Kevin S. Assilleekunt 1 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 The conspiracy theorist at work reckons this was a planned earthquake executed by the HARP machine in Alaska to create a distraction from the political turmoil in the middle east.

JawD 31 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I'm directly effected as my business sales are made up of 90% a Japanees manufacturer. Already spoke to them and they have people trapped in their HO. Most though its the shipping ports. So many have closed and actual vessels have been lost. This will delay and push up the cost of export from the country. Power across the country is being limited meaning production at factories is slowed or stopped all together for now.

NJS 4026 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I caught the start of The Big Question yesterday but had to switch it off before it endangered my TV - started with a bloke saying God allowed things like this to happen and we'd only know why in the afterlife and also it was meant as test for those watching as well. Then another fuckwit said that God hadn't meant for people to live in such dangerous places - ignoring the fact that his "holy land" is an earthquake zone. Of course the real underlying view is "it serves them right for being Godless". Absolute bastards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 4026 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Leaving aside Hiroshima/Nagasaki and the fact it's years ago anyway, the rank ignorance on this subject in general (probably down to Holywood as well) shows that they can't teach or learn history: The attack on Pearl Harbour was not out of the blue or unprovoked.

I think it came as a bit of a suprise like. Very difficult to defend Japan's abhorrent actions in WW2, but that has no bearing on the modern day country.

Their POW/scorched earth policies in China are indefensible I agree, but the actual attack on Pearl Harbour was typical global war-mongering politics with blame on both sides - the USA had imposed an oil embargo on them which was disrupting their actions in Indochina. A cynic would suggest it was very convenient as an excuse to enter the war. Of course the relevance to today is the same as people who still hate modern Germans.

trophyshy 6481 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Japanese engineer Masashi Goto, who helped design the containment vessel for Fukushima's reactor core, says the design was not enough to withstand earthquakes or tsunamis and the plant's builders, Toshiba, knew this.

Kevin S. Assilleekunt 1 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 It's been nearly an hour now. Are they going to go to Mr. Goto anytime soon? Seems like he's the go to guy for the latest information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26999 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Believe it or not but I'm not a nuclear physicist, the problem they seem to be having at the moment is that they can't get water pumped in to cool the rods? I'm guessing they've got plenty of water so all they're missing is a few pumps? Surely there must be suitable pumps somewhere that they could use?

trophyshy 6481 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I was just watching a piece rolling on the beeb, with some people dicing with death in the bottom left corner of the screen, on the edge of the most accurate portrayal of hell I have ever seen. Just mind bending destruction and death. Poor bastards, you have to wonder if many parts of the north east will be abandoned, with or without meltdown.

Renton 18204 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Assuming, as is now expected, there will be no significant release of radiation and no significant casualties, I think this should actually be regarded as a vote of confidence in nuclear power. At the end of the day, reactors built nearly 40 years ago have withstood an earth quake of almost unimaginable ferocity followed by a huge tsunami and survived intact. This should put the argument to bed and we should build more of them. Not near where I live, obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
