Interesting article - Japan's Quake Could Have Irradiated the Entire US. - General

[QUOTE=Elspin;28550880]Wow, that is just plain stupid. I would have imagined that reactors should be required to withstand heavy earthquakes, especially after chernobyl :geno:[/QUOTE] It was an 8.9 earthquake, not much can withstand that magnitude of force, oh and chernobyl had a meltdown because of an internal problem, not a earthquake.

[QUOTE=Laced;28563538]4 workers lost their lives.[/QUOTE] Considering how many could've died, that's not bad, but it's still a damn shame they died.

If it doesn't happen to us, we laugh at other countries faults but ignoring our own. :sigh:

[QUOTE=AcidSoldier;28553507]I really do wonder why us retarded humans build on fault lines when we know they're there -- don't try to deny it, even back then if we didn't know what they were, we knew what they fucking did.[/QUOTE] yeah i know right you should go kill yourself

[QUOTE=MrHeadHopper;28551219]S.T.A.L.K.E.R, now available in Japan! Get a free gasmask and DEATH with every purchase![/QUOTE] Gas masks don't save you from radiation. Most kinds can just go strait through your skin and cause trouble for you.

[QUOTE=Elspin;28550880]Wow, that is just plain stupid. I would have imagined that reactors should be required to withstand heavy earthquakes, especially after chernobyl :geno:[/QUOTE] What did Chernobyl have to do with earthquakes?

The actual design of the reactors prevent a catastrophic meltdown from happening. They're light water reactors, if the coolant (water, which also acts as the moderator) is lost then the reaction cannot sustain itself. It's all fearmongering.

Anyways, we aren't like that and considering how you claim to be American, you should know that. Do you know how common it is for an American teenager or sometimes adult to make a 9/11 joke (which happened to us).

omg its 2012 :twisted:
