I love the Pacific Rim, but earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, etc. are the price for living on the "Ring Of Fire." All of us sympathize with our Japanese friends.

The footaqe of the tsumani from the helicopters are like nothing I've ever seen. It looks like lava flowing. And the shot of the wave actually approaching the shore - I am just in awe.
I fear the death count will be much higher, but hopefully people knew when the quake hit to head inland. The news said last night in some parts the water reached inland 3 miles.
And then there's the fires, the after shocks, the nuclear plant......Those poor people. They are never far from my thoughts and prayers.

35 minutes isn't a heckuva lot of time to head inland, unfortunately.

That is the first time that I have seen video of a Tsunami. WOW. You see those people driving along and wonder if they even know what is about to happen to them. That is just shocking. And now reactor problems.

please do not listen to the media try and scare people about the nuclear reactors, they are just fine. they're calling it a "release" and that is patently false and the media should be punished for the misinformation but they can't. They are merely venting residual heat from the core that is filtered through a long series of charcoal and filters, i would breathe that air before any city air in a heart beat.
The control rods are firmly in place and in any case, commercial plants are built with a negative coefficient so they would "poison" themselves out of a reaction rather than going the other direction and going super-critical. Never let the media or extremist groups fool you about nuclear power generation: "Meltdowns" are virtually impossible in commercial reactors of BWR and PWR designs.
*IF* they were not able to cool the core enough, the only thing that would happen is fuel breaking, which isn't good, but only isn't good for the plant's core, nothing else would be affected.
