Japan to Bury Nuclear Plant

I find this absolutely amazing.
Japan has increased their nuclear level from 4 to 5, this based on an International Nuclear Event Scale. This is a common practice based throughout the world. France rebutted and stated Japan should actually increase it to a level 6. A level 5 incident is comparison to that of 3 Mile Island. Chernobyl was a level 7, which from my understanding is the highest of levels.

Japanese are still being encouraged to stay inside, and to leave all fans and air conditioners off!
They were given instructions to wear wet towels,clothes, and face masks if deciding to go outside.
AND if you do go outside, they ask that the citizens and strip and take showers immediately. Sounds pretty safe...huh?

More on this, and the plans for the burial of the Fukushim Dai-ichi Nuclear plant can be found here:

Third Reactor Failure in Japan

The anxiety of Japan, and the rest of the world, rose high when the announcement of the failure of the third reactor. And now, Fukushima Daiichi officials announced the fourth reactor is now on fire. The world stands on its toes to see the reaction of Japan in how they will move forward.

The death toll has already rose to 2,414 people, with at least 3,118 people still missing. Reporters from across the globe are trying to reach as many citizens of Japan...recording their stories of the events that unfolded. One account, which touched me the most is as follows:

"She had been waiting for help all night, outside. She had been washed away by the wave. ... The moment she opened the door of the house, the water flooded in. ... She grabbed hold of a tree and hung on, hung on for dear life with the water all around her. A ... floor mat floated by, and she grabbed it and held on to that."

As the woman spoke in Japanese, the interpreter's voice trembled in English: "Her daughter was washed away. She was washed away, and she has not found her." (NHK Reporter & Interpretor).

Japan hit by Earthquakes & Tsunamis

This disastrous event has left a death toll of 1,ooo people and climbing.
The world has come together in peace and support for this crippled community.

Thus far, there has been a report of over 40+ multi-tremors, called after quakes.
The Following videos have left the world in awe and stunned.

As I watched the whole ordeal unfold, I grabbed heart in sigh for those being washed away
while still in their vehicles...with no clue of what was to come. I saw it coming. I wish I could've stopped it.

I send my most heartfelt condolences to the people of Japan.
You have my Heart.
You have my Love.
You have my Prayers.

Attached are videos of the event.
