Powerful earthquake hits Japan

[Lucky]

I read about "The 50" yesterday. Talk about going above and beyond .... and to be one of their family members would be tough. The words Bravery and Heroism don't even begin to cover it.

I hope that major meltdown can be avoided and that the Japanese can stop worrying and finally start recovering from this disaster.

Right now , however , my thoughts -and I hope yours - are with the technicians who are being rotated in and out of that place likely getting a years dosage of radiation in 2 hours and no idea of what that will mean but doing it anyway .

Everytime I see or hear about those technicians willingly going back into those plants, I have to have nothing but respect for them. It takes a very special kind of person to be able to be that self- sacrificing.

The whole incident is still just horrifying

I've often said the word hero is often overused today , but not in this case . They are not only helping Japan , but perhaps the entire world to varying extents .

You bet...
