And right after I finish talking about the low risks of nuclear power, Japan has the threat of meltdown. Luckily the explosion seems to have not damaged the reactor containment, and they've managed to depressurize it by now. It was quite similar to the Three Mile Island incident, in fact.
But the earthquake and the subsequent tsunami caused a lot of devastation in the area. Props to the Japanese, they've coped with the situation extremely well, but the event was huge and there's many deaths, more missing and a lot to rebuild. The tragedy is made all the more real by the pictures in Tokyo, showing districts and streets where I've walked myself, and especially by people I know over the Internet who live there talking about the situation.
My thoughts go out to the people of Japan.
