The only words that come to me are...My God!  Over and over and over.  :cry:
 
Could this be what the Japanese face in the future?  Chernobyl is classified as a level 7 nuclear disaster and the French equivalent of the NRC is calling Fukushima a level 6.

Horrifying documentary.

I don't know how others feel, but I feel nuclear energy/weaponry is one of the most horrifying creations of humankind.  I hope in my lifetime we're able to rid the world of this scourge.  If not, we'll always live under the dark cloud of its destructive consequences.
