Flames and smoke shot into the air over the Fukushima plant's No. 4 reactor, fueling fears about the worsening situation. Radiation levels were too high for firefighters to get close enough to douse the blaze, said state broadcaster NHK. Reactor No. 4 was idled for maintenance before Friday's earthquake and tsunami, but spent fuel rods stored there were overheating. The fire was seen near the spent fuel storage. Even before the new fire, European Energy Commissioner Guenther Oettinger said Tokyo appeared to be losing control of the crisis. "There is talk of an apocalypse and I think the word is particularly well chosen," he said after an emergency meeting of nuclear experts in Brussels. Japan's quake-stricken nuke plant caught fire again Tuesday as a handful of heroic workers risked their lives inside to avert a full-scale nuclear meltdown.

Get rid of the fucking numbers. Another lie. 9 reactors with spent fuel rod ponds for each. All going boom. This is the real doom right here. Fuel rod fire confirmed by IAEA. The nuclear shit just hit the wind tunnel.

Another lie. I won't argue with you but remember that 0-7 scale is an approved international convention by ALL countries with subscription for inspection and recommendations by the IAEA, so it is meaningful. Early on, Japan insisted the issue was a 3-4. That is not good; Japan has attempted to cover-up the issue based on a prayer of hope that is/was meaningless.
Religions, on the other hand, have ceased trying to explain reality and instead, has gone head over heels into wishful thinking. This is why so many billions of people worship human gods like Jesus or elevate Buddha or Mohammed to god-level status. None of them can even begin to help us grasp the nature of yin/yang reality systems and how Nature works. Nay, the very ‘powers’ attributed to these human gods is to overcome the true nature of life and death, these are magician/human gods who overturn or control nature, they fly through the air, they don’t really die, they are UNNATURAL."
While I largely agree with you; it is not a religious matter at all; the US government has now conspired to cover-up the magnitude of the ISSUES confronting Japan particularly since #4 went nuclear today. The governments are as secretive as the Roman Catholics in the rooms with their choir boys and nuns... "MUMS THE WORD."
I move that we donate the Phelps clan to Japan. They could use goobers with picket signs saying the nuke disaster is God's way of paying them back for murdering dolphins and whales. ;-D

Hoping that Japan recovers soon, and is able resume sushi.
Please be sensitive to an extra-ordinary issue facing millions now; the issue is no longer confined to Japan. This stuff is going to cause all of us some grief and it is no laffing matter.
