US Military Offers Help

Breaking News: At 15:48 on March 16th the US military decided that it would allow the members of TEPCO to use the military water pump vehicles to spray water on the overheating reactors. Tthe US military will not be performing this act themselves. If this is not successful, the Japanese SDF (Self Defence Force) will then consider the possibility of using military helicopters to drop water from above onto the reactors. Currently there is a snowstorm in the area which prevents helicopters from flying, therefore the US military is not able to make any decisions at the current time regarding the use of helicopters.
Update: At 16:16 the Japanese SDF began preparing their helicopters to send them into the skies above the reactors in order to drop water on the reactors.
Comment: I guess the water pump trucks aren't having the desired effect...
