So it was. Will be a great disappointment to many leftwing news outlets.
what about the huge explosion?
Cheers to the engineers/ops/management that reportedly got this stabilized. No doubt a lot of contamination. Heroes!
Prayers up!

? seen live on TV...walls burst out at "supersonic speeds"
Not buying.
Haven’t you heard? http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2687620/posts
I saw a supersonic pressure wave at the top of the explosion!
I am afraid that Fukushima Daiichi #1 is done...lost containment.
NHK World says evacuation zone is now 20 kilometers for both No 1 & No 2 power plant areas: Fukushima Daini and Fukushima Dai-ichi.
Daini is shut down. Daiichi, as far as I can tell, may be melting down.
That was written before the explosion and that information (all shut down)had been reported on NHK hours before the explosion.
They explain in Tokyo now... http://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/ watch LIVE
NHK World now clarifying No 2 power plant area, Fukushima Daini, is still under a 10km evac zone, it was not extended to 20km.
