One of the outer bldgs has collapsed at the #1 site and just a few minutes ago there was a 6+ rated aftershock in Fukushima provice. They have ordered evacuation for a 12mile radius.
Images and videos still are unfathomable.

A powerful earthquake hit Japan today, unleashing a tsunami that swept debris miles inland. The U.S. and 19 other countries are under a tsunami warning.
At least 50 killed; tsunamis feared as massive quake hits Japan - CNN.com (http://www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/asiapcf/03/11/japan.quake/index.html?hpt=T1&iref=BN1)
IT is sad/weird how it was report only 50 folks now it is looking more like 10000 and counting.

Reactor 1 has had an explosion, and the Japan govt is saying for the first time that a meltdown is most likely occuring. Also, there is a second reactor that an explosion is apparantly imminent. The 1st reactor is confirmed to be leaking cesium-137, a very volatile element with a long half-life, among other things.
Very bad here. Maybe not a chernobyl but the damage, and the consequences very well may rival it.
