More than 14,000 dead or missing in Japan Updated Thu 17 Mar 2011, 8:57pm AEDT The official number of people dead and missing after the earthquake and tsunami that flattened Japan's north-east coast has hit 14,650, police said, a rise of nearly 1,000 in just a few hours. The number of confirmed dead from Friday's twin disasters rose to 5,321, while the official number of missing increased to 9,329, the national police agency said in its latest update. A total of 2,383 people were injured in the disaster. But reports have indicated that the final toll could be much higher. The mayor of the coastal town of Ishinomaki in Miyagi prefecture said late Wednesday that the number of missing there was likely to hit 10,000, Kyodo News reported. On Saturday, public broadcaster NHK reported that around 10,000 people were unaccounted for in the port town of Minamisanriku in the same prefecture.

Choppers, trucks douse stricken nuke plant Hayden Cooper, staff Updated Fri 18 Mar 2011, 2:12am AEDT Japan is making a last-ditch attempt to cool stricken reactors at its Fukushima nuclear plant, but efforts so far appear to have had little effect. Special military fire trucks unleashed jets of water on a damaged reactor at the quake-hit plant on Thursday, after police were earlier forced to withdraw their own water cannon from the scene due to high levels of radiation. While police must be outside to use their vehicle, the military vehicles are built to allow personnel to remain inside. As well as water-spraying trucks, four twin-rotor Chinook helicopters from the Japan Self-Defence Forces flew water bombing missions over the plant, emptying tonnes of water onto reactors which have been overheating since being damaged by last Friday's earthquake and tsunami. But there are serious doubts the water drops will have any major effect, with the amount of water each chopper drops a fraction of what is needed to fill the pool. -ABC/wires
The Girl Who Loves to Levitate (14 photos) Natsumi Hayashi is a sweet-looking Japanese girl who, one day, decided to take self-portraits..of herself levitating. She can be spotted in and around Tokyo, equipped with her SLR and her self-timer. When she feels the moment strike, she presses the shutter button down and then, quite literally, "jumps" into place. What I love most about her shots is that they don't feel forced. When I asked her how others react to her jumping around Tokyo, here is a funny story that she shared. "So I stopped jumping and apologized to them by saying, 'I am taking jumping photos for my wedding party's slide show.' "Then, I took one of the best levitation shots of the entire series." "We are all surrounded by social stress as we are bound by the forces of earth's gravity," Natsumi says when asked why she took on the series. Natsumi Hayashi's website
Bing says sorry for #SupportJapan stunt following Twitter backlash Straight from the Kenneth Cole School of Capitalising On Human Suffering To Promote Your Brand comes Bing‘s #SupportJapan campaign, which this weekend offered to donate $1 to Japanese earthquake victims each time their original post was retweeted. While many people dutifully retweeted the message, including US broadcaster Ryan Seacrest with his 4 million follower count, others were questioning why a charitable donation had to be dependent on promotion of the Microsoft search engine. A #fuckbing hashtag quickly appeared with people commenting that they were appalled at Microsoft trading retweets for humanitarian aid (above) and suggesting that the company should just donate the money rather than try to gain publicity from the campaign. US comedian Michael Ian Black, with 1.6m followers, put it succinctly: ‘Hey @bing, stop using a tragedy as a fucking marketing opportunity.’ And at least it didn’t make matters worse by deleting the original tweet, à la Sarah Palin.
Авария на японской АЭС: что произошло на самом деле? Атомная электростанция «Фукусима» отныне прочно ассоциируется у всех с одной из самых серьезных аварий на АЭС, пусть оценить ее масштабы сейчас еще довольно сложно. Пусть возможные последствия происшествия на японской АЭС «Фукусима» оценить пока еще довольно сложно, это название прочно закрепилось в умах людей как синоним серьезной ядерной аварии, наравне с американским «Три-Майл-Айленд» (1979 год) и советским Чернобылем (1986 год). Ситуации был присвоен 4 уровень по международной шкале ядерных событий (INES), что стало худшим инцидентом за историю японской ядерной промышленности. Аварии в США в свое время был присвоен 5 уровень, тогда как Чернобыль получил максимальный 7 уровень. Во Франции происшествия 4 уровня были зафиксированы на старых моделях реакторов АЭС Сен-Лоран-Дез-О в 1969 и 1980 годах. Так что же на самом деле случилось в Фукусиме, которая расположена всего в 220 километрах от Токио? Однако после землетрясения электросеть пришла в негодность.
