REUTER’S STORY is up now:
EU energy chief says Japan reactor “out of control”
(Reuters) - Europe’s energy chief warned on Wednesday of a further catastrophe at Japan’s nuclear site in the coming hours but his spokeswoman said he had no specific or privileged information on the situation.
“In the coming hours there could be further catastrophic events, which could pose a threat to the lives of people on the island,” Guenther Oettinger told the European Parliament.

Based on that line you should ask the mods to pull this journalistic exercise in yelling "FIRE!" in a crowded theater.
Or - They’ve done everything than can, now it’s just a matter of letting it cool down naturally.
Apparently whats out of control is his mouth. He has no information to make him say that according to his spokesperson.
Sigh.
See post 14. Turns out the jackass has no information at all...NONE...that supports his assertion. Just a fool confirming he’s a fool.
This jerk is talking out of his ass. Figures Rueters would be quick to run with this kind of unsubstantiated fear mongering.
I keep seeing words like “could”, and “might”, but rarely words like “will”, and “are”.
And in saying this, he sent stocks plummeting until the word got out that he was talking out his anal orifice.
Even so...we need RELIABLE info as to what is REALLY going on. Unfortunately, I don’t think TEPCO or the Japanese government is going to provide that any time soon.
That’s it? That’s all he has, and he makes an inflammatory statement like that!? Just damn.
Someone needs to slap this idiot attention whore silly and tell him to sit down and shut up.
Good sites for real info:
“In the coming hours there could be further catastrophic events, which could pose a threat to the lives of people on the island”
Just that little island? You’re letting a crisis go to waste, sir. It should threaten the lives of people everywhere. Iodine pills for the globe! I don’t care if you’re high in the Rocky Mountains, at an Antartic reasearch site, 20,000 leagues under the sea, or in the international space station. You might die!
I’m guilty of focusing on “out of control”; and then I reread the first part of the title—what a waste of time. Guess the EU guy wanted to his name in the media.
“(Reuters) - Europe’s energy chief warned on Wednesday of a further catastrophe at Japan’s nuclear site in the coming hours but his spokeswoman said he had no specific or privileged information on the situation.”
This is a highly irresponsible announcement from a government official.
