yeah i dont think having a city, nuclear reactors, and multiple large towns destroyed is going to help their economy
Godzilla! Huge Earthquake in Japan
- Thread starter JoMo
- Start date
No, the people who point to the non-event at Three Mile Island as a reason to not use nuclear power will have another example to scream about.
Personally i think the anti-nuclear movement have made the probability of a disaster or meltdown increase. Somehow i think plants built now are far safer then ones build in the 70s. But no lets just let those plants get older instead of building safer and more productive ones, cause nuclear power is scary ooOOOooo...
1739: More from that unidentified official at Japan's Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency on rating the incident at the Fukushima nuclear plant on the IAEA scale of 0-7: "Right now we are considering the accident should be rated four. The rating may be changed in accordance with the development of the condition."
Three Mile Island was a 5. Chernobyl was a 7
The top government spokesman said TEPCO has begun new cooling operations to fill the reactor with sea water and pour in boric acid to prevent an occurrence of criticality, noting it may take several hours to inject water into the reactor.
In addition, it will take about 10 days to fill the container with sea water, he said. There is a great possibility that the reactor will be decommissioned as the injection of sea water containing salt and impure substances will make it difficult to operate it safely again, experts say.

I saw a clip on TV earlier that had the one at the very start of that one.
When the boat comes down the road.
The boat turns, and you can see a guy inside the cabin.

the xmen had a fight at three mile island so it had more effects than u realize
lgbr is obviously being his usual spaz self, but japan would be better equipped than most to deal with an earthquake / tsunami... i mean they've been preparing for this for the last 100 years.
Yep, there was some definite confusion among the chaos. At 1:30 you can see 1, possibly 2, pedestrians in the lower right near the map of Hokkaido. I'm pretty sure that person is dead now. I don't see how they could have survived unless they were a pro swimmer (even then...).
god damn... this footage really puts into perspective just how puny and insignificant man is compared to mother nature... despite everything we have accomplished, she can bitchslap the living fuck out of us with what (in relative terms) would be the equivalent of a mousefart for her
Oh god, not the Broken Window fallacy again.

Read the quake had been upgraded to 9.1 and that it caused the earth to shift 4" on its axis.
It also shifted the coast of Japan 8ft...
