That was probably a hydrogen explosion that damaged the shield building, which is different than containment. The containment structure is a steel vessel that is underneath the shield building. Hopefully that is still intact.

I also saw that the tsunami warning center upped their estimate to a 9.1 magnitude. That is pretty close to the record earthquake. Given that, it is amazing that most of the nuclear plants in Japan are still operating, supplying the energy needed to support recovery operations. That is a real news story and you can count on it never being told by the media.

I just heard some expert on tv saying with every hour that goes by the treat is less.

Agreed. But that building didn’t waste any time flying apart...
