Japan is currently conducting a massive military rescue of the people stranded on streets, roads, parts of bridges, and rooftops. Japanese officials said that more than 1000 people have been found dead. They still do not have a definite number for those who are unaccounted for. Due to the vast inland devastation caused by the tsunami, the officials may never have a definite number of missing people.
A huge explosion has been recorded at a Japanese nuclear power plant damaged by the Friday 8.9 magnitude quake. Prime minister Naoto Kan has declared a state of emergency at the Fukushima number 1 and 2 power plants just so scientists can verify whether a meltdown truly took place.
Keep in mind that the offshore earthquake triggered a tsunami which wreaked havoc on Japan's north-east coast, sweeping far inland and devastating a number of towns and villages.
