Video Footage of Nuclear Reactor Explosion at Fukushima
This is footage from the explosion at the Fukushima power plant's No. 3 nuclear reactor on Sunday March 13, 2011.
Since then the situation at the Fukushima power plant has continued deteriorate. There have been multiple explosions and fires, the emergency workers at the plant have been reduced to 50, and the evacuation zone has increased to 12 miles.
Meanwhile, the International Atomic Energy Agency's director will be flying to Fukushima to assess the situation -- a sign perhaps that the situation is becoming more critical. Even more, the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission has told Congress the radiation threat at Fukushima is greater than Japan has publicly stated.
