Japan raced to avert
a nuclear meltdown today by flooding a nuclear reactor with seawater
after Friday's massive earthquake left more than 600 people dead and
thousands more missing. Towns in the country's northeast coast were
literally wiped away by an ensuing tsunami, leaving countless people
seeking shelter in the aftermath of the quake, which measured 8.9 on the
Richter scale and was the country's strongest recorded quake. --
