Let's hope the weather will be good.

carnival73: Yeah, it's like first a big quake, wash it down with a tsunami and then polish it off with a nuclear explosion. What did Japan ever do to anyone? =/


Ah, shit man.

dyscode: Yeah, this is pretty tense now.
Fukishima is 250Km away from Tokyo but if the wind is right there are no barriers for radioactive particles.
We got food supply for some days.
Later there will be an electricity emergency plan, since there is just not enough power to cool down Fukishima 1 powerplant. How Ironic.

It´s funny but somehow I expect to see Godzilla coming out of the ocean any moment.
Yeah, lol. I thought that too.

I wish by now everyone would've found a safer and more efficient resource than nuclear energy. Those nuclear plants are like bombs planted throughout everyone's country..

Hence what happened to Russia years back and what inspired the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series.

The evacuation zones around the Fukushima #1 and #2 plants have just been expanded to 20 KM. And naturally, we're still getting a ton of quakes. Wife said that she heard it could be up to a month before the seismic activity stables.

It was sad to see such destruction to both people and property. I send my sympathy to all those who have been affected by this tragady.

Yikes! Kurosawa's Dream come true?

EDIT: This is the real video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHfR_wybvw0
Not good. Not good at all.

Holy shit...

Yeah, that's a pretty huge building that just got totally pulverized. Other videos show the first shockwave much better. Extreme stuff.

Fortunately it still doesn't look like this will turn into a Chernobyl-style incident. Fingers crossed.

At least it's still contained. But bloody hell it does not look good right now.

It's some quake. Japan itself moved 2.4 meters, and the shift in landmass also caused the earth's axis to shift ever so slighty.

yes looks like for now. the radiation droped to 600 whatever and the coreshield is intact.
Now the US Airforce will bring some cooling device from Toshiba Industries to the plant to support the cooling somehow. It sounds like Science Fiction.
Hope it works.

The accident was mainly caused by some leaking Hydrogen and Oxygen pipes or something. They say. And you know that oxyhydrogen gas just LOVES to ignite.
Causing some damage outside the core. As far as I gathered. Maybe someone else can fill in more.

But we just had another quake at Fukushima, level 5.
Seems like someone really don´t likes this plant.

Ok, I am out for today, tired,
good and safe night to all Japan based GOGer, and everybody else!

Hope nothing happens to the nuclear plant.

Roberttitus: I didn't (& still don't really) watch the news.

Sargon: Yet you think you know better than your president how the government should prioritize.

Roberttitus: Giving aid to other countries when our own could be in danger just seems foolish to me...

Sargon: I'm sure that you would be of another opinion if it was you that was hit.
Don't twist my words... you don't know me & you most certainly can't see where I am coming from. I don't need the news to tell me that if our own are in danger then we should protect them first & foremost... that is just common sense. Now that is not to say that I think we should give Japan the middle finger either.... I'm just saying that when some of our biggest cities are expected to be hit by the same Tsunami that hit Japan we should be more focused on saving the lives there & making sure that the majority (not all as Japan is more than welcome to SOME) of our resources go to helping those people & rebuiding our cities.

Come on theres more pressing concerns than your twos scuffle.

You honestly think it would even be logistically possible to give more than SOME help, anyway? Especially in such a short time frame? I.e. there's no reason to fear that the US (or any other country) will suddenly end up without resources or protection just 'cause they aid Japan?
