According to NOS - the Japanese government confirms that the number of deaths is now 59.

Right now in Fukushima prefecture 2000 people are being evacuated because of the trouble with the cooling system of the nuclear power plant.

This has pretty much captured the world's attention, as if the world needed more media blitzing. Not to downplay the quake, but...

[The Lawspeaker]

NOS reports 64 people dead. A Japanologist that has joined the broadcast is checking the local Sendai news and it seems to report that "a great number of bodies are washing ashore" which seems to denote that the number of deaths is considerably higher still.

In Spain is being used by socialists for not to mention the anniversary of the Islamic attack of the 11 M.

2011 Earthquake Events

After the March 11, 2011 earthquake, NHK Broadcasting reported that all six reactors shut down automatically, but that electrical problems prevented all cooling pumps for reactor #1 from functioning. Because cooling pumps are needed to reduce residual reactor heat, a nuclear emergency was declared. Under Japanese law, a nuclear emergency must be declared if there is a release of radiation, if there is a dangerous level of water in the reactor, or if the cooling mechanisms fail. However, there is no evidence of any radiation being released.[1] It was the first time a nuclear emergency had been declared in Japan. The emergency cooling systems also were activated for reactor #2. More than 2800 residents living near the power plant were ordered to evacuate
