I heard something about the moon coming closer to Earth than usual in several days and causing a chain of freak natural disasters. I personally find that to be a crock of bullshit.

Looks like a possible Three Mile Island event is imminent over there.

It's not as if people haven't died before, it's pointless to get too attached because you can't save em anyway.

I read about that in the newspaper. That said much the same, that it was a crock of bullshit, nothing to do with the earthquake.

That's because it is bullshit. The moon is slowly pulling away from the earth.

Reactor 3 Building has now exploded:

Reactor 2's suppression pool has now exploded with a high chance that it's containment shield has been breached; and Reactor 4 building has an out of control fire inside it and possibly leaking radioactive material too. They're evacuating all but 50 workers at the plant and people between 20-30 kilometres away are told to stay indoors. Radiation reading around the plant have reached up to 100 millisieverts (100,000 microsieverts) which is dangerous to human health.

TL;DR: Japan is very likely fucked.

EDIT: Now it's 400 millisieverts, but I can't confirm that.

By the way, that's only from Fukushima Nuclear Plant no.1 which houses those 4 reactors, Plant no.2 is also likely experiencing significant problems too but is under reported.
