Yeah, thank you, I’m watching too.
It feels like we’re watching a slow motion disaster. I mean, if there’s a chance this thing can be saved, then by God, call in the cavalry. Surely they can get power to that thing if that’s the problem. We’ve got a nuclear carrier in the area, hook that baby up...
Can you post the link and/or the pictures?
There you are! I was wondering about you, and TLR!
He’s okay, and I’m glad to know you are, too.
Both of you...stay safe!
I am certainly not an expert or even a novice on nuclear physics, however I do know when Government/News Media are in crisis mode.
There appears to be a lot more going on in japan than is being let on...
I am very concerned.
Don’t worry the fireman still have hoses on it. It will all be OK. /sarc
This is So totally Sad!
Wondering about you, too.
You be safe!
I have a feeling its not just power thats the problem, that was probably a cover story to the real problem, that building could well have been damaged or broken in the quake and they needed time.
If they are venting the overheating reactors it is normal that some radiation leaks. However seems that #1 was not vented fast enough, or when venting a hydrogen explosion happened.

All so frighteningly unbelievable! Massive earthquake..check, massive tsunami..check, nuclear catastrophe..probably. Only thing missing at this point in time is Godzilla or Rodan attacking!

This is just one Nuclear Reactor under Nuclear Emergency...there are 4 more under Nuclear Emergency.....
Fox is saying radiation 20 times normal and looks as if the plant is in the midst of meltdown.
I’m watching here on my detection, it’ll be a few weeks but it’s going to go up.
I hope they are issuing Iodine there, QUICK
