Another explosion today from the nuclear plant...seeing the high death toll and massive destruction leading to more homeless people with no food and water is really heartbreaking.


But I really admire the resilience and discipline of the japanese people, that they are able to show grace and self control under such devastating crisis - no looting, no hysteria, no snatching of food rations and water. Just quiet weeping, orderly queueing for food and water and helping of one another. Really admirable.

I agree with your statment. I really respect the japanese people. If happen in other countries, will see choas and rushing everywhere.

This is what we sure learn from the japanese. They remain claim in handling such a major issue.

Sigh… the nuclear emergency sounds bad… 3 explosions and a fire! Also, there is high radiation around the reactors. Some 400 miliserverts (100 miliseverts causes infertility… )

should there be another diaster, just pray that it is on a really smaller scale.

Control rods are all inserted in the 4 reactors. It is very unlikely there will be major leakage. Don't scare yourself.
