New Geiger Counter site:

Normal range is usually under 60 CPM. Over 130 is not good.
100 CPM is equivalent to 1 microsievert or 0.1 millirem.
The dangerous level recorded at one of the reactors this morning was 400,000 microsieverts.

Surely they have a good understanding of how many people are missing by now, right?

Anyone seen that number?

You're going to see that we can't trust these numbers just yet. Not for casualties, missing, threats (radiation), progress, or just about anything else for that matter.

I think that by the time this is all settled, we'll see a loss of over 100K... bodies still yet to be recovered/counted, radiation, disease, hunger, etc.

Sendai has (had) a population of 1million. So I certainly won't be surprised at that number.

2,700 already dead, devastation in the possible hundred billions, freezing temps setting in, and oh yea, a nuclear meltdown.

That place is hell on earth.

We are very lucky this did not happen here in the U.S!

Man, those markets are rough! Japan's Nikkei stock index nose-dived nearly 11 percent and the other Asian markets are getting beat down.

I wish they had one setup in the evacuation zone near those plants with a live feed. I bet it would have tens of thousands of people glued to their computers watching it.

EDIT: I just realized that the one linked above in Tokyo currently has 19,000+ people watching it.
