I still can�t believe how some people are playing down this disaster. Do we need to have one million dead people before you finally realize how serious this situation really is? This disaster is here to stay with us for the years to come and we don�t even know the impact it will have on marine life and the ocean.

| Originally posted by geroin exactly what i've been trying to say for the last 30 pages and all i'm told is i'm overreacting. When all my arguments are proven right i'm sure as hell going to be "putting it in your face" and calling you "stooopid" fucking radiation reached ontario already, how much more needs to happen before people realize the magnitude of this? cancer rates increase or just sudden deaths? |
lol you're hopeless.
I can say exactly the same about you!

| Originally posted by hardcore trancer Running around and screaming might be your way of dealing with a disaster but not mine. The least we can do is to make sure that the people in charge know that they can�t just walk away from this and that they can�t play down this disaster. We are talking about human lives in danger here. We are talking about our world and our environment. This disaster will affect many other generations after we are gone. Also please don�t tell me what I can or cannot do about the relief efforts. How do you know what I�ve done and what I have contributed to help the people in Japan? I don�t have to fly anywhere to help the relief efforts and I can voice my concerns on this matter no matter where I am. |

Are you writing urgng letters to the Japanese govn't? I sure hope you at least donating left and right to the relief efforts! Because your and Gera's broken record of "I can't believe this and I can't belive that" is an empty resonation of cyber air, IMO |
Yah Kris!!!
He TOTALLY flies the Japanese flag on trance addict!!!

| Originally posted by hardcore trancer What is this so called "broken record" that you talk about? You don�t know me that well and you don�t know what I do outside of this site when it comes to politics so please do not make any assumptions here .I do not have to explain myself on public message board about my personal contributions on this disaster. Also Since when did it become a crime for someone to voice their concerns on matter such as this disaster? I have some serious concerns about this disaster and it is perfectly fine if you or other don�t see it that way. |

| Originally posted by FunkyCrew it's not a crime to voice concerns - but all you do is talk and talk and talk "all mouth and no trousers" as my history teacher would say saying that you don't have to explain yourself further ridiculous you and just confirms my assumption that you've got nothing to show for your "efforts" so unless you got something to back your so called concerns, I will call you out on empty statements - you have neither confirmed nor disputed my questions regarding your efforts to help Japan and Japanese people the way I see it, the only thing you're concerned with is that not enough people are jumping on the panic bandwagon |

| Originally posted by geroin lmao, they are still struggling with containing the radiation, the disaster has been upgraded to worst possible + there are traces of radiation around the world and she says we are on panic bandwagon, you really need to wake the fuck up. Sometimes it sounds like you argue just for the sake of arguing just so we can all see what "you think". Like i said previously you're hopeless. Having experienced chernobyl ( you or your family) you out of all should know better. |

National Geographic: Witness Disaster in Japan
I am currently watching, it seems the first 6 mins or so they compile videos together to show you how long the earthquake was and what people witnessed. After you witness all the towns being hit with the tsunami.

| A 102-year-old Japanese man killed himself because he did not want to leave his home in the extended radiation zone. The centenarian lived in the village of Iitate, which until earlier this week was declared safe from radiation leaking from the crippled nuclear plant at Fukushima. Government officials earlier insisted that anyone living within a 19-mile radius of the plant must move and either stay with relatives or take shelter in an evacuation centre outside the zone. |

TOKYO�Japan�s Tokyo Electric Power said on Sunday it hoped to achieve a �cold shutdown� of its crippled Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant in six to nine months, setting a time frame for bringing the world�s worst nuclear crisis in 25 years under control.
Within three months Tokyo Electric said it planned to cool reactors and spent fuel at the nuclear plant to a stable level and get radiation leaks on a downward trend.
In another three to six months Asia�s largest utility aims to secure a �cold shutdown� at the plant, a state in which the water cooling fuel rods is below 100 C and the reactors are considered stable.
The firm, commonly known as TEPCO, has been struggling to stabilize the Fukushima complex 240 kilometres north of Tokyo, which was seriously damaged by the March 11 earthquake and tsunami and has been leaking radiation.
Shares of TEPCO, a blue-chip firm established 60 years ago, have lost three-fourths of their value since the quake amid worries over whether it would survive the crisis, with one analyst estimating compensation claims could reach $130 billion.
�This is the biggest crisis since the founding of our company,� TEPCO Chairman Tsunehisa Katsumata told a briefing in Tokyo, adding that he would likely resign to take responsibility, possibly after a shareholders� meeting in June.
�Getting the nuclear plant under control, and the financial problems associated with that. How we can overcome these problems is a difficult matter.�
Japan�s crisis has now been rated on par with the world�s worst nuclear accident at Chernobyl in 1986, although the total amount of radiation released is only a fraction of when the nuclear plant in Ukraine exploded.
TEPCO and the government have been under pressure to offer a road map for containing the crisis and to clarify when those who have had to evacuate the area around the damaged plant will be able to go home.
Prime Minister Naoto Kan has faced criticism over comments, which he later denied making, suggesting evacuees may not be able to return for 10 or 20 years.
After achieving a cold shutdown at the six-reactor plant, TEPCO said it would then focus on longer-term issues such as encasing the reactor buildings, cleaning up contaminated soil, and removing nuclear fuel to a safe holding place.
Two of the reactors are already in a stable state.
�I think it is doable, given the information TEPCO has released until now,� said a Japan-based university professor about the six to nine month time frame. The professor asked not to be quoted by name.
�But there are still so many issues that are unknown, and when you multiply the unknowns by four reactors, it is hard to say whether or not this is a realistic target.�
COMPENSATION
TEPCO has yet to determine how much it will have to pay residents and businesses uprooted by the crisis. The government has expanded a 20-km evacuation zone around the plant because of high accumulated radiation.
JP Morgan has estimated TEPCO could face 2 trillion yen ($24 billion) in compensation losses in the financial year that started this month, while Bank of America-Merrill Lynch has said the bill could reach $130 billion if the crisis continues.
The government is scrambling to come up with a scheme to limit the liability of TEPCO, which supplies roughly a third of Japan�s electricity and whose failure would likely destabilize the financial markets.
TEPCO had $91 billion of debt on its books before the March crisis, and has since taken on a $24 billion bank loan. It is also the country�s largest corporate bond issuer and its shares are widely held by financial institutions.
Katsumata said TEPCO was considering selling assets and other restructuring steps to pay for compensation, but that it would need government help.
�We cannot answer anything about compensation until the government�s scheme is in place. No amount of asset sales would be enough if TEPCO were to shoulder all of the compensation,� he said.
�So we have been saying we want the government to decide the scheme immediately.�
The Nikkei newspaper reported earlier on Sunday that TEPCO planned to sell shares in KDDI Corp. It holds about 360,000 shares in the telecoms firm, or an 8 per cent stake, which are worth about $2.2 billion at the current market price.
Katsumata did not comment specifically on its KDDI stake but said �we will do anything for rationalization, including asset sales and reduction in labour costs.�
New video...
The end is a little hard to watch I'll warn you now...
First we have to deal with the Gulf of Mexico mess (screwing up fishing there). Now we have to worry about the Pacific.

Better eat up all the fish you like from that region.
