JAPAN 8.9 Earthquake

[Jorgen]

I think Japanese nation should be proud of their past activities, because without all the engineering and actually preparing for these earthquakes, the catastrophe could have been times worse. I send my best wishes to the whole Japanese nation and I hope for the best.

I'm really glad that the stanceworks members in japan are doing ok!

Apparently the fuel rods are now fully exposed?

you were right, they were completely exposed but now the seawater is 2m about the rods

[jared1988]

thats what my boss said (hes a little smarter than me). hes counting down until the public goes ape shit on the gov't for not giving up all the info about the situation with the reactors

[.:dutchtuner:.]

why is it that in these situations I always get the feeling that the government isn't really telling what's going on just to avoid chaos

Apparently the fuel rods are now fully exposed?

i thought they meant it was fully exposed for a minute but was covered back up, im half watching/listening though

#2 nuclear reactor cooling system has failed. i guess they were all shut down long ago, how long does it take for these things to cool down???!!??

Predicting another earthquake is definitely an uncertain science, that said, the fact that another tsunami warning has been issued is not good. Lets just hope this warning, is just that and another tsunami doesn't occur.

As far as the power plant explosion, at least it was only a hydrogen explosion and not nuclear. Don't get me wrong no explosion is a good explosion, but if you had to choose between the two, I would choose hydrogen everytime.

[jared1988]

pretty big none the less

[LozZz]

It was just a hydrogen explosion

[jared1988]

another reactor exploded, unsure if its another hydogen explosion or the real deal. it was a pretty big explosion watching the replay
