exactly this. also helps to show people just how devastating tsunamis are. remember when the thailand one hit and they said the water receded and people went out onto the beach because they didn't know what was happening? The more videos and awareness shown, the better it is for everyone.

i believe they should also show dead bodies from war on tv. it remind people that '**** is real'

Sorry to have offended you, but it is news.
We don't know if that woman was in the house that was swept away, or if it was someone in the building that the guy was filming from.

Witnessing the power of mother nature like that is awe inspiring.
Watching the videos and witnessing the destruction gives a far better idea of what the people are going through, and simply dismissing it as entertainment is not the right thing to do.

The way this thread has to be updated with the tiniest inkling of barely relevant information constantly is bizarre, particularly when we know 99% of it is speculation and hype. I guess its some weird kind of voyeurism, or boredom.

great, go ahead and send me all your account info, you won't be needing it

So what's going on with the nuclear reactors suddenly there's not big screaming headlines of doom on my two biggest national newspaper websites.

I had to look... Jomo has 320 posts... Like 230 more than the next highest poster.

This clown needs to get laid.

"Though they could reach California by Friday, officials said they see no health danger and stressed that any radiation reaching here would be well within safe limits."

Do people even read the articles anymore?

WELCOME TO CLOWN TOWN

officials say that? well ****, i'm good with that. i believe anything officials say. my bad, bro.

apocalypse already happened, we're all already dead

Nailed it!

Who says I stopped

Hey I just keep a hand around it at all times and if the ground starts shaking I'm not responsible for what happens next.

You guys need to be a little more serious.

A little extra radiation won't hurt you, it might even give you superpowers.

Well this thread used to be a good place to find new news.

The corner of my mouth curled slightly.

Jomo will restore order.

It's night in Japan. The news shuts down.

I killed someone last week its not that difficult

The nuclear plant stuff is compelling for several reasons:
* The situation has changed in ways that were not anticipated in the first couple of days, and there's still a great deal of uncertainty about how it will end up.

* There's a small but not zero chance of things worsening to the point where this event will have direct environmental or health consequences in the U.S.

* We have nuclear plants too, and this event raises concerns about their safety. We respect the competence of Japan, so we suspect that our level of disaster preparedness does not far exceed that of the Japanese.

* We've been having discussions about building more nuclear plants here, and this event may well influence U.S. energy policy for decades.

At California Nuclear Plant, Earthquake Response Plan Not Required

Oh they have an earthquake response plan.

If it has the same effect the 3 Mile Island meltdown had, that really would be a shame. At least they already extend the operating license TMI-1 for another 20 years through 2034 back in 2009.

this vid is pretty nuts... i wish they would have focused more on the houses rather than the bay... he turns back later and everything is gone.

seems a lot of the low income houses stood no chance

Sucks, but this is big news. The nuclear 'threat' overtook the fact that probably around 15,000 people died in the earthquake + tsunami because events like this don't happen all that often. Sure there are accidents every now and then but not an ongoing possibility of nuclear disaster.

The problem lies with the media over-hyping certain things like what Monkey_b wrote about a 'radiation cloud', that was a story ran by the NY Times that an anti-nuclear organization came up with.

There have been a lot of experts on American media that are either pro-nuclear (everything is ok, nothing is wrong) or anti-nuclear (meltdown, Chernobyl, area inhabitable for decades) and the truth lies somewhere in the middle of those two extremes.

There has also been a lot of conflicting information coming from TEPCO (owner of the plant), Edano (gov't spokesman), and the Japanese nuclear and industrial safety agency. It doesn't help when they intentionality dodge questions, or answer questions in an 'uncertain' manner. It makes it seem like they are hiding something or they really don't know what's going on.
