It's amazing to me that in just a few minutes they went back to zero in every aspect of their economy. No crops no power, roads and buildings destroyed plus the soil and water will be contaminated for years. They will just have to migrate to a different area.

Never seen anything like that before. All those pics were unbelievable, but the shot of the airport is just crazy.

Its like a sand castle on a beach getting washed away. My wife has been to Fukushima on business, her company has a medical devices plant there about 30 miles from the power plant. As of yesterday everyone she knows was fine, but now the hot zone is extended.

You have to admire the Japaneese, their discipline in this crisis is amazing. No crime, rioting, or even resentment.
