Japan Earthquake/Tsunami

Yeah, I think it is time for me to throw in that "everyone should just die" like about now.

0349: CNN presenter Piers Morgan tweets: "Nuclear expert Bill Nye just said situation at Japan plants sounds 'way more serious' than authorities saying. Deeply worrying.

0352: The news coming from Japan remains bleak. Government spokesman Yukio Edano: "We do believe that there is a possibility that meltdown has occurred - it is inside the reactor, we can't see. However, we are acting, assuming that a meltdown has occurred and with reactor number 3 we are also assuming the possibility of a meltdown as we carry out measures."

0406: More on the specific dangers of Fukushima 1 plant's reactor 3: The BBC's Chris Hogg in Toky says the reactor is fuelled with uranium and plutonium, meaning the consequences of a meltdown are much more severe than at the other reactors.

Yeah, that and Pearl Harbor. Refer to this thread on what that got someone:

So for fun I ran some simple numbers. At Pearl Harbor in 1942, there where 2,402 deaths as the result of Japanese bombings. After that, America engaged strategic bombings of various Japanese cities. 6 months before the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings, the military switched to firebombing resulting in catastrophic damage of of 67 Japanese cities. There where, at minimum, 330,000 recorded Japanese deaths. After the atomic bombings, at least 150,000 people where killed in the first four months following, and two cities decimated. That's a total of 480,000 people killed in the three year wake of Pearl Harbor. If you're one of thous hostile eye for an eye people, this means that (at least) 199.83 Japanese people died per every American that died at Pearl Harbor. Many of whom, suffered in agony for months before they passed.



Their government, and the Axis of Evil struck America a devastating blow, and we retaliated in kind, 200%. Yes, karma is a ***, and we've all pay in various ways for what we do. The events occurring in Japan now aren't the result of past or future actions. They aren't something that could have been stopped by a vote, or by people in suits sitting in fancy buildings. They are unfortunate events, that have befallen people with no control over them who need help. Just like Haiti, these people are losing family members to something they could not prepare for, even in the back of your minds, as might happen during war. Unlike Haiti, the Japanese government is well funded, and has on sight man power to control the damage and help their civilians. But they are still human all human beings. So be mindful of that before you go spewing hate speech about Karma, a philosophy that isn't even being used correctly in this context, and telling people that they deserve it. Cause nobody deserves to know that a love one has drowned, or been crushed under rubble. Thank you for reading.

0411: Shaun Bernie, from lobby group Greenpeace, tells the BBC that using plutonium as fuel increases the risk that something could go wrong because plutonium-fuelled plants operate at a higher level. He also says plutonium is far more dangerous if it's released into the environment.
