Tragedy In Japan

I found the following video clips that shows the power and destruction of the earthquake and subsequent tsunami in Japan.
And on top of everything else, the Japanese people are having to deal with serious issues concerning their nuclear complexes.
As was reported in an AP report shown on AOL.... "By Monday, officials were overwhelmed by the scale of the crisis, with millions of people facing a fourth night without electricity, water, food or heat in near-freezing temperatures."
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Japanese people.

Please be advised...some portions of these videos may be difficult view
