The Lede: New Video of Japanese Nuclear Plant - New York Times (blog)

My colleagues Hiroko Tabuchi, Keith Bradsher and Matthew Wald report on the front page of Wednesday's Times on a critical failure that led to the explosions at the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, after the earthquake and tsunami in March.
