Radiation leaking from the plant reached levels high enough to affect human health - but this warning was later revised as levels fell. The government said the radiation would only be dangerous if people were exposed to it for a sustained period of time.

More than 90 countries have offered aid to Japan ranging from blankets, to search dogs and military transport aircraft as the authorities struggle to cope with the humanitarian crisis.

Thanks for the photos...

It's like a war zone in World War 2...people were injured and killed, no food & water, no electricty, no shelter....people huddling together in fear of another earthquake attack...and now radiation is attacking these victims..

It's scary that in one shot, mother nature has punished Japan repeatedly with these kinds of massive calamities one by one....

Japan's Emperor Akihito speaks during a televised address to the nation in Tokyo March 16, 2011. Japanese Emperor Akihito said on Wednesday problems at Japan's nuclear-power reactors were unpredictable and he was "deeply worried" following an earthquake he described as "unprecedented in scale". It was an extraordinarily rare appearance by the emperor and his first public comments since last week's devastating earthquake and tsunami that killed thousands of people.​
