[QUOTE=midlet_guy;28559488]What the fuck is happening to Japan ?[/QUOTE] A massive earthquake, and a tsunami
I hope you've stocked up on Rad-X and RadAway American.
Oh fucking hell, why is this happening to Japan. :c

[QUOTE=Nohj;28559683]He said the map isnt real.[/QUOTE] I meant his comment I quoted
[quote]0957: From Richard Black, BBC environment correspondent: "Although Japan has a long and largely successful nuclear power programme, officials have been less than honest about some incidents in the past, meaning that official re-assurances are unlikely to convince everyone this time round."[/quote] [quote]1009: "This is starting to look a lot like Chernobyl" Walt Patterson, an associate fellow with Chatham House, has told the BBC after seeing pictures of the explosion at the Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear plant. "The nuclear agency says that they have detected caesium and iodine outside the unit, which certainly indicates fuel melting at the very least," he says. "Once you have melting fuel coming into contact with water, that would almost certainly be the cause of the explosion." [/quote] BBC feed
[QUOTE=carcarcargo;28559474]Who said the worry was about a nuclear explosion, the worry is that it's going to spew nuclear material into the atmosphere[/QUOTE] Nuclear explosions cannot happen with nuclear reactors. The explosion mentioned in that quote meant a conventional explosion with radioactive shrapnel, which, as the quote said, is extremely unlikely.
The worst thing of all, is that it's gonna ruin opinion of nuclear reactors again.
Oh shit.
As bad as this is, I hope the Japanese use this incident as a reason to make a model nation for alternative energies out of themselves.
Fill it all with concrete. [sp]and name it Chernobyl v2.[/sp]
[QUOTE=Killuah;28559761]As bad as this is, I hope the Japanese use this incident as a reason to make a model nation for alternative energies out of themselves.[/QUOTE] Japan and Germany already are alternative energy leaders

I think one of my former tutors was going after a scholarship in Japan, but I guess now her plans have changed a little.
(before earthquake) Nuclear reactors are safe. It's pretty much impossible for them to melt down. (after earthquake) See? They automatically shut down. No radiation released. They're safe. (after tsunami) Okay, so it can't cool down anymore. It's still not going to meltdown. (after meltdown) Well, barely any radiation was released. Everything is fine. (explosion at reactor, large amount of radiation leakage) Will you please stop scaremongering? It's not like anyone is going to die from this.

Great. I wake up and find this. God fucking dammit.

I feel sad for Japan...
Let's hope the problems don't spread.
I live in Japan and now am legitimately frightened. The news here is not showing any new footage, and the government is not saying much. I am just worried it might be worse than we know, and they don't want people to panic.
Wait, there's two threads now? :saddowns:

[QUOTE=JLea;28559930]Where do you live?[/QUOTE] Fukuoka, so I'm quite far away from it and the wind is blowing the other way. I have friends in northern Japan though so I don't know what's going to happen if the winds change or it gets worse.
