    I hate to live with the thought of the consequences of a nuclear reactor malfunction. Putting into context not only Japan, but also what happened in Russia in 1986? Moreover the possibility of sabotage by an enemy still stands. ($<Gary>$)

    Robert works in the Fukushima district. He contacted to the 大象传媒: "We heard that some areas have been evacuated, but we were not asked to leave. We were staying 90km away from the power plant. But three friends and I decided we would feel a lot safer if we moved further away from the plant. So all four of us drove 45 minutes south, and are now staying in a hotel. I didn't see any sign of panic on the roads, there seemed to be as much traffic travelling in the opposite direction. Things are disturbing because there is a lack of information. And as a foreigner it's even harder to work out what is fact and what is hearsay.

    Dennis in Nigeria emailed WHYS: It appears the media are being carried away by the explosion at the Fukushima reactor. Please stay with stories highlighting the people's need for help.
