It's obviously a horrendous state of affairs for everybody, but I feel particularly sorry for the old and infirm. Plus how do families with babies cope? It must just be a nightmare!

Looks like meltdown is becoming unavoidable, perhaps it's just best to evacuate at this point

Yeah if they dont they will look back at these days as time where they could have done their best to evacuate people.... it's just so sad to see this happen.

They showed the wave on Sky News then, it was a wave wave, whoever ridiculed me earlier in the week about it being a wall wave

Well the 2 on the TV from the past few days looked scary..... then the one tonight has done damage to the reactor thing... I wouldnt stay.... although I suppose they are trying not to let it get worse

[Smithy]

I'm surprised the news reporters have gone, with it still being on high alert for another tsunami :/

Is it really worth putting your life at risk to be at the forefront of a disaster
