Helicopter video of Japan’s troubled Fukushima Nuclear plant from yesterday indicates how extensive the damage at the plant is from the earthquake, tsunami and subsequent explosions.
According to reports, the video was shot about 32 hours ago by a Tokyo Electric Company employee in a Japanese Self-Defence Helicopter surveying the plant. The editors of the video highlight the Fukushima 4 nuclear reactor, which holds the spend fuel rods and looks absolutely destroyed.
It’s a rare up-close view of the plant we’re now only seeing from a long-range for safety reasons and it’s an extremely disheartening one.
