Agreed...My prayers go out to everyone in Japan (and all affected areas) during this very tragic time.

+1. It's the most powerful quake in written history for Japan. Tsunami alerts even reached all the way down south to NZ.

Let's hope the reactor will be cooled in time...

It's apparently the building encasing one of the reactors who blowed-up...
So the reactor most likely irradiates around now: People been evacuated and a 20km security perimeter been established.
Now the reactor heats up: Might be a meltdown if they can't cool it

A 2ed facility seems to be having allot of issues now too. Talk about a triple whammy on Japan.

Its simply unimaginable, The Big Picture @ Boston.com has produced some quite staggering pictures of this disaster.

My mother told me at dinner that they had rescued a man from atop of his house, 9 miles out at sea!  Words just can't discribe it.  My thoughts are with those living though these extremely difficult times.

They had a 7.4 aftershock last night. They just can not get a break from it all.
