Justin. Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 (edited) Could someone tell me the name of the site that footage was taken from (not Youtube)? I was watching it the first day but hadn't bookmarked the link. Edit: Nvm, found it. Edited March 12, 2011 by Sacha Michel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theminister Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Honey, where did we park? Sorry, it's one of those situations where I'm trying to laugh to keep from crying. I don't know if we've ever had a disaster of this scale in such a developed country where access to video and internet was so readily available. The amount of pictures and videos emerging can simply inundate you. They are incredibly sobering. Everything with this situation is unique from an observational standpoint. To be able to see a tsunami hit a village from an aerial view? That's practically magic. We live in amazing, frightening and inspiring times. The surrealness of seeing these things happen live reminds me of the lyrics from The Boy In The Bubble by Paul Simon. / Lasers in the jungle somewhere.

-Goose- Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 He is a really funny guy, and he makes science and physics, particularly AstroPhysics, really accesible and easy to understand. Bill Nye is good too....I grew up with him and his show. But Dr. Tyson, is heads and shoulders above right now for me. He is just uber smart in a range of topics. You should really check out : Neil is awesome. i was just watching this when I refreshed this thread and you mentioned him: His show on PBS is awesome too.

Common sense Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Honey, where did we park? Sorry, it's one of those situations where I'm trying to laugh to keep from crying. I don't know if we've ever had a disaster of this scale in such a developed country where access to video and internet was so readily available. The amount of pictures and videos emerging can simply inundate you. They are incredibly sobering. Totally acceptable. Even Katrina or the '05 tsunami did not have instant access to news like this. Humour is one step to the process of realizing the breadth of the tragedy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
key2thecup Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Meltdown Caused Nuke Plant Explosion: Safety Body Sunday, March 13, 2011 TOKYO (Nikkei)--The Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency (NISA) said Saturday afternoon the explosion at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant could only have been caused by a meltdown of the reactor core. The same day, Tokyo Electric Power Co. (9501), which runs the plant, began to flood the damaged reactor with seawater to cool it down, resorting to measures that could rust the reactor and force the utility to scrap it. Cesium and iodine, by-products of nuclear fission, were detected around the plant, which would make the explosion the worst accident in the roughly 50-year history of Japanese nuclear power generation. An explosion was heard near the plant's No. 1 reactor about 3:30 p.m. and plumes of white smoke went up 10 minutes later. The ceiling of the building housing the reactor collapsed, according to information obtained by Fukushima prefectural authorities. At a news conference Saturday night, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano discounted the possibility of a significant leak of radioactive material from the accident. "The walls of the building containing the reactor were destroyed, meaning that the metal container encasing the reactor did not explode," Edano said. The amount of radiation detected inside the plant after 4:00 p.m. slightly exceeded the dose people can safely receive in a year, according to information obtained by the Fukushima prefectural government. The No. 1 reactor shut down automatically soon after a massive earthquake hit the area Friday, but its emergency core cooling system failed to cool the reactor's core sufficiently. NISA is affiliated with the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.

Femme.Canuck Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 According to Reuters, IAEA is reporting that about 140,000 evacuated from area of Japan nuke plants. Does anyone have more information on this? I'm finding that a lot of the coverage is very repetitive... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Femme.Canuck Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 If anyone is still looking for updates/coverage, I would highly recommend CNN Live Online-- they have live coverage from their affiliate NHK. Some of the footage is old, but some of it I've only just seen for the first time. They're also explaining stuff about the reactor problems and coverage from the evacuation.Also, its been mentioned before but check out channel 514 on SHAW for coverage. Other than that, I'm using TWITTER, but its not as frequent information wise as it was yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute disgusting. http://www.3030fm.com/3.jpg horrible, one guy even said "payback for nuking pearl harbour" Sometime I questions information from the internet, makes me to see how many people believe everything they hear on twitter, example celebrity deaths. Anyways, i'm starting to really question Vancouver, and the PNW region's earthquake readiness, our building standards aren't even close to those of Japan's.

Twitter is always great at the beginning, but eventually it just becomes RT's of RT's of RT's and you don't know if you're getting new or old information. There's always people late to the party who caption with "BREAKING NEWS" and it's 2 days old. This has been very valuable for me: http://live.reuters.com/Event/Japan_earthquake2 Edited March 12, 2011 by Aquiace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?" \ I am not surprised by the historical & cultural ignorance and the racism of internet. Youtube has left it's indelible mark upon me.
