Wow, Japan is getting hammered with all this stuff. My thoughts are with them and everyone else who is effected by this.

With regards to the news releases of the nuclear meltdowns. I'm not sure that Japan has any reason to lie regarding what's going on. Through this all, their people have seemed calm. The evacuations were calm, the people waiting on roof tops as the tsunami destroyed their towns were calm.
Most of Japan in the areas that would be in danger doesn't have power anyway. It doesn't seem the way of the Japanese government to rule and control by fear of doom.
Doesn't take much to get the US, UK and other places into a panic with the words "nuclear" and "meltdown". Panic the people, they watch the news, they buy stuff for their fallout shelters, they stockpile on supplies. It's a boost for the economy.
Japan has nothing to gain in any way by panicking the people.

People on Twitter are using the #prayforjapan tag, to promote their websites, or sell some products.
I love how society works "What's happening in Japan right now is awful, let's use this oppotunity to sell some out our crap"

abc.net.au/news is reporting that another strong Earthquake has happened off the coast of Japan. Also here is another video of when the Tsunami hit:

Just saw on CNN that at one of the nuclear reactors at one of the facilities, one of the reactors is smoking and a blast was heard from another....

Possible 3 meter (I think that's 9 feet) wave headed for Japan. For f***s sake they can't catch a break

It won't but try this gem on for size: USS Reagan sailed by a radioactive cloud exposing members on deck to a month's worth of radiation in an hour www.nytimes.com/2011/03/14/world/asia/14plume.html?_r=1I seriously just turned off the news today until now. I just cannot stand it anymore. You just... reach an emotional breaking point where you cannot stomach anymore. My heart is just breaking for this poor country and the worst part is this feeling of helplessness. No amount of money, prayer or good wishes is going to fix this anytime real soon and it is just... it kills you.

Oh, today is supposed to be a holiday there in Japan, I think it is called White Day, according to what I've heard and read, it is after Valentines' Day and like a response to it, because you see in Japan, girls give chocolates to boys and on White Day the boys give marshmallows or cookies since those are white, but these days it could be clothes or anything white. After today it doesn't look like a good one. After all the crap they keep getting I really hope and pray for a quick recovery.

No amount of money, prayer or good wishes is going to fix this anytime real soon and it is just... it kills you. I know. That's been my reaction too. Japan is totally devastated...a war zone where no war save nature vs. man ever took place. And man got his ASS kicked. I...if I could afford to fly over there and help the Red Cross now, I would. In an instant. Because at least then I'd be doing something besides sitting behind a computer wishing them the best of luck, ya know?

Words cannot express the feelings that I have based upon what is going on for them.
First, the earthquake, then the tsunami.
Now, a volanco, more tsunamis, and threats of nuclear meltdowns.
Good lord, can they not catch a break?
