New Aerial footage from the Japan Self Defense Force, taken Sunday, March 27.
There are a number of disconcerting images here, including
• vapor continues to be emitted from several of the reactors
• much closer view of the extensive damage to the buildings where explosions have occurred.
• at reactor number 3, the crain used to transport nuclear fuel assemblies appears to have collapsed into the nuclear fuel pool, making fuel rod
damage almost certain.
• at 2:20 in the video, we are shown what appears to be the “lid” of the containment vessel in the number 4 reactor, lying on its side in a
pile of debris.
