Stricken Japan nuclear plant rocked by 2nd blast

   OK, so we all know about the 8.9 magnitude earthquake that hit Japan last Friday, right? Well, that earthquake also did some damage to the nuclear plants that power them. On Saturday, at 7:40 a.m., the first explosion happened. One of the buildings containing a reactor blew up, forcing everyone in a 12 mile radius to evacuate. As far as I know, it didn't do anything to the reactor, so only minor radiation went out. Then, earlier today, around 1 a.m., Unit 3 of the same plant exploded, damaging the reactor and fully exposing the fuel rods. This can lead to meltdown and massive amounts of radiation pouring into the air.

   A video on the site says that the explosion happened because hydrogen reacted with oxygen in the air, causing BOOM!!! It also explains how the reactor works and what a meltdown is. Japanese officials have lost the ability to cool Unit 2. They are going to poor seawater into it, which may cause another big BOOM!!! It's either that, or total meltdown and radiation going all OVER THE WORLD due to the Jetstream. YAAAAAYYYYYY!!:( Let's hope it don't happen.
