My brother lives in Tokyo with his wife and kids.

They said its been pretty chaotic there. His wife's mother is from one of the worst hit areas....

I don't understand why they shutdown airports? Not like a volcano erupted?

Hey everyone, chances are your families & friends back home imagine we here in Korea might be geographically impacted by this -- mine did. They appreciated a quick note saying not to worry.

This morning (Sat), alJazeera is reporting a nuclear emergency at two plants in Fukushima. A radioactive cloud has been vented in an effort to reduce pressure. There was some technical talk I didn't really understand.

Anyway, an additional source of concern to complicate the devastation from the quake yesterday.

[Mr. Kalgukshi]

An off-topic posting was reported to the Mod Team and has been deleted.

Please stay on topic.

There will be no additional warnings before sanctions are imposed.

Is there anyone else a little concerned about the nuclear reactors? I hope the officials are not downplaying the situation.

[Tiger Beer]

I'm in Niigata. (Northern Japan).

Yeah, we're very concerned about the nuclear reactor. Tons of aftershocks here all day and all night long.

I'm not too far from Sendai or Fukushima. They are basically a straight line across from me.

I haven't seen any of the channels even talk about the USA coolant yet. Then again, I don't know Japanese but my friend has been translating the important things for me.

A nuclear expert was just on and said that because there is such little liquid in the reactor, it will take a very long time to explode. However, he said, if the inside of the container has been broken, then we have a lot to worry about.

They sent people to try to find a solution but they all died. I don't know if it was caused by the nuclear waste or the tsunami or what...

Only a bit of the waste is leaking so far.

Now, for the one plant, all of the video is being taken by a black and white picture so I'm assuming it's a remote controlled aircraft.


Another tsunami is on its way...


Also, the earthquake has been moving seems to be coming in my direction (SW)

pray for japan,

[NohopeSeriously]

Damn it. My closest Japanese buddy has relatives living in Sendai.

There had been an explosion at the Fukushima nuclear plant just recently....
