[quote] [img]http://fastcache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/4/2011/05/xlarge_mayhem_01.jpg[/img] The Tokyo Electric Power Company has released images showing how the tsunami hit the Fukushima power plant. Thousands of tons of water covered absolutely everything with inexorable fury, without caring about any dam or barrier in the way. Absolutely terrifying. The tsunami was the coup de grâce for the nuclear power plant, which was already critically affected by the force of the 9 magnitude Earthquake even before the water hit on March 11. Tepco has released the images on the same day that workers have entered into reactors #1 and #2, where they have been exposed to radiation levels of 3,33 and 4,72 milisieverts. Heroes still at work where the rest of the world cares about something else.[/quote] [b]To view the gallery please click this[/b] [url]http://gizmodo.com/5803473/tsunami-hits-fukushima-gallery/gallery/1[/url]

why didn't they release them before?

[QUOTE=callumshell;29934995]Because radiation leaks didn't.[/QUOTE] i don't think releasing pictures is at the top of your agenda when you have a reactor meltdown
[QUOTE=Aurora93;29933091]why didn't they release them before?[/QUOTE] It probably took awhile for the person taking the pictures to be in a position where he can sell his images to the media. He/she likely shopped around to find the best offer from different organizations.
