I wonder, assuming light physical damage from waves and debris, are those jets recoverable?

In 1953 nearly 2000 Dutch people were lost during an inundation as the result of a storm, that also causes victims near Hamburg and in the East of England. The loss then was similar, compared to the size of the population, as is now suffered by Japan. Our loss has not been forgotten and Japans loss won't be forgotten in half a century. Indeed the whole world will not forget.
I don't think these aircraft were built to swim in the sea and then be repaired. It's about corrosion.

M9 earthquake, that is scary, lucky most of the seismic energy transfer went smoothly and far away from Japan, otherwise the damage would be unimmaginable.
One thing I noticed is that governments, especially the US, need to work on is how to properly judge the risk of natural disasters, their baseless tsunami warning no doubt caused a lot of fear and inconvenience for many people. I get the sense the entire administration was confused and made a hasty decision once they heard there was a earthquake and stumbled over themselves to issue warnings, maybe they should have listened to reports from their experts first.
There was a lot of seismic energy that could have caused a great deal of damage, but because of the smooth process the vast majority of that energy was transferred when the continental plates shifted relative to each other, the energy waves radiating outwards were very weak, I doubt the tsunami even reached half way to Hawaii.

there's a risk of nuclear meltdown, and i cant stress how concerned i am to hear this news. i really dont want another chernobyl...esp not in japan, cause that'll just be another hiroshima

Sigh... western media and their fear mongering articles.
Meltdown means the fuel assembly melts, which is not the same as the accident at Chernobyl, and certainly NOT the same as a detonation of a nuclear bomb such as Hiroshima.

It's the issue of the powerplant's owner.
