I haven't posted for approximately an eternity. Sorry. I meant to post this a while ago, but do to my dysfunctional brain, I forgot *head desk*:
Can this get any worse? Actaully. Forget I said that. Let’s not jinx it, since they’ve got quite enough to be going on with as it is.
A list of stuff going on in Japan:
1) Earthquake= destruction
2) Tsunami caused by earthquake causes even more destruction.
3) Eartquake and/or tsunami damages nuclear reactors= Very Bad.
a) When I last heard, there was a partial meltdown in at least one reactor, into which they are pumping sea water in attempt to cool it and prevent a full meltdown (think Chernobyl).
b) Evacuation from the areas surrounding the reactors.
c) Sending crews in to try to fix the darn thing, but when last I read, they had pulled out do to the sight of smoke
d) Now they’re talking about a risk of food and water contamination from nuclear fall-out.
4) The death toll, when last I read, was over 18000.
If anyone’s got any updated information, comment!
To say it nicely, this is pretty darn bad.
Has anyone else noticed there’s been a lot of seismic activity? Haiti, Iceland and now Japan. Hmm…
don't....say it......the death toll is over 9000!!!
ReplyDeleteAGH! I feel sooooooo horrible for saying that...I am ashamed, but that was the first thing that came to mind.
With that out of the way, my thoughts and wishes are still going out to Japan.
