Still, I have to say ... as much as I don't like nuclear meltdowns, it's a paltry excuse for a news story compared to the massive death and destruction wrought by the original earthquake and tsunami. Methinks the media has turned a feeding frenzy out of this because, in part, they've run out of anything new to say about the earthquake and tsunami. It's certainly a big international story, but it's been exacerbated by people hungry for new news where there isn't much of any.
Close up of reactors 3 and 4.
