Fukushima Japan Nuclear Reactor Explosion - Page 5

I'll tell you=== the evening news is scaring the crap out of me. I don't care what Obama says.

I had a very interesting conversation with my son-in-law to be this evening.  He's an engineer in the nuclear power industry and he gave me a whole new perspective on this event.  He said that the news media is blowing things way out of proportion and when the head of his corporation (instrumental in the start-up of the involved reactors) offered information for the media, he was told that what he had to say wasn't "news-worthy", so they declined.  They are taking "expert" opinions from nuclear journalists, not nuclear physicists!  Although there has been some radiation leaked, it is minimal and will never affect the US.  I certainly don't want to minimize what the Japanese people are experiencing, but it's being blown way off the map of reality, from what he told me.  Believe what you want, but this is by no means Armageddon. 

 I don't want to believe anything except it just seems the people at the top have to keep things calm.

As i said the USA is a very long way from Japan, Strange how many think mostly of themselves at a time like this even though they are not in any danger at the present time, all  this when others are suffering hardships right in the very part of the disaster. Guys if you worry about yourselves at this stage i pity you for you must live a very unstable sort of life. Hell just help out where you can these people who are in desperate need of it and stop worrying about what or may not arise to harm yourselves

I can well remember a few years ago when the problem in Orleans USA happened, I had a Belgian Guy helping me sort out some electric problem in the pigeon loft, we were talking about Orleans and what a terrible thing to happen to the people there, He said to hell with the people in the USA they have enough already and they would not be getting any help from him or such like.
I did not take kindly to his reply and i said did not the Americans and the UK help out the people of Belgium  when they needed it, have you such a short memory, He said both the USA and the UK interfere too much. With that i lost my rag and told him to leave, he said not until the job was done and he got paid,
Wrong Answer from him. so i said out, or i would put him out in the true sense of the word, he refused so i did what i said i would do and dumped him outside the gate,
Problem was i still had faulty electrics after, Perhaps i should have let him finish the job first, What say you Guys

Steve, I worry for the whole world, not just myself.

Awlful string of tragedies; earthquake, tsunami, risk of radiation poisoning, hypothermia with severe snow conditions now and famine due to shortage of food.  Just awlfully sad.

With the tread of nuclear disaster, one can only feel for the nation at this moment.
