News in Japan

In the past 140 years Japan has not met such a massive 8.9/9.0 magnitude earthquake which hits the Pacific Ocean nearby Northeastern Japan at around 2:46pm on March 11 (JST) causing damage with blackouts, fire and tsunami. Again the third blast strikes Japan’s tsunami-damaged nuclear plant, raising new radiation fears. The government says this radioactive material leaking from reactors was enough to “impact human health” and the risk of more leaks was “very high.” Japan’s meteorological agency reported that the prevailing wind in the area of the stricken plant was heading east into the Pacific, which would help carry away any radiation.
