Fourth Reactor on Fire

I don't even know where to begin:

Japan spokesman says 4th reactor at damaged nuclear plant on fire, more radiation released.

And this:

Kyodo: BREAKING NEWS: Hydrogen explosion occurs at Fukushima No. 4 reactor

When they started having problems after the earthquake my assumption was it would be a little tricky but within a few hours they'd be able to get the thing under control. Now it looks like the whole Japanese nuclear industry is circling the drain, and with it a major portion of Japan.

UPDATE:  Fire now reported out.  I wonder how many firefighters have been exposed to serious amounts of radiation?
