Japanese nuclear leak “much worse than initially announced”
July 18th, 2007 at 11:48 am . by nukeAn earthquake-wracked nuclear power plant was ordered closed indefinitely Wednesday amid growing anger over revelations that damage was much worse than initially announced and mounting international concern about Japan’s nuclear stewardship.
Toyota and other Japanese automakers, meanwhile, suspended production at factories across the country because a major parts supplier sustained damage from Monday’s magnitude-6.8 quake, which killed 10 people and left tens of thousands without power or water.
Tokyo Electric Power Co. warned that the nuclear plant shutdown could lead to power shortages in Japan. It has asked six other power companies to consider providing emergency electricity to prepare for rising demand from summer air conditioning, spokesman Hiroshi Itagaki said.

Forgive my redundancy, but a fire in a nuclear reactor is not a good thing.

Why, I daresay that if those tens of thousands had prepared for a pandemic, they’d also have been ready for this nuclear waste leak!

One of my clients got that shiite on her head, below the skin and attacked her cranium. They used mega antibio’s, which nearly killed her, but they got it done.
I know a lot of people just love the beach and the ocean, I was just never a fan. I’ve visited the beaches in different places, and it’s nice and all, but I have never understood the need to be near one.
Give me a nice deep blue lake, surrounded by pine trees any day.

Yeah, the Russkies told the Brits they were asking for trouble the other day, when the Brits kicked some Russian diplomats out of the country.

There’s a video over at B5 showing a car being blown up with a sniper in it, they call it The Sniper Sedan Slam.
Go to my comment, about number four, then check the vid again.

Thanks.
I saw it right off. While those two vehicles share many parts, body panels aren’t among them.

There is a woman here, a young mother, who had both arms and legs amputated because of it.

I mean necrotizing fasciitis, not being blown up in a vehicle.
