So I'm sure you've all heard of the crisis going on in Japan right now. A nuclear plant meltdown occured after a tsunami and a magnitude 9 earthquake happened and crippled the generators keeping the cooling systems running in the plant. There has already been mass scrutiny against nuclear plants and power, and this could fuel the movement against it. The meltdown caused an amount of radiation to emanate from the plant, and is dangerous in the immediate area. There is also a weather report that says the wind may carry radiation to Japanese cities.
Helicopters carrying tanks of water, fire trucks, and firemen have been dousing the plant with water, which has been scrutinized as being low tech, but nonethesless effective. Foreigners to Japan are leaving, going back to their home countries and America has actually got a plane to take our citizens back to the U.S.
