Oh dearâŚ
Has there been any word on what caused the explosion? If itâs the case that they can no longer pump water to the reactors and theyâve overheated then the game is up. The scary thing is that this could happen to all the other reactors as well.
You cunts are worse than Sky for willing this to escalate and escalate. You wonât be happy until millions have died 
Itâs funny because itâs true. Charlie Bird was on the radio a half an hour ago talkng to an Irish woman in Tokyo. âAND NOW TO THE DRAMATIC SITUATION IN TOKYOâŚIrishwoman Una OâNeill, there must be real sense of panic there at the momentâŚâ
Irishwoman: âItâs pretty much a normal day here in Tokyo, everybody is going about their business as normalâ.
Charlie sounded really disapponted.
Itâs like on September 11, everybody was feigning an âoh no, thatâs terribleâ, but secretly thinking âthis is some fucking craic, itâd be gas if one of the towers fell down, oh FUCK there it goes, jesus this is mad stuff altogether, fierce excitingâ. You know you were.
Sky News is muck for their coverage, putting dramatic sound effects with videos of the events.
Fox news is providing the best coverage.
Is this power plant bigger the Chernobyl?
People do show their true colours in situations like this alright.
Sid while agree with you slightly, i personally was just shocked by 911, and was very quickly thinking about âwho done it?â. I was to fly over there the following day, but it got shelved then for a few months. Was weird to be honest. I think people who havenât been to a place and donât have any connection or affection for a place just think âoh its over thereâ. I think Irish people have a very narrow view of people from certain countries, especially the States and East Asia actually.
Anyway, its a terrible disaster, but it seems the reactor at the plant has escaped damage. Thats good news if it comes to be fact.
10 seconds to core meltdown. Oh Fuk.
A second reactor is in trouble.
Iâm surprised there wasnât a smiley face put next to that.
Are the Japs fooling themselves thinking a blown up building can protect the reactor and contain it. Theyâre fucked over there. 160 people already being treated to exposure apparently.
The destruction of the entire Japanese nation in a nuclear meltdown,sorry meltdowns,could be just the unexpected pick me up the Irish economy needs.
Iâd say theyâre all part of the rescue team though. The Guardian had experts last night saying that the pumping in of seawater was âan act of desperationâ. The thing is they successfully managed to shut down the fission process two days ago so presumably the threat is much less than what it was.
I heard there on Sky News that a man was rescued 9 miles out at sea sitting on the roof of his house!

Tool on NY Times to see before and after satellite images. Astonishing stuff:
Fuel rods at three of the reactors are âhighlyâ likely to be melting acc to Jap Chief Cabinet Secretary.
There has now been an explosion at Reactor 2.
Thatâs the 3rd explosion.
I donât think the contamination risk is as big as the media are suggesting though. There wonât be another Chernobyl despite what sky and the like are implying.
