It's worse, actually. It doesn't take into consideration the radition. For example, Tokyo's water supply is contaminated with radioactive iodine (and Tokyo is 200km or so from the reactors).

We all hope & pray that the Japanese can get this situation under control. I hope that America is doing all we can to help.

Well of course it's convenient to help now, when it was your country's responsibility selling this crap nuclear plant.

That picture makes me think of a question…

Q: What's the difference between a Japanese building in the aftermath of a tsunami and a soldier in today's post-DADT military?

A: No matter how long it stays on top, the building doesn't get full of a ferry's seamen.

Chickenhead #5, As always the master. You may have heard that there is one good piece of news from the tsunami disaster, that Japanese fish exports have gone up. The reason is that the fish is radioactive & it cooks itself.

Tom L,

"the fish is radioactive & it cooks itself."

…only the control cod, albacore, and gamma rays.

Chickenhead, you're unbelievable. All that radioactive water gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "hot tub."
