    This the type of sacrifice and acknowledgement of responsibility that is sorely lacking in the U.S.

    Yeah, I saw some similar stories about this in the past few weeks.

    One has to admire how well the Japanese people have handled the disaster and the sacrifices these people are willing to make.

    Everything about the meltdown makes me sad. Especially what seem to be cover-ups and minimization of serious issues.
