Though ATS is generally not about MSM information, this is kind of a special case and any info is relevant at this point, even if it does end up being a rumor. A lot of people have loved ones there and many of us have loved ones in the service that are heading there now. Sorting through the junk could take forever but that is the responsibility of ATS members.(I mean, that is kind of what we do here right?)

From what I understand, it is still winter there. They are talking around 40F in the daytime and just below freezing at night - these people are going to have exposure problems. To live out in those temps without benefit of four solid walls of some type is really very tough under the best of circumstances (I know this from personal experience and my situation at the time was tons better than what these folks are dealing with)..
My heart goes out to these people, I hope search and rescue are able to get to as many as they can
# 0030: Nearly 900 people were killed as a result of the earthquake and tsunami, Japanese national police say.
# 0058: More on those casualty figures from national police: 642 people are also reported missing, with 1,570 injured. The death toll does not include up to 300 bodies found in Sendai, AFP news agency notes.
# 0106: The director general of the UN nuclear watchdog (IAEA), Yukiya Amano, says he hopes the actions taken by the Japanese authorities at the power plant will be successful: "The IAEA was informed by the Japanese authorities that the explosion occurred outside the primary containment vessel at unit one and the integrity of that vessel is confirmed. The IAEA has been informed that sea water with boron is being injected into the vessel as a counter-measure to prevent possible damage to the core. I hope that the sea water will be injected successfully and that the safety of unit one will be established as soon as possible."
