Let the comparisons to Chernobyl now begin, because the article says that the people in the evacuated cities are not returning home "anytime soon". Looks like we have another Pripyat on our hands. Very sad. firstdown 03-30-2011, 10:15 AM Express.co.uk - Home of the Daily and Sunday Express | UK News :: Earthquake-hit Japanese road fixed in just six days (http://express.co.uk/posts/view/236508/Potholes-Japanese-road-fixed-in-just-6-days-after-earthquake) That project would take a year here just to get the approval for the permits. Then you would have one goverment worker actually working while six others lean on their shovel and 10 foreman yelling out instructions.

Japan has a 12 or 16 mile "Exclusion Zone"/"Zone of Alienation", whole neighborhoods will likely never be repopulated (a la Pripyat), and many many people disabled, sick, dead, or dying... This should be a 7 on the nuclear disaster scale, easily....

Those folks are real heroes. So sad for them, though.

Chernobyl was far beyond the pale of this, kinda like Hiroshima/Nagasaki was far beyond the pale of the Tokyo and Dresden firebombings. Mind you, all of these are horrible situations, and by saying it's not Chernobyl, I am not trying to minimize the loss of life or the depth of the situation. Just that Chernobyl was truly that far worse than this one as time will end up showing. MTK 03-31-2011, 02:18 PM Chernobyl didn't even have a containment system in place. As a result they had an immediate significant release of radioactive materials, that's just not happening in Japan. Different situations. | |
