Nikkei Flash Crash - Futures Plummet 16% As All Hell Breaks Loose In Japan
All hell is currently breaking loose following an explosion at reactor #2 and a another hydrogen explosion at reactor #4 per Kyodo, leading to a 16% drop in Nikkei futures as blind panic grips Japan. Kyodo essentially confirms there was a reactor meltdown as radiation levels at Fukushima 3 are now 400 times legal levels. And topping it all Japan's warning that all people within 30 kilometers from Fukushima should stay indoors and that the radioactive winds may reach Tokyo in as little as 8-10 hours. The BOJ has just intervened to prevent the yen from surging, as the following chart shows. Our prayers are with the people of Japan.
Tepco was down 24%, or 500 points, before a circuit breaker was invoked.
We hope our Japanese readers took our advice earlier to evacuate. If not, this is the area that needs to be vacated right now.
The absolutely worst news: NHK saying radiation up to 400mSv at Reactor #3, 100mSv at Reactor #1...That's milli... not micro, or 250 times the maximum reported prior number. Alas, we believe this means the cores have melted.

you short the mkt? making money tonight? .........coming off all high and mighty and inside going YESSSSS my short is working for a change......complete hypocrites out here in the wasteland
MS Erable,
Don't sweat the attack, your words are justified. It's called the diamond tactic an delta technique they are using on you. A thick skin and one counter response to them is more than sufficient.
Thanks, Micheal - I'm good. There's also a large amount of psychological projection in responses from sociopaths such as these. Just tired of the constant hypocrisy everywhere else, and don't care for seeing it from blathering idiots on ZH.
insults are really the best you've got to offer. not once did i insult you until now. you're pathetic.
wtf lol?
What the hell is a troller? Is it someone who trolls?
Bad news.I just found out that gaia considers your species bias so anathema to existence that she is now going to attract a giant asteroid to purge herself to new cleanliness.
Thanks a lot you insensate dolt.
right on place has changed
I guess next time you are in a car accident, you will blame your car.
HINT: Inanimate objects don't have minds.
Why would Gaia give a shit about whales, but wouldn't care about fish? Why dolphins and not cows, or chickens, or deer?
Gaia for lack of a better term does not care about anything but IS EVERYTHING !!! Gaia is balance.....do you believe the human prescence on earth is in balance with nature? thought not
+1 all the way upthread ruffian.
We are nature. It is not us and them or it and us.
But logic runs conter to such concepts, and logic is a prison. Science is the warden and everyone is stuck because the warden hands out conveinent goodies (blinders all, but so comforting).
This is the great reversion to the mean.
ORI
As this bubble pops there will be a lot of pain.
Ori, I confess I'm beginning to lose respect for you. I don't like your anti-science stance. Taking a Marxist view, for the sake of argument, the problem is that science has been co-opted by powerful economic interests. Science per se is not the problem, nor is logic. You seem to be trying to administer a frontal lobotomy to civilization. I suggest you go deep inside yourself and try to find the root cause of your dislike of science and logic. We've already got plenty of ignoramuses in Kansas who don't like evolution. Are you one of those?
You make me want to go out and eat whale meat.
I just fed my dog some whale meat dog food, she loves that stuff. woof woof

you're poisoning your dog with mercury laden flesh... of course we all know you're lying.
Jomama, that is very touching. Thanks for posting that, it made my day. Also like the quote from Darwin.
Your journey has only just begun. There is no vengeance, retribution, or reprisal in Gaia.
By your own assertion, we are also part of nature, and thus cannot be out of balance with it.
Reason- it's your friend!
what you just said is rediculous....if there are too man deer in the forest and they eat all the food then nature culls them via starvation......they are part of nature and "ouit of balance" for a time and nature restores that balance...that is fact....deep thinker you are !!
Spelling flame, douche.
Why don't you go get a room with James Lovelock and Paul Ehrlich.
tectonic plates is bullshit. expanding earth http://www.nealadams.com/nmu.html
Off the med's again?
I like you. Poor me was thinking "this is revenge for the Doolittle raid."
possibly that as well.......these crisis are warning that we are out of balance with nature and if we dont restore that balance ourselves it will be restored for us
New Zealanders don't hunt whales. So why did they just get whacked, dipshit?
did I not say innocents pay the price.....it is innocents in nature that humans torture so Gaia returns the favor. Do you really not value any other species except human? If so thats exactly why the earth is where it is today....dipshit....you show typical zerohedge/commets mindless, poorly thought out retort....really quite disappointing. Gaia will restore balance where it see fit. Your line of deductive reasoning is pointless as none of us understand how everything intertwines.
"Gaia returns the favor"
"Gaia will restore balance where it see fit"
I sat in classes where that retarded shit was taught.
There is no question that gaia is supposed to be a sentient being.
There is also no question that gaia is supposed to be worshipped as a godDESS. Mother Earth, anyone?
Peddle your religion elsewhere.
Shit happens.
And I suppose when Krakatoa blew its top and killed 40,000+ people, it was because the 1883-era Javanese were out of balance with nature too?
There have been several mass extinctions during the history of the earth. Perhaps you'd care to explain in which abstruse way the trilobites were offending mighty Gaia?
None of this is for us to know, reason, thread together. We have been separated from our roots in nature for too long to even feel what the earth is telling us. What happened in NZ is very modest vs the horror movie we are watching in Japan. It is interesting that the heart of the Japanese fishing industry is located at epicenter of this "retribution"?
i am not sure if you are 100% correct about what you are stating, but it rings true to me somewhere inside...
at least it's good to know that there are others out there that have not tightened the blinders completely and have the ability to see things from a potentially broader perspective.
If you want to place a name like Gaia on it, fine. What you're saying is that the planet is interconnected systems governed by the laws of thermodynamics.
Basically, shit has a way of balancing itself out, as sure as your cup of coffee will eventually reach room temperature. It's just that shit doesnt always balance out fairly. The universe cares not. Or, in the Christian idiom, 'God has a plan'. Or, in the semi secular, I-don't-believe-in-God-but-I-believe-in-a-higher-power idiom, 'Everything happens for a reason'.
Or, in the ZH idiom, Thermodynamics bitchez!
yes I only explain it as I am able...theromdynamics bitchez ( replacement for gaia) works for me
Charlie - Charlie Sheen?
Is that you?
Back from the world of hookers and blow?
I guess the takeaway from all this is that everyone is entitled to their opinion, unless you don't like the other guy's opinion. This might not be the moment, and this might not be the forum to discuss this, but in my opinion, whale hunting is beyond the pale. I can foresee no circumstance or situation that should require the silencing of this idea. And tiger and bear farming wtf, is nothing sacred? What's next-- Auction to shoot the last five elephants remaining on the earth, when that day comes?
fail ass dbl post.
I read above and below...dow down X......topix down Y......dollar this, gold that....is this really showing sensitivity to this tradgedy? In fact some here are probably happy but would never admit it because the stock mkt is finally going their way. These deaths and destruction made them some money and I am getting spewed at? Just tryion gto expose people to the idea that horrible tradegies are perpetrated by man on this earth everyday and we should take pause for those actions the same way we take pause for tsumnami
The purpose of me is to become as God is, not as gaia is.
hahahahaha the irony is just too much.
it very well could be that nothing happens for any reason whatsoever.
hell, i wonder if i just fuck everyone over that i can my whole life that nothing bad will ever happen to me in return. it's entirely possible.
but the opposite is possible as well.
I like you, you make me laugh! From movie
"Gung Ho" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b66MXfmJRX8
Excuse me, I'm no expert on the Bible, but I believe that God himself gave us dominion - yes, I believe that was the word used - over the fish of the sea and the birds of the heavens, etc. That doesn't mean I condone cruelty to animals, but I believe we are permitted the use of them. That doesn't mean we can make their lives terrible, but killing them for food is not a sin.
curency swaps

honorable hedge bytches
i dont think many are going to be buying this dip
At this hour: Topix down near 7%.
Hang Seng down 4%.
China CSI 3%
Taiwan 3.5%
South Korea 2.8%
Australia 2%
Singapore 2.8%
Dow futures -245 (2.05%)
ES - 29 (2.35%)
And falling fast.
In a weird way, this is refreshing. The market is finally getting real. It may be manipulated any way, but at least this is what is supposed to happen.
The circumstances behind why the markets are crashing is a terrible tragedy but I agree - this drop feels real. Finally, I'm not insane for thinking the market irrational.
What, the Fed bailed?
Pray for Japan!
That should fix it.
We like to pretend we are significant... in reality we are like fleas on a dog. We are an infinitesimal speck in a tiny corner of an infinite universe. The idea of asking God to help these poor people is the height of irony.
You don't know that.
You don't know that.
Thank you. It is the height of irony and arrogance.
I guess because disasters like these are novelties they warrant prayers for the victims unlike, say, the daily deaths of thousands of children who succumb to starvation and disease.

ETF slaughter coming your way...
can hear those margin calls now
If things get worse (Tokyo irradiated) they are going to have to directly intervene and close the exchange and suspend all currency trading and refuse to honor any trades done overseas. No transfers. Period. Maybe they should have done so already. This could get very bad for everybody. I don't think people understand the consequences of globalization. It's a stupid idea always has been because at its core it assumes nothing ever goes major big time wrong and that people will never have to fend for themselves geographically speaking. Our starving populations won't even have i-Pads to eat like was being joked about. If this turns worse that is. Another large quake 100 miles further South would definitely do us in.
I was unaware you could post such nonsence using stone tablets.
That's fuckin' funny
100 miles further South
And 5,000 further east
would definitely do us in.
Interesting comment. The whole idea behind CMO's etc was to spread the risk so widely that, in effect, it disappears--hence trash gets rated AAA and everyone is happy. Only a cynical few, including, no doubt, the originators of this logic, saw it for the total BS it is. But accepting that logic meant ignoring systemic risk, which is was the root cause of economic meltdown. So in that sense, globalization = systemic risk. The Japanese economy is TBTF, like the 5 big US banks.
So do we know for sure there has been a meltdown? What happens now?
The question is... do you believe they would admit at least 4 reactors were in various stages of meltdown? Everyone in power is in denial.
Ugh.
We don't know about #4, but once the water dries up and the rods are exposed, the containment vessels will quickly be of no use sooner than later. So, they have, or are in the process of meltdown, IMO.
#4 we don't know enough yet
The announcer on NHK just said that the #4 plant caught on fire because the spent fuel got hot and created hydrogen, which ignited. He said the reactor is no longer covered by a building. He was quoting a government source. This is surreal.
Assuming the worst: without any human compassion or polish, you wall off a given circumference around the area. Everyone who was within a given range is already dead, most don't know it, and you can no longer fool yourself about "containing" the problem.
(Just for the sake of throwing it out there. Hell was unleashed, and all you can do if you want to survive is stay far enough away. You can sacrifice yourself to try to add some shielding and make the future suck a bit less for others if that's your thing.)
China hit 3% on a sell...US indexes are going down.
Tyler, you pray? Seriously? I ask because this event has brought about the "no atheists in a foxhole" phenomenon in my circle. I gets my prayer freak-on daily. Vaya con Dios Japones.
There is power in prayer, but people totally misunderstand it. There is infinitely more relief to the person doing the praying than the object of the prayer.
Please elaborate, I'm genuinely interested.
Since you asked, I'll comply. Just a thought I had swirling around. I pray, to some higher being - in my mind - as a focusing mechanism. Praying focuses my mind on the problem; thus, a solution may be found through it. At any rate, I feel better, as do most people who pray.
They won't admit it, but their prayers, say in grief over a sick friend, do more to make themselves feel better (how often do people say, "I'll keep you in my prayers" and other similar things? Subconsciously, they are telling themselves they are doing good.) than any help it offers the sufferer.
I'm not saying there's anything wrong with praying or faith or that people who attend church or pray often are hypocrites, they simply don't understand what they're doing completely.
In a strange sort of way, maybe that's how it actually works. If you get sick and I pray for you, and then you get better, did my prayers work? Probably not. But I felt better doing it, and if I tell you I was praying for you, you'll think I'm a true friend, and maybe, when somebody else gets sick, you'll try it. Nothing wrong with spreading positive karma. Now, karma, that's something I know works, but that's another discussion.
Short version: If you are in pain and I am empathetic and I pray for you, I relieve MY pain. Better than nothing.
Very well said.
I'll add that a part of the relief for the prayer is that they manage to not think about themselves or their own problems, if only for a moment.
Thanks Rick.
I never thought of prayer in these terms. Thank you for taking the time to share your insights.

What's the over under on the number of people, be it one of their stock talking heads or some bulled up guests, who will get on CNBS tomorrow and claim that this is time to buy?
Back to the human side of this, how many of those who need to "stay inside" still actually have shelter. SNAFU indeed. God speed to them...
Tomorrow it'll be different...instead of BTFD its gonna be BTFS (Swan)
BREAKING NEWS: Small amounts of radioactive substances detected in Tokyo
As per Kyodo
NHK just said no increase in their Tokyo monitoring station, a correction from earlier.
I'd sure like to see those dosimeters that were running in the areas around Fukushima...can't find the link
Good luck Japan. This is one American who is pulling for you.
CNBC world just flashed a headline saying that minute amounts of radiation have been detected in Tokyo (40x limits), and energy stocks are essentially bidless. Nikkei -11.5%. Getting real ugly out there...
Godzilla on the way
Reuters carried a French embassy report advising 10 hours before the radiation arrived Tokyo. That would put the arrival time at around the time of the NY open.
Where's Harry Wanger? Last night he said he was going to "back up the truck" and buy stocks.
:-)
He can't find a parking space, it's a huge truck.
LMAO
The tires melted.
I blame all of this on Godzilla and Megalon.
Don't forget Gamera!
I guess I really don't care all that much but since this is Zero Hedge:
Can this blow up the Fed? And/or the bond market?
I'm no expert. But.
There isn't a human on the planet who could work out the effect of this on the aggregate derivative position worldwide.
And of course a computer would just fry its chips trying to do it.
Welcome to a brave new world.
And government bonds are surging. Surely they're going to QE to infinity and beyond after this lot.
A 100,000 square kilometer area of after shocks.
Not sure Japan can survive this.
God Bless....
I always thought "Hope for the best, prepare for the worst" was a pessimistic aphorism I would never see both sides of, and here they are.
Our prep list had most everything - except KI. Iodized salt, bicarb yes. De-contamination supplies? Too draconian...
franz, your water purification pills ARE iodine!
Looks like Uncle Ben now has cove for QE 3, 4, 5, and beyond.
Rickards reported that the Fed now has enough QE to stop cease any new official "QE" programs since the capital flows can proceed in perpetuity to finance $750 billion/yr, though it's really the same thing. They will have their cake and eat it, too.
They're going to need to get baking again - this is going to need a serious amount of cake.
Saying a prayer for Japan tonight....
is it a flash crash if theres a justified reason for the move?
Have you been hiding under a rock? It's down because of the risk of imminent nuclear meltdown.
wasnt it strange that todays trading seemed to be such a ho-hum and now this , which was staring everyone in the face
Europe Enters Unorganized Chaos

Thank you ZeroHedge!!
quick check at finance.yahoo and marketwatch and no mention yet of what's happening. They'll figuire it out by morning I suppose - - -
QE1 and 2 will be gone in the first hour. I'm sure someone will ask if he considered a swan? Doesn't matter throw that on the pile we owe.
Up your a$$ BOJ...thieving bastards! As the regular folk die and all the BOJ can think about is printing record levels of money.
Is that the solution the every catastrophe now whether financial or other?
So what effect will this have on the Yen Carry trade? Commodities should crash as it unravels right?
Not going to trade this, but interested in how the market will react.
US Futures found a bottom at 1261 for now (or at least at Midnight EST)
http://www.finviz.com/futures_charts.ashx?t=ES&p=m5
When this is finally done, most of Northern Japan may be uninhabitable for decades. And it's going to affect everything. Just terrible.
Well that lasted 30 seconds. Going further to 1258 and downward.
I wonder if a 100 point drop in the S&P isn't out of the question?
I know this sounds crazy, but could this entire country (Japan), be destroyed by this event? Is that possible? They are saying that 6 units are in trouble. Many people have been killed already trying to save these units. It is much much worse than Chernobyl ever was. This is a major black swan event of epic Biblical proportions. Will they have to evacuate the entire island? It is insane what I am hearing about this. Those idiots were storing used fuel rods in pools in those buildings. These rods are much worse than the ones they were using for primary rods. Who in their right mind would store such things in these plants? Again ,it is totally insane.
Short answer to the first question is no. But it could be way fucked.
The Civil War didn't destroy the USA, and WWII didn't destroy Germany.
... storing used fuel rods in pools in those buildings ...
Standard operating procedure.
It is much much worse than Chernobyl ever was.
Hyperbole, right?
This is why there is a constant struggle over Yuca Mountain. After screening out all other storage areas for various reasons, its pretty much Yuka or bust.
Uranium based reactors have this problem. My understanding is the rods are "damaged" by use. This is one of the key advantages of a liquid molten salt reactor design, as the fuel can be burned much more completely.
Anyway, as far as the rods go, think of a cigarette. If it hasn't been smoked, you can handle it. If you smoke it, its ash and falls apart. As the fuel in the rods burn up, the rod loses structural integrity just like the cigarette burning up. They only every burn like 30% of the fuel in a given rod before pulling it. Sort of like smoking 30% of the tobacco in the cigarette.
Reprocessing the rods into new rods involves plutonium, which is also produced by burning the rods. Reprocessing is often not done for security reasons.
So they just pile em up on site. Given the age of this site, the amount of fuel laying around is probably a fact we don't want to hear.
Cooter
If they contaminate an area even one-fifth as large as Chernobyl the Kanto Plain, the largest flat arable area in Japan, could be severely affected. In a country the size of Montana.
That is about as bad as it gets without your country being destroyed. Combine a partial loss of Kanto with the tsunami impacts and it's close to a nuclear strike.
Of course the country will go on. The USA would even if we lost both coasts (which was the plan under Mutually Assured Destruction as I am sure you are well aware).
That is the crux of my analysis over the past several days, concluding that all other business should be dropped in order to entomb these units before widespread contamination occurs. The seawater was the last ditch effort, the bottom of the toolbox. OK. Let's move on to the next option, not wait.
Or at least let's see the fucking PLAN for entombments.
They are saying 6 units are in meltdown and are talking about the possibility of this stuff melting down into the earth and what this means? Man this is some insane stuff. Would entombments do any good under such a circumstance? Once it is out of its container, it is free to go wherever it wants , no? they say it will stop in the lower water table whatever that means. This whole area is lost for 25,000 years.
It's not as insane as a thermonuclear war. But it is insane. It's far from clear what might happen if there is a full meltdown and loss of containment. The nightmare has always been molten core hitting water and dispersing widely in a steam explosion. But we don't know a whole lot about dropping large globs of molten metal into random patches of the landscape. Maybe it burns a sort of burrow for itself and just sits there. Who the hell knows? Ever see those crazy fused channels created when lightning hits sand? You can wave them around like tree branches.
Maybe Gaia has a protective mechanism after all.
Maybe the grace of God abides.
Maybe it will just cool down and sit there like a wet firecracker.
Actually, Gaia is just interested in the plastic bags. It is all about the big electron.

Sort of inappropriate, but some levity in times of crisis. And we are insignificant even in our own solar system.
Cooter
Reactors in the US also store spent fuel rods in the reactor building.
Japan is a series of narrow islands. If the wind blows to the west there is the possibility of the contamination making ground travel difficult if not impossible up and down the island chain.
A bigger concern should be for the folks in the northern area who were hard hit by the tsunami. Four days of little food, fuel or shelter with night temps below zero and likely bad or contaminated water supplies. They are going to start loosing tsuanami survivors if they fail to co-ordinate aid deliveries.
Looks like everything is getting sold at the moment....
Of course they are. It's been the most anti-contrarian trade to be bashing bonds.
Why even fucking open the markets!
The whole YEN trade is going to go parabolic, the industries are toasted. A whole country just went tits upand they are still trading this crap?
And pray for all of us, because Hiroshima is paying us BACK in 3 weeks when the radiation hits here.
Thanks General Electric for your shitty generators and machines! Assholes
... in 3 weeks when the radiation hits here.
There has to be an explosion vigorous enough to throw radioactive particles nine miles high to reach the jet stream. Then, the radioactive particles must be numerous enough to survive the dilution of traveling 5,000 miles to the U.S. - for them to be a threat to us. Neither scenario is likely to happen.
I think the US market will close shortly after open
You know it. I think this black swan event will crash our markets too.

This is a great buying opportunity and i believe that...although you may take my "belief system" for what it's worth. I do not aim to "sell you something" as they say but have "full faith and credit" in your ability to decide for yourself and that "indeed you will do so" even in the making of a dishonest buck. America likes nothing better than to "shine itself" and I believe "shine it will." I believe the technical term are "my frienimies" and "that is all I have and all I know."
who's got the link with all the dosimeters all over the region?
BBerg has N225 down "only" 1000 now.
Gold getting hammered, oil, silver, PMs, everything not nailed down...kitco has DXY up .13 lol
yen must wanna go chernobyl
Edit: NHK reporting that Tokyo not seeing increase yet in radiation, other places not seeing it either. Wanna see current dosimeter readings from areas near Fukushima. Reporting is showing exception radiation levels right near the bldgs, but falling off rapidly, thought I heard below 100mSv down in between a couple of the bldgs...dunno about the front gate which was at 8mSv previously. This would help in an understanding of the scope of any propagation of radionuclides
It's time to pull out that mass evacuation plan, maybe move people a few hundred miles away because of the possibility that a big after-shock in the next few days or weeks could turn this from a 4-reactor failure into "end-of-north eastern Japan" scenario. I hope they have some sort of plan, because news feeds keep repeating people in NE are still not getting food and water after 5 days. Japan is long but not wide, they can move people across the western side then move them north or south along the coast. People must be thinking out of the box now, and screw the manipulators, shut the freaking markets down and tell JP morgue to go home.
Isn't it odd that the whole thing happened on 3/11?

Watching the Nikkei tick down on Yahoo Finance... just surreal... finding a few buyers at - 13.2% right now...
The ineptitude is staggering. The tragedy is all too familiar.
As mentioned on an earlier thread, material staging by sea has not even started.
It will continue way past the event too.
Aside from discerning whether the overall positives outweigh the negatives of life, er I mean nuclear power I liken the current reaction on nuclear power to the following: Car accidents in the U.S. used to claim almost 50k people per year. Now its a third of that. An old car on the road that was not maintained very well is involved in a horrific accident and now the future of cars is in doubt. Presidents are announcing and demanding immediate safety inspections - what the hell was being done before? Total lack of instrumentation and enforcement across the board. Zero sense.
Comparing a car wreck to the creation of poisons that can hang around 1000 years? I don't think so. You don't get many chances with a nuclear accident.
They are going to lose the whole facility.
I can't believe the BULLSHIT in the Main Stream Media (MSM)!!!
Hello!?!?!?
I did not just fall off the turnip truck!!!
OMG
Placid video of quiescent reactor tanks taken a couple of years ago trotted out and claimed to be from the #1 and #3 reactors on PBS.
Then, after that, they trotted out JOHN DENVER to beg for donations.
My GOD they are desperate.
I love John, don't get me wrong, but to trot out his REQUIEM performances is a little too much of a hat tip, no?
And...AND
One of the "experts" on the PBS News Hour said "This is Japan's Chernobyl" and talked for a couple seconds then said "...wait...I mis-spoke...this is Japan's Three-Mile-Island". I'm paraphrasing but it was a HUGE Freudian slip and you could see it in his eyes.
Cramer was pumping the markets, equities, CAT, and the "Recovery" as the DOW futures said "-213".
Where is the Mad Hatter? (besides Cramer)...
