Cooper on Nuke Plant Blast: Time for Me to Leave?

Not two months after he and his crew were attacked while covering the protests in Egypt, Anderson Cooper once again put himself in (or near) harm’s way, this time to cover the Japan earthquake. While reporting on the situation at the Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear plant, Cooper received word of the second explosion, and promptly interrupted his interview with a nuclear expert to ask his crew how far they were from the plant and which direction the wind was blowing.
