Japan’s nuclear crisis widened as reactors released radiation into the atmosphere. Government officials have begun evacuations and people are fleeing the area. It is estimated that 500,000 people are housed in temporary shelters because of the tsunami and nuclear crisis so far.
HOPING FOR THE WORST TO END... In this photo combo, the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear complex in Japan is shown on Nov. 15, 2009 in a satellite image provided by GeoEye, left, and on Monday, March 14, 2011 in a satellite image provided by DigitalGlobe. Radiation leaked from the crippled nuclear plant in tsunami-ravaged northeastern Japan after a third reactor was rocked by an explosion Tuesday, March 15, and a fourth caught fire in a dramatic escalation of the 4-day-old catastrophe. The government warned anyone nearby to stay indoors to avoid exposure.
