Not Japan. The media in general have most people so scared of Nuclear Power for no real reason.

True.

Reading a few posts on Twitter that the pressure in reactor 1 has been decreased by releasing radioactive vapour. Not sure of this though.

Good news for once.

I see so many people still tweeting old news. FFS read the trends!!!

I'm off. Hope more good news awaits us all.

Right. Nuclear Power really isn't that dangerous.

Three mile Island wasn't the disaster it was made out to be and we won't see another Chernobyl. It's all just fear mongering.

Japan experiences unprecedented tsunami and earthquake killing a thousand people and causing untold billions in damages.

But wait... we interrupt coverage of this earthquake & tsunami for an even bigger apocalypse where no one is killed and a single town has to evacuate.

Telegraph :

Japanese government officials say there was shaking at the Fukushima nuclear plant in the area devastated by a massive earthquake.

The walls and roof of the plant appear to have been destroyed in the blast.

Reuters :

Jiji news agency said there had been an explosion at the stricken 40-year-old Daichi 1 reactor and TV footage showed vapour rising from the plant

I saw that on the news. I just hope they manage to contain the reactors but I feel that the focus has shifted to the reactor's instead of concentrating on the more important issues that are facing so many people around the affected areas. This is indeed a devasting blow & I hope the Japanese people recover from this as soon as possible. Watching those cars being washed away like rag dolls was a very humbling & scary experience.

NHK: "There is no confirmation that the cases of radiation poisoning are related to the nuclear incident after the earthquake"

Uh huh. That's a good one.

Looks like a hydrogen explosion.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

That's freaky!

The reactors are such a tiny story in the magnitude of this disaster. Problem is that people tend to fear most the things they don't understand, so the big bad radioactive cloud that supposedly gives birth to Godzilla gets the attention and not the hundreds of people who died and the hundreds of communities wrecked or destroyed. (And yet it didn't take an 8.9 quake to cause the Deepwater Horizon to blow up, instantly kill 11 people, and pretty much decimate the entire Gulf of Mexico.)

Well, when they are killed, I guess it's open season for someone to write, "Serves you right for My Lai."
