No, carp. lan is still living in Japan. Trust me on this. I emailed him yesterday am ~ knowing that everything in Tokyo is probably still down. But if I hear back . . . and I'm sure hoping I do. We've stayed in touch, so it's not like he'd wonder who the hell Lea is.

Very heavy sigh, but with fingers crossed and prayers said. Gotta cover all the bases, huh?

lanovami, that's correct. He teaches English, although he got some kind of job shift last fall and was really happy with it. He and his wife have a son, he's 11 now. I know that lan and family visit the States once a year and stay with his family, up north somewhere, can't remember right off.

I've always said that nations on known geological fault lines should think carefully before locating and constucting nuclear plants.

Apparently it is now the No. 3 reactor whose cooling system has failed and the initial reactor in question was cooled down with seawater.

And KM: Yeah, that's true, but hindsight, for all we know. wink
From what I know, this is a 40 year old plant that has managed to withstand an 8.9 quake and a tsunami now. Impressive actually.

BBC's take
Reuter's take.

It's a terrible irony that Japan is no stranger to nuclear catastrophe. There has to be an unspoken refrain of "Oh no, not again". frown
