Imagining the conditions that the "faceless 50" must be working in is an exercise in science fiction, for sure.

Ironic that two energy-related disasters - the gulf spill and now a nuclear plant meltdown - should happen in consecutive years. A reminder of what can happen to complex systems under stress.

The photos look pretty disastery, but I can't say what they are really showing us. The outer shells of the buildings are beat to shit - but it's what we can't see that is the interesting part.

Here's where we all start making godzilla jokes.
