3. I don't have flashplayer. Is the smoke steady or a one-time release? Which way does the wind blow? n

6. The smoke was steady.....
...and rising/billowing upward. There didn't appear to be much wind blowing horizontally in the footage shown in this report. This smoke is black and is coming from reactor #3 which is considered especially dangerous because it operates on plutonium.

9. And what is worst.....
...the http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Quakes/quakes_big.php">earthquakes in this region just keep coming. In the past seven days they've had in excess of http://earthquakes.tafoni.net/?lat=37.64903402157866&lon=138.58154296875&type=map&zoom=6">390 aftershocks most of which should just be called plain old earthquakes. The week before that almost 500 earthquakes.

Yesterday alone in this same region, they had at least 21 aftershocks ranging from the low 5.0's up to 6.6 (they had two of those!). So far today they've had 4 aftershocks in the low 5's. And now they're being told not to eat the food or drink the water.

- Their government says there is no cause for alarm and is asking its citizens to stay calm as they have everything basically under control. Relatively speaking......

12. So we are good right?
A long as they are only a few times the normal we are good right??

As long as they don't tell us that this is harmful no one will die of cancer right?

"Normal" radiation is light radiation that come mainly from the sun. Anything from fission material or radionuclide's can have serious effects on the human body because these particles can get INSIDE organic matter. This can cause internal radiation and destruction of chemical bonds to a very localized area of the body.


Time to end world government, central banks and centralization of any types of power. Localization is our key.

13. Ahh yes.
We're not to panic unless we begin to glow in the dark and/or when our body parts spontaneously begin to fall off. If that happens then we should stop eating food and drinking water.

- And it's not a bad idea to have a few extra rolls of duct tape handy to catch the odd floating isotopes they might have missed......


And WELCOME to DU ;)
