Are we aware of how much the infrastructure has been damaged yet? Are aftershocks still going?
Subway & bus lines are still down. Fire at the nuke plant has been put out, no radiation detected, but they still evacuated a couple thousand residents because the backup generator failed & the water pump is not pumping. The Japanese gov't has sent troops into some areas, asked Washington to let the US service men in .jp (about 50K) help. I don't know if D.C. has agreed, but I can't imagine Obama would say no. A few hundred bodies have been found so far. It is very bad. But it could have been worse, the Japanese are very well prepared (building codes, emergency procedures, etc.). -- TTFN, patrick
