Yesterday we watched tv most of the day - MSNBC and CNN.

Today, I just couldn't. I did turn it on for an hour, CNN. Wolf Blitzer had the Japanese ambassador on, live, sitting right next to him. I felt so badly for the poor man. His English wasn't great, he seemed no match for Blitzer, and Blitzer kept on about the nuclear plant situation. It was clear he was giving the "party line." He just couldn't cover it

Finally someone sent in a Tweet, and Blitzer asked the man - all his immediate family is fine, but extended family and many, many friends have not made contact w/ anyone.

And more photos, more filming, MORE after shocks, MORE tsunami sirens -- one went off while Blitzer was on, he cut to the on sight journalist for that.

The film of that huge whirlpool, and the small boat being drawn in -- and so many other videos and photos -- seem like special effects from some movie. I have to keep reminding myself, this is REAL!

I had to stop watching, it was just SO MUCH; imagine the people there; they can't take a break from the flattened surroundings.
