Fukushima, Japan: It is decided to dump water from above from Chinook helicopters on reactors number 2 and 4 to cool them and prevent the core from melting. Then an attempt is made by having fire trucks approach with a powerful water cannon, but both attempts fail repeatedly, due to the high levels of radioactivity. It is suspected, however, that 70% of the uranium rods of the 2 have already melted. Visible clouds of steam (probably radioactive) rise from several damaged reactors. A Global Hawk drone is used by the American military, at the request of the Japanese government, to take high-resolution infrared images of the inside of the reactors.
