Why? Did _______ pick them?

Hose rip interrupts water flow to No. 5 reactor at Fukushima, for 3 1/2 hours. Seems to be the only incident today.
"If it hadn't been fixed, the reactor would have reached boiling point about 22hours later... That would cause all its water to ewvaporate, exposing the rods and causing another core meltdown."
"On May 29, unit 5 nearly started boiling after a seawater pump broke overnight and its replacement was delayed until daylight."
Japan Times, Sunday, July 3.

Being an independent newspaper, I prefer the Japan Times to NHK, a government-run source.
