Japan

Unfortunatley, the problems in Japan are still growing, as is the death toll. At Rikuzentakata No. 1 Junior High School, 3 students have been confirmed dead so far. oNe of these students was 16 year old, Hiroki Sugawara. His friends and family stood by to mourn his death, but sadly, there isn't enough time for proper funerals(http://www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/asiapcf/03/21/japan.quake.tsunami.funeral/index.html?hpt=C1). We need to remember each victim. They all lived important lives and should not be forgotten.
1 week and 3 days after the disaster, a nuclear scientist said smoke has been spewing from two reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. One of these reactors was Number 3; the reactor that nuclear experts had been watching closely. They feared that a melt down would occur if something were to happen to the third reactor. Unfortunatley, something has. The nuclear experts are saying that there was no spike in radiation which is good(http://www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/asiapcf/03/21/japan.nuclear.reactors/index.html?hpt=T2) Hopefully, this will be taken care of soon. It is our job to stay informed and do what we can to help the Japenese in danger.
8,649 people have been confirmed dead, and still, this number is on the rise. People are slowly losing hope, but continue to search for their missing loved ones. A woman walks the remaining streets with a photo of her husband, constantly asking people in passing if they have seen her husband(http://www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/asiapcf/03/21/japan.disaster/index.html?hpt=T2) This is awful, no one should have to suffer through this. We need to continue helping those in Japan, and understanding that they need time to mourn. They have lost so much, and I don't know how they are managing to be so strong each day.
