There is a nice discussion here viewtopic.php?f=42&t=1099386

Started watching it last night at about 2:25 AM EST and just watched the live footage from Japan for an hour straight in awe. Horrible tragedy.

US were sending warships to Japan for help and rescue. Unfortunately I heard on the news this morning the ships aren't going to approach Japan for awhile because of the possible meltdown of the nuclear reactors. It was reported that there is word that 3 US military personnel have been exposed to a significant level of radiation.
