Firefighters' key Fukushima mission

One of the key tasks in preventing the risk of nuclear meltdown at the Fukushima nuclear power station in Japan a year ago, was carried out by a team of Tokyo firefighters.

In dangerous radiation levels, the men mostly over 40, had just 60 minutes to lay 800m of fire hose to help pump sea-water from the coast to the reactor buildings.
