Thread is about the various issues surrounding Japan in the aftermath of the recent earthquake. Don't bring the shit side of the internet to the thread, and post with the realization that this thread is very important, and very real, to your fellow members. Do not post speculative and unconfirmed news you saw on TV or anywhere else. Generally the more dramatic it sounds the less likely it's true. | ||

Guy on the BBC saying that he'd expect aftershocks to continue for a while yet, though there shouldn't be a risk of further Tsunami's unless a quake is over 7.0 in strength and pretty shallow beneath the sea bed. | ||

Eine Bedrohung für Deutschland und Europa sei aber nahezu ausgeschlossen. source: http://www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft/technik/0,1518,750479,00.html translation: The minister of environment, norbert röttgen (cdu) ASSUMES that a meltdown has happened. "According to the information that we have, we TEND TO conclude that a meltdown is going on there." he said in an interview. a danger for either germany or europe is almost impossible. srsly, wild speculation going on in germany. wtf is röttgen even thinking. | ||

If he said that, it is remarkable for itself, since his party is the political wing of the nuclear industry. Well however, how should he know something, being on the other side of the world.... Oh btw there are 2 big elections upcoming in 2 weeks in germany and a (therefore) huge anti-nuclear-energy-protest near my home (planned before this events). So please doublecheck any information coming from germany. Lets simply hope for the best. | ||

I understand that many consider nuclear power very risky and dangerous, but it seems Germany has taken it a step further than most. Feel free to do it in pm so we can keep this thread as much on topic as possible. tbh I don't get it myself at the moment, while there's always debates about how safe nuclear power is and stuff the parties in charge atm usually are the ones defending nuclear power... but I#m not really into politics, so i could be wrong  | ||

Whats worrying me (and CNN ) is that the San Francisco quakes might be around the corner, starting to see some quakes in California. | ||

Prime Minister Kan denied a meltdown, so on N24 they guess there really didn't happen any, else he would pobably not have disclosed any information about this at all. | ||
