Japan Nuclear Disaster Coverup: New York Times
On March 25th, NY Times posted article with the following paragraphs (original post):
Hidehiko Nishiyama, deputy director-general of the Japan Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency, mentioned damage to the reactor vessel on Friday as a possible explanation of how water in the adjacent containment building had become so alarmingly radioactive. A senior nuclear executive who insisted on anonymity but has broad contacts in Japan said that there was a long vertical crack running down the side of the reactor vessel itself. The crack runs down below the water level in the reactor and has been leaking fluids and gases, he said.
The severity of the radiation burns to the injured workers are consistent with contamination by water that had been in contact with damaged fuel rods, the executive said.
“There is a definite, definite crack in the vessel — it’s up and down and it’s large,” he said. “The problem with cracks is they do not get smaller.”
Within a day, much of these paragraphs were removed:

They removed the admission that the reactor vessel was cracked. It is obvious to most experts now, that given the current levels of radiation in these buildings, more than one reactor vessel has been breached.
