You have been wrong about Fukushima from day one. You really are blind to the truth, aren't you?

Well, the science that the 'crazy' anti-nukers have been saying for 2 years now is dripping out bit by bit.

All one has to do is see the pictures of the damaged #4 concrete structure blown apart, and the fire company boom pumping water into the fuel pool.

And notice there are no pictures of the rods in the spent fuel pools, no videos from deep in the #4 pool.... Or do you have one pic up your sleeve?

Your wishful thinking and denial of pictorial evidence reminds me of the style of climate deniers.
