Rather moving. The beam of light shooting straight up into the sky and occasionally reflecting off the clouds adds yet another dimension to the white light effect.

We won't forget what happened a year ago. We're still praying for you Japan.

The waves devouring the coastline, so monstrously... An image engraved into my mind, one I most assuredly will never forget.

Time has gone by so fast... Probably because the media laid it down a bit, in my opinion, prematurely, leaving the masses to forget about it amongst everything else going on in the world... "The second worst nuclear disaster, which resulted from one of the most powerful earthquakes ever recorded, just happened four months ago... Let's forget about the whole thing. We've got American stuff [bullcrap] to cover." Rolling Eyes This deserved coverage to the nine's, from any media outlet anywhere in the world.

first time I've seen footage of the Sky Tree lit. Lit like that it's as unimpressive as it looks during the day. I guess i thought it have more lights or something.

But that's why news is called just that. 4 months ago was only "news" four months ago. This tragedy will be in the news for it's recovery for a long time expecially Fukushima Daiatsu Nuclear Power Station. and 15 miles around it that will remain a no-man's-land for a very long time, just like Chernobyl where even the blades of grass still buzzes at 250mSv(seivert) for a 30km radius.

Haven't nuclear physicists predicted the effect of Fukushima Daiatsu won't be NEAR as bad as Chernobyl was?

I'm glad that someone mentioned the firebombings of Tokyo because frankly, I'm not sure if there are any buildings left in the eastern part of that city that pre-date World War II. Sad
