This mess at Fukushima-1 is not the real story, no matter what anyone on the news is saying. It's not exactly sunshine and rainbows and little fluffy bunnies, but it isn't the real tragedy.
It's still winter, and it's cold in Japan right now. There are a lot of people without homes, living in shelters. Nobody knows when they're going to get another shipment of supplies in. Nobody knows when the lights are going to go out next. There are a lot of people who have to deal with the reality that they don't have a home, or a hometown, anymore.
This is what ten meters of water does to a coastline.
I can't think of anything to say that doesn't involve endless rolling repetitive expletives.
EDIT:
Something that I've seen before struck me as apt. A quote from "The West Wing" that came to mind while I was getting pissed off reading about some truly SICK FUCKS who seem to think that this is some kind of divine punishment from God on the Japanese.
"Haec credam a deo pio, a deo justo, a deo scito? ... Cruciatus in crucem! Eas in crucem!"
("Am I to believe that these are the acts of a loving God? A just God? A wise God? ... To hell with your punishments! To hell with you!"(literally - "may you go to a cross"))
