Lets face it people the reactor's are going to blow and it ain't going to be good. Some are already beyond any turning point. This facility is the largest in the world and it going to be bad. Japan only has a radius of evacuation of 30 miles in any other country it would be 50 miles and the evacuees are complaining about the 30 miles already. There tired their hungry the shaken but they better get moving. We are talking 8 nuclear reactors only a few in danger of a meltdown but once those go we know the others are behind them. think about it.
EXACTLY...they are ALL going to react to the concusion from the explosions...its not looking well for Japan...and when the winds shift southeast towards Tokyo....very sad
Air dumping was a last ditch effort anyways. You see how much effort it takes to put out forest fires using this method. Given that in this case the target is relatively small and only a direct hit does any good at all the odds were long against this being able to work to begin with.

those helo pilots just did a suicide mission and they knew it.....feel for their families.....the radiation is so intense there now
Most nuclear power plants have the iconic hyperbolic cooling towers. Why does Fukushima instead have the cubical towers?
These towers were painted blue with white specks - was this an esthetic thing that was supposed to look like snow? Otherwise why were they painted that way?
It's 7am here now in Niigata Japan - I just woke up.
That story hit the news about 3pm or so yesterday. Apparently it was true for 45 minutes, than they went back in there and started working again.
However, I noticed all day, that a source I regularly check my email, yahoo.com, left that up there on their front page all day long.
In short, it happened, but 45 minutes later, they went back in. Apparently radiation count spiked briefly, than went back down again, and they went back in again.
Still a ton of things happening again today, I am sure. But that story is an old one, and short-lived one.
Thanks for clearing it up!
Nuclear power is way more efficient than fossil fuels or any other renewables for that matter. However, no matter how well toxic waste is stored, we can never tell how nature will act. For me, the risks outweigh the benefits because really, no body wants to get cancer or glow because of toxic waste.
