CNN has pulled the headline from their website from "Meltdown Underway" to "Meltdown Possible". However, that hasn't stopped Wolf who is Blitzed from using the word "Meltdown" in every other sentence. The man is absolutely giddy over the possibility of a Nuclear catastrophe in Japan. He's the one having a meltdown here, not the Japanese.

Chernobyl's design is different than Western Reactors and did not have a Containment Dome.

I don't recall any 2 headed animals please provide links; however the human exclusion zone has seen the reintroduction of rare species not seen for centuries in that area and is so lush and green(without humans) that Ukraine has declared the vicinity an official Wildlife Sanctuary.

[9:54 p.m. ET, 11:54 a.m. Tokyo] A meltdown may have occurred at at least one nuclear power reactor in Japan, the country's chief cabinet secretary, Yukio Edano, said Sunday.
He also said that authorities are concerned over the possibility of another meltdown at a second reactor.
"We do believe that there is a possibility that meltdown has occurred. It is inside the reactor. We can't see. However, we are assuming that a meltdown has occurred," he said of the No. 1 reactor at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear facility. "And with reactor No. 3, we are also assuming that the possibility of a meltdown as we carry out measures."

Well the quake certainly couldn't be Obama's fault. You would actually have to DO something in order to be at fault.
