Due to insufficient information, one of the five reactors is starting to sound more and more like Three Mile Island. Apparently at least one meter of the boron rods are above water. And some melting has already occured inside that reactor core.

Viewing some numbers. The first quakes was 7.1. About 47 more quakes followed in those three days. Then an 8.9 quake happened. Since the big one, I counted another 190 earthquakes in the Sendai region.
