Coal plant damage
Any news on how the coal plant was damaged? Nowa (talk) 00:45, 7 September 2018 (UTC)
There may be a Japanese language source for this somewhere, but the NHK TV Bilingual News said that fires broke out at the plant immediately following the quake, forcing it to shut down. I wasn't able to find a written source that could be easily translated or that was already in English. Mccunicano (talk) 02:11, 7 September 2018 (UTC)

Real number of deaths is 9.
"Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga has apologized for mistakenly overstating the number of people who died in Thursday's earthquake in Hokkaido.
Suga told a news conference on Friday morning that the death toll had reached 16, but revised the figure downward to 9 in the afternoon.
Suga explained that officials included 7 people who were found with no vital signs into the fatalities total." https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20180907_37/ 85.76.22.135 (talk) 12:20, 7 September 2018 (UTC)
