“My dad went to the nuclear plant. I never heard my mother cry so hard. People at the plant are struggling, sacrificing themselves to protect you. Please Dad, come back alive.” – tweet from Nekkonekonyaa, daughter of a Fukushima worker

And that he and the others make it home to their children and wives.
