I've been hearing a lot about the "Great East Japan Earthquake." What is the situation in Japan now?

The earthquake and tsunami caused a lot of damage to buildings, roads, railways, and other infrastructure. Many people were killed or injured. There are still aftershocks happening every few minutes. The nuclear power plants at Fukushima are still leaking radiation into the air, water, and soil. People are being evacuated from the area around the plant.
