Wow, I'm trying to watch the coverage on CNN because Oreilly is currently on Fox and isn't saying anything current, but I swear Anderson Cooper must be drunk, he cannot even complete a sentence. He is starting to sound like that chick that (supposedly) had a stroke on live TV. The only other choice is to watch MSNBC, which isn't going to happen.

CNN is reporting they have suspended operations at the nuclear plant.
The last 50 employees left.

They are having a press conference on NHK. The radiation levels have declined and teams are returning..

However there is smoke coming from one of the reactor buildings. They are currently saying that they don't know what is in the smoke or where it is coming from. They think it is coming from reactor 3. However they believe the radiation is coming from reactor 2.

I had a message on my cable box that Verizon is offering customers the Japanese programming for free while all this is happening. Just thought I'd mention it, thought it was cool of them to do so. Never really hear about the little things like this that corporations do to help.

I am pretty sure it means that they are giving up on trying to cool them down because the radiation is too high for people to be close to it, or someone realized it is useless to continue trying.
