Misc:
TEPCO president disappeared off the face of the earth.
Government and TEPCO keep screwing up with radiation readings.
Plutonium isotopes found in the trench of Daiichi 3.
Underground trench at Daiichi 2 has fatal radiation, 4 hr exposure =
death.
Rolling blackouts if hurting manufacturing. It takes hours to set things up again. I.e. bread operation takes 3 hrs to re-setup things after power goes from off to on. Tons of lost productivity.
Tons of food spoilage, farms require energy to power stuff like water sprays. Lots of farmers having to rid of food and milk due to gov't regulations. It gets worse since it is approach peak season in terms of crops.
Sales of frozen vegetables and fish are up.
Some countries are overreacting, saying they are finding radiation in their Japanese imports, despite the fact the time horizon of the food getting there occurred before the god damn earth quake. I am looking at you Singapore. Yes food can have radiation - negligible amounts - it doesn't have anything to do with Fukushima.
Some people have lost everything, including all forms of identification.
Some schools and businesses laid off every worker because their entire buildings were destroyed.
Major international businesses in Tokyo have relocated their employees to Hong Kong, since they already have some buildings there.
Lots of Japanese fled to Hong Kong and South Korea. Moreso the former.
The Gaijins who jettisoned Japan are now called "Fly-jin".
