here in San Antonio they wait to tell you to tune into the 10 o'clock news to find out you should not be drinking something 4 hours earlier. I think they call it a tease.
The part that bothers me most about this situation is that this is EXACTLY the same way the Soviet Union handled the press when Chernobyl exploded. It was several days after the fact that they admitted that there was a serious problem.
I know reactors are safer today, but they are also supposed to, you know, not meltdown like this one already has. They're said to be almost immune to this kind of catastrophe.
this volcano thing isnt nearly as tragic as the fire at OLLU a few years back,.
The only reason we found out about Chernobyl many radiation detecting alarms went off in nearby countries and they investigated the source of this airborne radiation.
It's not even close to the same situation. If you watch the Soviet newscasts from that time they'd mention it in passing for like 10 seconds and pretend like it was nothing when they were in a far far worse situation.
In fact Mikhail Gorbachev who was in charge of USSR back then didn't find out from his own country what took place he found out about the accident from Sweden! talk about a man who could have used facebook.
Pretty much
The hospital destroyed records to make it look like on 50 people were sent there when in fact a do ent was found to show 5,000 patients admitted. Today many of the workers who were in charge of clean up and covering the facility are dead and the few survivors don't even get any medical treatment or compensation.
check out this film when you have time.
Seriously, all the USSR did in Belarus was come spray down houses with water. They never told the people of Belarus to stop eating their crops grown in the tainted land. They never gave iodine to the children, and as a result there was an incredible e in thyroid cancer in children. They never said anything when there was a giant fair and parade right across the border just a couple of days after.
They sound like the Bush administration.
Right now people are drinking milk tainted with cancer causing growth hormones wondering why there kids can't sit still or behave properly not knowing the side effects to growth hormones are short tempers and sleep disorders so they try and treat their kids with more cancer causing medications by making them drink the medications with a glass of warm milk tainted with cancer causing growth hormones.
We have our own Chernobyl's at home.
Drinks on me!
CNN showed a video sent by an " iReporter " (the ....)
The video showed an explosion and the guy who shot the vid had that comment: " OMG, it's beautiful ! "
Beautiful?
Are you freaking kidding me ?
You have to remember this was the first meltdown/explosion of a nuclear reactor, how was he to know it was fatal? Even the natives in Hawaii thought the Pearl Harbor attack was great entertainment to witness.
(I thought you made a comment about the video i posted) one of the employees at the Chernobyl disaster said the same thing "how beautiful" it looked.
I meant considering the tragedy surrounding the Japan earthquake, his comment was in bad taste
yea that happens when you don't refresh your page before you post.
my bad!

Time for a pizza
CNN & MSNBC: We assume Nuclear meltdown has occurred in japan.
Also a 6th reactor is now losing its cooling functions
no way man thats too surreal
link?

If the reactors have melted down I hope they are able to keep containment. As long as the containment facilities hold it won't be a big deal
I won't believe anything until I see it on Al-Jazeera
anyway they can initiate a "controlled meltdown" so to speak?
