That area of the world is by far the most active regarding quakes, the Japanese have strict building codes and many precautions against this sort of thing but nobody can prepare for an 8.9. It will be days before extent of damage is known, the US stands ready to help, hopefully we can assist them in their hour of need.

I think that nuclear reactor just melted down.

WAKI, Japan – An explosion at a nuclear power station Saturday destroyed a building housing the reactor amid fears that it was close to a disastrous meltdown after being hit by a powerful earthquake and tsunami.....Footage on Japanese TV showed that the walls of the reactor's building had crumbled, leaving only a skeletal metal frame standing. Puffs of smoke were spewing out of the plant in Fukushima, 20 miles (30 kilometers) from Iwaki. ,`- (

They're saying the explosion didn't bother the containment vessel. Hope they are telling the truth.
