Thoughts on Japanese Tragedy and Cast and Crew's Well-Being

I was planning to do Ultraman Week and Girl Power Week 2. In respect to the natural disaster and tragedies in Japan, I have decided to not post anything else this week, unless important and or pressing. My heart goes out to those who lost their homes, or love ones. I personally know three people in Japan that are dear friends, I hope the best for my friends David Shaw, Danny Torres and Jill Sylvan. Jill Sylvan, a fellow website webmaster I've known since 1999 -- Sentai Spoilers, which is now on hiatus, is all right. Danny Torres is a pal I chatted with online and he moved from the United States to Japan and has met a lot of former Sentai cast. David Shaw, is my friend from college who is now teaching children English and has no Sentai relations (nor a big fan). So my prayers are there for them, the Japanese citizens and the whole world, in fact.

Hallwings says: This has got to be the first major pre-emption of Super Sentai (and tokusatsu in general, since other series were affected by this) since the death of Emperor Hirohito (Showa) all the way back in 1989. [But they didn't delay airings in 1995 for the 6.8 earthquake that hit the Hanshin region.] This was a 9-er, along with major tsunami.
I don't have much to back up the information or any other info on any other delays. On January 7, 1989, Emperor Hirohito Shōwa died. Choujuu Sentai Liveman aired in 1989.

Cast & Crews' well-beings:
Yuki Yamada (Gokai Blue) did recently update his blog earlier today, saying that he is fine and safe.
