Very sad day indeed. I understand the U.S. Coast Guard is already in full swing to help with rescues.
Japan will remember this day as "311"

It's about to get worse. Much worse.
A nuclear reactor is melting down.

That's very bad news. I haven't been staying up with the news but early yesterday they said everything was ok.
With all their technology they don't have means of a back-up energy source to power the cooling units?

I saw a pic this morning that showed an explosion at one of the nuke plants bad news for all of us if the radiation blows this way.

Ya there was an explosion, and they now moved the evacuated area to 12 miles out. They are still saying there will not be a major incident of radiation leakage. Though they have said that radiation levels in the control room are 1000 times normal levels.

I think they might be underplaying the seriousness of the problem. For all we know these reactors could be on the verge of disaster. one having already exploding thats a scary thought what could happen! I guess two different plants where affected in this way.

For US [people] any nuclear disaster is VERY bad news

But, Chernobyl proved that, Nature takes the hit, and with the invasive species [us] removed, takes-over

The region, is now a wild game park

After the explosion, there is a very high probability of a melt down. VERY bad! It's ironic. Water devastated Japan. Now lack of water causes the reactors to overheat... Praying the plant doesn't melt down.

Japanese officials, are minimising the risks

They say the explosion was MOSTLY steam but I saw [some] smoke mixed in

I will await further developements, before forming any opinion

Japan does not have our semi-open government so any reports, on the [REAL] level of the danger/disaster will be, "subject to spin"

They also are investigating "some" missing trains

I heard about that. Apparently 4 whole trains are missing....that could really sky rocket the death toll if they were all fully loaded.
