    in case you are all hoping that Reactor #4 is some sort of well enclosed domed structure with a good bit of support ... i found the following blog with photos.

    Yes, bad news. I've keep tabs on this from time to time and the news is never good.

    Another recent eye-opening article:

    Ever see Akira Kurosowa's Dreams?
    short clip from dream: Mt. Fuji in Red

    God that film is amazing.
    Used to watch it religiously, late at night, while stoned on opium in highschool.

    The Mt Fuji dream is by far the most depressing scene in the film.

    oh. its fantast-imazin-ating.
    top notch cinematography, and the colors are unreal.
    very much a nature-loving \ sentimental humanitarian "film" ...
    just a bunch of his dreams, supposedly.

    My buddy back in highschool had a VHS copy which cost him like a $100 cuz for the longest time it wasn't available for sale in the US (no idea why) ... but it is a great film to watch in an altered state, or just on a chill night when you want something cerebral and "fantastic".

    I'm definitely going to watch this movie based on that youtube clip.

    Yet another eye opening article on the situation in Fukushima.

    http://www.counterpunch.org/2012/04/24/ ... chernobyl/

    My personal reaction to all this is why the hell aren't all countries pouring all available resources into aiding the Japanese in dealing with this situation? This is an example of what I was trying to get at when I posted my poorly worded thread about the suicidal state of the world. This should be the biggest story on the news. If those fuel rods release their radiation into the atmosphere and ocean IT WON'T JUST AFFECT A SMALL AREA, it will hit all of us, everywhere. This is not sensationalist or alarmist or Debbie Downer news... well, ok, a downer yes, but it's really happening.

    I'm going to start writing letters and emails to my representatives and ask them to send all available assistance to help the Japanese deal with this. Every letter is viewed as representing 100 voices!
