RT @skynewsbreak: Explosion heard and white smoke seen at quake-hit Fukushima nuclear plant in Japan
1 minute ago

**** man. Apparently, that is the outer structure of building that houses reactor at Fukushima plant. Tepco says explosion may have been hydrogen used to cool the plant.

Reuters is reporting that Tepco's no.1 reactor ceiling has collapsed.

Great. So instead of a monster earthquake and tsunami, a nuclear plant has exploded tonight instead.

This is all bad news right now.

Holy crap. This is bad. Real, real bad.

Italy's National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology said the earth's axis had shifted 25 cm as a result of the quake and the U.S. Geological Survey said the main island of Japan had actually shifted 2.4 metres.

Jesus.

This situation is making me physically ill.

People have been drowned, burned, smashed, gassed, homes destroyed, cars gone, pets dead, and now irradiated and nuked.

The suck is strong in this deal.

The Japanese just notified the press that the explosion at that nuclear plant did, in fact, release radiation. They now expect a full meltdown at that plant.

This is not good.

I suppose that their best nuclear power specialists were working at that plant when it exploded, too.
