From NISSAN NEWS

MEDIA ADVISORY: EARTHQUAKE IN JAPAN AND IMPACT ON NISSAN OPERATIONS (UPDATE)

During the overnight hours in the Americas, northern Japan was hit with an 8.9-magnitude earthquake, and numerous tsunamis are causing heavy damage across the Pacific coastline in Asia. Additionally, tsunami alerts have been issued for communities along the entire North America Pacific coastline.

At this time, we are currently confirming the safety of all Nissan employees and continue to assess the situation at our Japanese facilities, but we do not believe our operations have been significantly affected. Here in the Americas we are operating normally and we do not anticipate any immediate impact on Americas operations, facilities, dealers or customers.

Operations have been suspended at Nissan’s Japan plants through Sunday, March 13. Nissan’s global headquarters building in Yokohama was not significantly affected, is safe and operational. So far, there are no reports of employee casualties and employee safety precautions are underway at all locations. Nissan’s team in the Americas will monitor the operational status of our Japan facilities through the weekend for any scheduling updates.

CNN just showed cars very similar to this-but they are on fire.

There are stirrings of a potential radiation leak in the making. Not good:

Me too, I'm wondering whether the US fleet heading there is laden with nuclear specialists?

not sure why there would be nuclear specialists.. the japanese specialists would be equally good if not better? this isnt Turkey or something!

what i'd be worried about is a major aftershock creating another tsunami that hits the US ships.

Additional containment resources and skill-sets.

P.S. Zero inferences as to the abilities of the Japanese people as I worked hand-in-hand with them on an executive level. Top-shelf.

oh SH*T.

Govt. orders 'unprecedented' release at Japan nuke plant; radiation 1K times normal -

Quote:

T: Japan's nuclear safety agency is preparing to issue what Kyodo News called "an unprecedented order" directing the Tokyo Electric Power Co. to open a valve at the earthquake-crippled Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant to release pressure from a reactor that is in danger of overheating.

also: beautifully deadly. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-12709856
