24. You have got to be shitting me

Duct tape? I love duct tape too but not to repair a tank filled with deadly radioactive water. This would be funny were it not so incredibly frightening. Nearly three years on and they still haven't figured out how to deal with this crisis. I thought the Japanese had become the innovators of the world. Guess not so much when it comes to nuclear power plants hit by a huge earthquake and a devastating tsunami. There must be some smart people in the world who could figure out a solution to this before it gets worse than it already is, but from things that I've read the Japanese have denied in the past the water was even leaking from those tanks and had rebuffed international help. I guess they don't get that the rest of the world is impacted by this. We are going to Hawaii this year and I have to wonder if we will all end up with weird cancers a couple of years later from swimming in contaminated ocean water that originated in Japan.
