The term "lost control" is unnerving. What's really going on here?

I really don’t know.

On one hand, it could be typical media hype.

On the other hand it could be Chernobyl II.

From my rather limited understanding of nuclear reactors, the term “lost control” doesn’t sound good at all...

No cause for concern. Hillary Clinton ordered some more coolant delivered to save the situation.

I read the AP report with my own eyes.

I sense yet another “Godzilla” sequel in the making. Or would it be “Them” or “Deadly Mantis”?

previous reports had just Number One in distress with a decision to release radioactive steam for pressure relief being contemplated but not acted on yet. Now we have a Number Two? not good.

It is difficult to imagine the intensity of this earthquake.

I have read reports stating that major portions of Japan have subsided and are now permanently underwater.

At this point it doesn’t matter. Even if it’s contained and resolved without issue. This is going to set the Nuclear industry back at a time when we need to be building nuclear plants.

My heart breaks for the people of Japan...I cannot imagine- it must be like the nightmare that never ends....

I cling to the hope that once they can start to recover- that they become an inspiration to others as to how strong the human spirit is....The Japanese are a proud people...

and I bet our military and their gov’t can get water to the people in need in less than five days....
