Claims that this smoke is from Fukushima Nuclear plant are popping up, I believe the picture used is misleading.

The picture is of the town and area of http://geography.about.com/od/japanmaps/a/sendai-japan.htm Sendai is a city located about 80 clicks to the north of Fukushima Many sites are posting this as recent drama when in fact its 2011 picture of quake aftermath.

Not the biggest bunk about but is my 1st attempt while getting the feel of posting here.

[Addendum]

The photo is from wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:SH-60B_helicopter_flies_over_Sendai.jpg
English: An SH-60F helicopter assigned to the Chargers of Helicopter Antisubmarine Squadron (HS) 14 from Naval Air Facility Atsugi flies over the port of Sendai to deliver more than 1,500 pounds of food to survivors of an 9.0 magnitude earthquake and a tsunami.
