What are the chances of a larger earthquake occuring? We just got a 5.8 earthquake over here about a half hour ago. What would you say are the chances of a much larger one happening this week?

Someone said something about nuclear reactors blowing up? Well something just did, the second time since the earthquake.

Yeah, I heard that the nuclear radiation level is so high that It is spreading to here in the USA. Some are predicting that it will reach here in Michigan.

Who are you listening to, Glenn Beck?

It didn't explode or have a meltdown, it was just leaking.

But it's still very serious.

Over here in Santa Cruz, our harbors were wreked and boats destroyed. I think even one man got swept out to sea.

Oh wow, I've seen this since it aired~

Radiation in spinach and milk was found 50 miles off nuclear plants.

It's a shame, but the Japanese will recover~

... Have you SEEN the pictures of the reactors?

I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure reactor 4 used to have a ROOF.

I believe reactor 3 is partly damaged as well.


Some videos showed the cooling of the reactors, and when the helicopters dumped the ocean water, most of it was swept by the wind~

That is not the containment chamber, only the outer casing.

There is no extreme emergency yet.

... Nobody said that. But there were explosions, plenty of em. One in reactor 3 (this one damaged the casing) and one in reactor 4... Which apparently blew the roof off.

Uh, every modern reactor is built with a containment room that houses the rods.

The walls of the containment room are thick enough to prevent serious issues (but not meltdowns).

Outside the containment room is the basic housing that contains the outer layers of the reactor.
If the roof is blown, it is the outer.

If it were the containment room, there would be alerts about HUGE levels of radiation seeping from the reactor.

I don't need to prove what is already basic fact.

Kind of like how you British have bad teeth.

... Such as the fact that there have been MULTIPLE explosions at the reactors.

Yes, but the explosions have not CAUSED any damage to the containment room that would exponentially increase the radiation already leaking.

(Look I can use caps lock too!)
