Well it depends on what I'm ****posting about. Sometimes I remember.

Like the guitar thing. If I was trying to make you look like as ass or something I probably would have just posted something real quick and never gave it a second thought.

Thats probably why I didnt remember, I'm surprised that you held on to it for as long as you did.

I have the flu or something, so didn't read last few pages.

But the fuel rods of #2 reactor are fully exposed again.

Well that can't be good, where'd you read that at jomo?

I think this will end badly. I really though through all of this everything would work out OK. My attitude has changed however. Japan is ****ed.

Just now?

The U.S. nuclear regulatory commission says the Japanese government has formally asked the U.S. for help with cooling nuclear reactors

I thought I read that they were fully exposed for a bit but then they got water back in there..it happened when a valve was closed that was letting out radioactive steam

I hear you can cool it by dropping a bomb on it

(sorry)

Well we know our navy moved the ships in the area from the downwind location they were occupying...

We'd need a lot of radiation to achieve that...

Nope. They are uncovered as of the latest news.

sooo... is this turning serious? wasn't everyone like super sure that short of a worst case scenario, which in itself was highly unlikely to occur, there was nothing to worry about?

what about that article that said "they always have the option to just flood the reactors with ocean water and end the crisis immediately"? didn't it suggest that there is zero chance this can turn into a full meltdown

As long as the containment vessels hold, all is well. They will just have to release radioactive steam every now and then.

The fact that Japan has asked for US, French and IAEA help suggests they aren't sure what to do next.

Also, they have flooded them all with seawater, but the seawater in #2 is just boiling off as they pumps sustained damage from the #3 explosion.


There shouldn't be an explosion at #2 since the #3 explosion poked a hole in the #2 building which is allowing hydrogen to escape.

don't know if this has been posted yet

pretty :ugh:

Tide of bodies overwhelms quake-hit Japan - Yahoo! News

cliffs:
-1,000 bodies washed up on shore this morning
-crematoriums overwhelmed
-police chief in Miyagi says 10,000 people estimated to have been killed

Lies and hype. LGBR says it wasn't that bad and all will be back to normal because Japan was prepared for this. Who you going to believe, some journalist or people that are actually there!?

They're just bathing, everyone will be nice and clean soon.

i don't think lagbur is returning to this thread

So... bad?

more pics could be OFN, did not browse through all pages.

Still no significant threat to people... Plus everything should be evacuated. The reaction and system is out of control but everything is still contained and no reason to think it will not be contained... Still not a great situation and the plant is ****ed up but we're still a far ways away from a disaster that would affect humans or the environment.
