I think its awesome to see how countries come together at a time like this. This should make the United States feel better about themselves also. By helping others, it will give us a good impact and if we are in need of help someone will be there for us.

Absolutely, Kristen. It is very devastating, too, and unfortunate. Most people don't realize that it is in every country's best interest to do so. In this day and age, our economies are much more interdependent and like throwing a pebble into the pond, there will be some ripple effects that will surface within our own economy as a result of the Japanese events.

This volcano affected many airlines and traveling.

Iodine-131 was found in Colorado and Oregon by a monitor in Colorado. The trace amounts of radiation found is about 100,000 times less than the natural radiation we receive from the sun, so it really is no threat.

Two more states Oregon and Colorado join radiation problems with other western states. These radiation problems have spread about 5,000 miles away from Japan.

Helicopters are being used for air support in japan to douse the nuclear reactors to keep the cool so they do not meltdown.

I think that this is good. Japan is already in a horrible situation with the Tsunami and if they had a nuclear meltdown, it would just cause even more damage then what's going on now.

Not much information given although there is an American citizen being detained in North Korea. The United States is working extremely hard to negotiate the Americans release. This wouldn't be the first time North Korea has captured and held an American citizen hostage. North Korea has detained several Americans in recent years, increasing tension levels between the two countries.

They shouldn't do that to Americans. We should have our rights in other countries too.

Just because we are americas it shouldn't give people the right in other countries to treat us like dirt.
