#Fukushima I Nuke Plant: Vid from NHK Heli Shows Smoke or Steam From Reactors 1, 2, 3, 4

From NHK World (9:31AM JST 3/24/2011):

An NHK helicopter crew has confirmed what appears to be steam rising from No. 1, 2, 3 and 4 reactor buildings at the troubled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.

This is the first time that steam has been seen coming out of the No.1 reactor.

The helicopter crew was filming from a location more than 30 kilometers from the plant shortly before 7:00 AM on Thursday.

The Tokyo Electric Power Company says that black smoke seen rising from the No.3 reactor building on Wednesday was no longer visible as of 6:00 AM Thursday.

(But they've got such bad translators I can't stand them. Speaks volume on the English education in that country. Hire me.)
