Mid-way through watching the video and I am REALLY upset they keep using the radura (radiation symbol) to indicate toxic zones.
Are they dumping nuclear waste there or something?

Just finished watching it. Most of the pollution is raw sewage and non-degradable garbage.
Reinforces the fact that the Olympics never should've picked Rio and that people will probably die during/following the games as a result, but the environmental community REALLY has to [B]stop associating radiation with pollution[/B]

I think it's more of people confusing it's meaning with the biohazard symbol.
Hope they are sued for billions

Its a mistake that is causing nuclear a lot of problems.
On top of that if they confuse the radura with the biohazard symbol that makes them look incompetant and stupid. Terribly embarrassing when you are trying to bring light to a serious issue
It's pretty telling when your own country can see through your shit attempt at damage control.
Hey though, when you still have blatantly polluted waters (and the situation is getting worse every passing minute) you're obviously not going to fool anyone.
Episode 2 is here.

How about haphazardly dumping [B][I]who knows[/I][/B] how many gallons of oil into the bay, and fucking people getting assassinated or otherwise killed for actually speaking up?
how long until the issues of the poverty stricken districts reach the upper class ones, you can't keep the waters from eventually sipping into theirs right?
