Video: Explosion Causes Radiation Leak at Japanese Nuclear Plant (raw video)

You can see the explosion in the video posted below. The roof blows off one building  and an unspecified amount of radiation is reportedly leaked.
WASHINGTON — An explosion at a nuclear power plant in northern Japan on Saturday blew the roof off one building, brought down walls and caused a radiation leak of unspecified proportions, Japanese officials said, after Friday’s huge earthquake caused critical failures in the plant’s cooling system.
The chief cabinet secretary, Yukio Edano, confirmed earlier news reports of an explosion at the Fukishima Daiichi nuclear plant, 15o miles north of Tokyo, saying: “We are looking into the cause and the situation and we’ll make that public when we have further information.” He was speaking amid fears that a disastrous meltdown could be imminent after critical cooling failures at that plant and another nearby, Daini, after both were shut down.

  1. You bet your life that opponents of nuclear will
    rub their hands with glee and shout; 'We told you so. However. That would be totally wrong. The accident has to be seen in the context of an unprecedented natural disaster, the consequences by far dwarf any damage caused by the nuclear accident.

  2. Corrupt controlled media don't tell the truth.
    Dishonest governments don't tell the truth.
    Containment has been breached.
    Traditional cooling not possible.
    Study prevailing winds.
    Never forget 9/11 lies
