Hmm, not a clue then.
BBC News has reported that a second train is also missing.

1711 GMT: The BBC's Mark Kinver has written an article explaining the "nuclear emergency" declared by Japan's prime minister. The reactors at the Fukushima-Daiichi power station are Boiling Water Reactors (BWR), he says. Heat is produced by a nuclear reaction in the core, causing the water to boil, producing steam. The steam is directly used to drive a turbine, after which it is cooled in a condenser and converted back to water. The water is then pumped back into reactor core, completing the loop. Even when the reactor is shut down and the nuclear fission is halted, an intense level of heat remains and needs to dissipated, which is the role of the cooling mechanisms.

Confirming my previous post on the matter.

This is a sad event, and although I do not believe in the big man upstairs, my prayers go out to all those involved.
Another very sad thing is the amount of absolute scum and trolls on Asura who have been cracking jokes and talking smack about the event, while the death toll is still rising. I only feel shame for such people.

The No.1 Reactor is at risk.

The Tokyo Electric Power Company has said the pressure inside the No. 1 reactor at its Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear plant has been rising, with the risk of a radiation leak, according to the Jiji Press news agency. Tepco planned to take measures to release the pressure, the report added. The reactor's cooling system began to malfunction after the earthquake. People living close to the plant were later evacuated as a precaution.

1720 GMT: Jarrod Lentz, who lives in Tokyo, writes: "The authorities have allowed us to return to our flats. Some people tried to go out and buy food, but found supermarkets were closed. I do not know what to do next. My employers haven't told us to evacuate yet. There is no electricity, water or gas. I'm still bewildered by the fact that the sheer shock of the earthquake made the concrete road outside my window rippled." He also took this picture of a displaced manhole cover. Have Your Say

This should help. It has a BBC News video feed, and the feed I've been posting from. It's not region coded.
This just in...( least from Canadian news point...)

It's a teeny bit behind, but thanks anyways Neon, anyway we can get a bigger picture of what is going on, the better we can understand it.

Yeah, I'll be keeping track of it for as long as I can.

1725 GMT: The celebrity chef, Ken Hom, was staying at a hotel in Tokyo when the earthquake struck. He told the BBC: "We're getting a lot of tremors; they are coming every 15 minutes and the room starts shaking and it's pretty scary, especially when you're on the 20th floor. When the earthquake struck I was in the pool with my partner and the whole thing started rocking, as if you were in the sea. We looked at each other and said: 'This is the big one,' because we have lived in California and we had experienced a small earthquake two days ago in Tokyo. It was really interesting because the whole building seemed to creak, but nothing fell or we did not feel in danger. And after it stopped the pool continued to rock for at least 15 minutes."

1727 GMT: Waves generated by the tsunami can be seen lapping at Ocean Beach in San Francisco on this live stream.
Edit: I'm really sorry mods if you are fussed by the chain of posts (not that any of you have said anything), but I'm trying to keep the thread bumped as news comes in.
Still can't find my osakan friend who's in tokyo... uuuugh.

1730 GMT: The first waves from a tsunami caused by the Japanese earthquake have reached the US mainland along the Oregon coast. The waves were expected to come ashore over a period of several hours, with the highest and most powerful expected at 0930 (1730 GMT), Geophysicist Gerard Fryer at the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Honolulu said high water reached Port Orford at 0730 (1530 GMT). Officials along the coast activated warning sirens hours earlier to alert people to leave low-lying areas.

"I offered our Japanese friends whatever help is needed," he adds. "We currently have an aircraft carrier in Japan and another is on its way. We also have a ship en route to the Marianas Islands to assist as needed. The defence department is working to account for all our military personnel in Japan. US embassy personnel in Japan have moved to an off-site location, and the state department is working to account for and assist any and all American citizens who are in the country."

We have already seen initial waves from the tsunami come ashore on Guam and other US territories, on Alaska and Hawaii, as well as along the West Coast. Here in the United States, there hasn't been any major damage so far. But we are taking this very seriously and we are monitoring the situation very closely. Fema is fully activated and is co-ordinating with state and local officials to support these regions as necessary. Let me just stress: if people are told to evacuate, do as you are told."
@BBCBreaking via Twitter said:
1743 GMT: President Obama's statement concludes: "Today's events remind us how fragile life can be. Our hearts go out to our friends in Japan and across the region, and we are going to stand with them as they recover and rebuild after this tragedy."
