They seemed to be updating their info quite rapidly as new information emerged. |

According to what I had read in our local paper, one of the reactors in the Fukushima power plant had gone into meltdown, but officials managed to contain it with only minimal release of radiation. Apparantly, it just exploded. Not an explosion like Tsjernobyl though, but still... Lots of radioactive material being released. |

My sympathy to all affected. |

Costal cities in Northern California (USA) are also being evacuated. The earthquake has effected all land surrounding the Pacific.
I actually watched live coverage within an hour after the event on both CNN and NHK World. CNN was re-broadcasting the images from NHK, finally I just found a working stream and watched NHK directly (their world channel has news in English). That more lives have not been lost speaks to the quality of their modern building codes. I understand central Tokyo mostly had damage from loose things falling off shelves. The real concern is the rural areas and the harder to access places. The death toll will likely rise as reports come out of those areas, and most of the deaths will probably be due to the tsnuami or the older buildings in such areas. |
