Confusing "Timely" Updates

3/17 9:49am At Just after 9am on Thursday March 17th, the police were preparing to use specialized police water trucks (cam: water cannons regularly used to disperse demonstrators??) to spray water into a hole in #3 reactor of the Fukushima Dai Ichi nuclear plant.
3/17 9:48 BUT... at 9:48 the news says that the SDF have started to drop water down the holes in the same reactor.
And then earlier news said that the SDF gave up the helicopter idea because it seemed too technically difficult and that the success rate was low.
So as you can see, news is coming in minute by minute but it is also changing... no sense trying to give a play-by-play show... My boss just arrived and brought batteries from Osaka because apparently you can't buy batteries in Tokyo now as everyone is stockpiling them.
