In reply to the discussion: Michio Kaku on Pacifica Radio 5/11 - status of #4 reactor - dire situation at Fukushima [View all]dixiegrrrrl
(60,153 posts)49. Since I live in the BP spill area
I can tell you it was a replay out of Jaws... remember when the mayor of the town was hiding the shark attack because it would scare the tourists?
Pretty much the same thing in the Gulf.
Government insisted fish, shell fish, etc were safe to eat, independing tests showed they were loaded with oil
inside of them, jokes were made about being able to cook them and not have to oil the pan.
People going out on the water were getting sick, tarballs on the beach were being covered up at 5 am by BP,
before the tourists hit the beach...on and on and STILL problems are arising.

One, Fukushima is certainly a slow motion nightmare and a massive enviro-clusterfuck.

I remember A. Gunderson saying similar stuff about spontaneous fission 6 months ago.
