported as being closed after the massive quake in Japan. (Al Jazeera, CNN, BBC World)
Thoughts go out to the folks in Japan, at 8.9 on the scale this sounds like a nasty one.

Wow, this is insane. Watching this unfold from Shanghai. Was just in Tokyo on Wednesday and felt the 7.2 that hit near noon that day.
Thoughts and prayers with those affected.
Will be watching this post for NRT info, as I'm flying thru on Friday (or not).

Thoughts and prayers
Over the years I have amassed MANY very good friends in Japan. To them along with the many FT Japan residents I say my thoughts and prayers are with you. Report from my office in the Akasaka section of Tokyo was that the quake itself was the longest duration "severe" shaking anyone had ever felt. This one will leave a scar.
