URGENT: Hundreds Of Thousands Ordered To Leave Nuclear Plant Areas

LATEST UPDATE: Nearly 170,000 people have been evacuated from areas around two damaged nuclear power plants as rescue teams have hard time looking for survivors because of aftershocks.

The International Atomic Energy Agency says nearly 140,000 people have been evacuated from areas near two nuclear power plants.
