For those with friends and family in Japan, I've been reading some stuff on the net and it does not look good for the nuclear reactors in Fukushima.

The French are telling their people to leave Tokyo. It's here at FT.com.

http://www.ft.com/cms/s/50c822ae-4e45-11e0-a9fa-00144feab49a,Authorised=false.html?_i_location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ft.com%2Fcms%2Fs%2F0%2F50c822ae-4e45-11e0-a9fa-00144feab49a.html&_i_referer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.godlikeproductions.com%2Fforum1%2Fmessage1393979%2Fpg1

The 3 reactors are in pile of heat and melting. The reading at the gate of the plant at 1 PM today (Japan) was around 8200 ms. That is NOT good. Apparently, one of the reactor's container pressure is down. It's probably cracked and leaking radiated coolants.

I've been looking at the live stream of a Geiger counter in Tokyo here for about 6 hours now. It's have been slowly, but SURELY, creeping up from 12.5 cpm. It's now at 22 cpm.

The prognosis for the remaining 50 workers at the plant are not good. Many on this site are siting them as heroes, for they will perish at the plant.

If the wind direct does not change, now it's NNE, so it's blowing toward Tokyo, we will have major major catastrophe within 24 hours.

I saw the news conference that the suits from TEPCO (Tokyo Elec. Power Co.) gave this morning (Japan time) was total BS. They were evading questions like no tomorrow.

Guys, I am a recent member on this site. But, this picture is NOT good. I would tell you friends and family in Japan to consider removing themselves from Tokyo, or if possible, from Japan for now.

I salute those 50 remained at the plant. They will be remembered. Brave people.

Oh, and the #4 reactor blew as well. Holy mother of god. This is a history in making. Oh my god...
