Additional Uncertainty From Japan

The crisis in Japan cannot be minimalized intoa dollars and cents issue. I do not want to be one of the many sites who are only speculating on the financial impacts and ignoring the human interests involved. The situation does bear watcing from a fleet perspective, however.

Fox News ran an article today echoing my earlier sentiments. As the situation revolving around the nuclear power plant slowly unfolds, the impact on the auto industry around the world still waits to be seen. The link http://www.foxbusiness.com/industries/2011/03/16/quake-throws-auto-industry-disarray/ will take you to the news article with good points made about parts and electronics that are supplied from this region that may impact more than just the major Japanese manufacturers.

Along a seperate line of thought I encourage anyone able to donate to the American Red Cross or other established charities that will help provide assistance to the people suffering in this tragedy.
