good thing japan has this shit on lock

i don't think Japan has this "locked down", and i don't think it was originally "media-hyped" - if anything, the japanese media under reported to keep hysteria down . . .

wow!

MINAMISOMA, Japan -- A Japanese man who was swept 9 miles out to sea by Japan's deadly tsunami was plucked to safety Sunday after being spotted clinging to a piece of wreckage, officials said.
A Maritime Self-Defense Force destroyer rescued 60-year-old Hiromitsu Shinkawa after discovering him floating on a piece of roof in waters off Fukushima Prefecture, two days after the disaster struck.
The man, from the city of Minamisoma, which was virtually obliterated, was swept out along with his house after the massive tsunami tore into Japan's northeast, following an 8.9-magnitude earthquake Friday.

Long story short, I thought I messed up, deleted it, then reposted it when I figured out the problem.

I'm beginning to think CNN gets its news anchors from a temp agency. Earlier they were "breaking" news that was up on the feeds of Reuters, AP, and BBC hours before.

For those who use twitter I have a news list if you are interested.

USS Reagan sailed by a radioactive cloud exposing members on deck to a month's worth of radiation in an hour.

The Pentagon was expected to announce that the aircraft carrier Ronald Reagan, which is sailing in the Pacific, passed through a radioactive cloud from stricken nuclear reactors in Japan, causing crew members on deck to receive a month’s worth of radiation in about an hour, government officials said Sunday.

The officials added that American helicopters flying missions about 60 miles north of the damaged reactors became coated with particulate radiation that had to be washed off.

American Navy officials in Japan said early Monday that 17 military personnel who had been aboard three helicopters assisting in the earthquake relief effort had been exposed to low levels of contamination.

This is bad!

How will rescue efforts be able to get to these radioactive places without being harmed?

CNBC's Kudlow on Japan Quake: Be Grateful Human Toll Much Worse than Economic Toll

I did not mean to say human toll in Japan less important than economic toll.Talking about markets.I flubbed the line. Sincere apology.

Of course everyone is going to run with it.

By walking. Or driving. Or if they're feeling lazy, taking a chopper.

From an industrial, scientific or engineering standpoint the released radiation is significant, but not from a health standpoint.
