    DigitalGlobe's satellites captured images of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant before and after an explosion at the No. 3 reactor building on March 14, 2011. The images from 1 minute before show the intact No. 3 reactor building, while images from 3 minutes after show substantial damage, including the building's roof and walls blown off and a smoke plume drifting east for 2 kilometers. This was the second major explosion at the facility following one at the No. 1 reactor building on March 12.

    On March 14, 2011 between 11:00 and 11:04 AM local time (02:00 and 02:04 GMT), DigitalGlobe’s constellation imaged
    the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant twice--approximately 1 minute before (see page 5) and approximately 3
    minutes after (see slides 6,7 & 8) an explosion at the No. 3 reactor building. This is the second major explosion seen at the
    facility, following the explosion at the No. 1 reactor building on March 12, 2011 (see page 4).

    Substantial damage could be seen to the reactor building, including the upper structure being largely destroyed with the
    building’s roof and side panels blown off. In addition, an extensive smoke and dust plume could be seen drifting east
    approximately 2 kilometers from the damaged reactor building.

    Subscribers to DigitalGlobe’s FirstLook service have unprecedented access to pre-and-post event satellite imagery, like that which was used in the creation of this
    report. Please see DigitalGlobe.com/FirstLook or contact DigitalGlobe Customer Service at +1 303.684.4561 for additional details and ordering information. Coming
    soon, subscribers to DigitalGlobe’s new FirstWatch service will also be able to receive detailed imagery analytic reports that spotlight significant activity seen in the
    crisis-associated imagery.
