Wolf Blitzer just told me that a nuclear meltdown may be happening right now

watching it on CNN as we speak

So what the hell are u suppose to do take the elevator down? Dont think so! All those points are true but based on very circumstantial occurrences

link?

im watching right now too, and what im seeing is the Japanese ambassador bullshitting right to Wolf Blitzers face, for fucks sake tell the truth man people's lives are at stake, and this fcking guy is sittin there trying to save face...

nobody is gonna be pissed and blame Japan for the meltdown geez, they have probably the best earthquake precaution systems in the world, just tell the truth buddy so they can do something about it before it's too late

I think hes been told what he can and cannot say. Hes just a figurehead/puppet in this situation. His job is foreign relations, not public relations.

I can't really blame this guy for trying to bullshit because its likely CNN has better information about the situation than he does.


Also, CNN's yellow journalism hasn't mentioned the "meltdown" in 20 mins or so. It was obviously a hook to bring people to their screens to watch Wolf grill the ambassador. Shame.

I agree 100% they don't have a clue what they are doing right now so they are just giving BS.

oh fuk.. what to do now?

WOW another aftershock just hit

ya 250 aftershocks above 5.0, fckin crazy, they saying it could go on for months as the tectonic plates settle...
and they saying the possibility of an even stronger after shock than the original 8.9 quake still exists


so the way they measure it is the Haiti quake for example was a 7.0, and an 8.0 is 32 times stronger than the 7, and so forth in increments of 1.0 is 32x the strength

wow so far over 250 earthquakes over 5.0 and over 50 earthquakes over 6.0.

In regards to the reactor cores,

The media is doing a good job re-wording the same headlines over and over again to maintain an interesting story. If you actually read the articles and updates you would know that over the last two days very little has changed with respect to the condition of the various reactors in question.

On top of that, the media presents the information in a way that would lead us to believe that should a reactor core fail (melt down) there would be widespread contamination. In reality, in the even of a complete reactor core failure the chance of contamination outside the facility is very unlikely.

The major concern with a melt down is this, right now if they can get the reactor temps under control they can "probably" recomission the facility without having to make extensive repairs. If a complete reactor failure occurs then the reactor in question will be damaged beyond repair and will cost a lot of money to rebuild, nevermind the extensive on-site clean up costs.

Don't let the media headlines get you worked up, wait until some facts come out.

some good local news video

^ there's a guy on that fishing boat, damn hope he made it, also hope that little K car at the beginning outran the water as well, boat guy has a much better chance than the little car

just seeing trucks and even houses being swept away by water.. nature's wrath..

scary to think that i would consider trucks or any heavy vehicles as a safe spot to be on top off in case stuff like this happens....

Holy shit, that looks insane. Goddamn buildings floating by.

I thought those were books on the floor of a library at first! O.O

the explosion of the plant remember? with all the smoke?


this is what that building looks like now

not as bad as i thought it would look




It's going to be freezing temperatures tonight and below freezing in the next couple days

another aftershock, 6.1

hit a while ago

I was just watching this video. Look at the 2min mark on the right hand side you can see something flying through the water that is not part of the tsunami.

good eye, that thing can move, whatever it is.

Whoa what the fuck was that!

Berz out.
