One of the stations played this video the night after it happened. I still remember watching it, especially the people yelling "Hayaku!"(Hurry) to the folks below them.

It's very disturbing. I can't imagine what that part of Japan has gone through. Then add the nuclear power plant sending radiation into the area.

I did read about that, and what I read said that that kind of radiation isn't lethal. It went on to say that our skin is enough of a barrier. Not sure I believe that.

Yeah that doesn't sound right. Since my wife is Japanese, needless to say it took about two weeks worth of salary to pay off our phone bill that month. She was on the phone on an average of three to six hours a day for two weeks after that happened talking to relatives and friends about the situation in Japan. Her father owns a bunch of land where he grows all sorts of vegetables and fruit not too far from where those nuke plants went critical. If fucked up the spinach crops. Many of the hardest hit areas are still messed up. The area round the nuke plants won't be completely cleaned up for another 28 years. Compare that with Russia which won't be cleaned up for thousands of years.
