Surging radiation levels temporarily halted work to cool the troubled reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, raising worries that officials are running out of options to stabilize the escalating catastrophe.

"We're very close now to the point of no return," Dr. Michio Kaku, a theoretical physicist, said. "It's gotten worse. We're talking about workers coming into the reactor perhaps as a suicide mission and we may have to abandon ship."

So it seems the real issue is not whether or not Anderson Cooper can get out of the area.

Methinks ALL Muslim Imams should go to the site immediately and pray to Allah to save the reactors. Should Ammah deem their prayers correct, it will be done. If not, the Imams will die of radiation poisoning.

After all, the one true religion should prevail...right?

Well, so long everyone. FR is one of the things about life I've enjoyed most, and I'll miss all of you. Just remember this, as the darkness falls on all of us:

We'll meet again
Don't know where, don't know when...
But we'll meet again some sunny day.

The information is so fragmented and contradictory as to be all but useless.

One must wonder if the nuclear plant workers know the risk, and are still willing to battle on to prevent more harm to their families and countrymen.

If so, they are indeed “true heroes”.

a disaster of unknown proportions is near to happening. Only the hand of God will forestall this now. Pray, Pray, Pray, for the people of Japan, surrounding nations under the winds, and around the world. Tragedy.

Father God help Japan is this day, only thou can show thyself in a way that no one can fail to know it was thee, the God of the Universe that has performed this miracle to contain this disaster now, Nothing is impossible for thee. Is anything too hard for thee? NO! in Jesus name, amen.

Hmmm. I guess I’m a theoretical brain surgeon.

No doubt he's busy totaling up the number of rems he's received for his report tonight.

I’m guessing they’ll have to bury it in concrete like they did with Chernobyl. Fortunately these reactors aren’t as dirty as Chernobyl and weren’t hidden from the world for weeks.
