The Washington Post is reporting that Japan's Nikkei 225 recorded one of its largest-ever drops, closing at 8605.15 — down 10.55 percent. Coupled with Monday's 6.2 percent drop, the index has plummeted nearly 17 points in the first two business days since the recent disaster.

Many of the losses were due to a rapid sell-off that occurred right as Naoto Kan warned about the radiation risks following the crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi power plant.
