Bambi Buckets On The Japanese Reactor?

[MMike]

The potential for flight crew contamination I assume would be somewhat mitigated by wearinf some type of NBCW suit and limiting the time each crew spent over the reactors.

 

That being said, what will happen to the helicopters? I would not like to be the engineer working on any of these aircraft every day or even five years from now and being unknowingly exposed to all the radioactive dust contamination secreted in every corner of the airframe

 

I'm pretty sure they abandoned/retired all the firefighting equipment from Chernobyl......I wonder if they will do the same.

 

(It will show up on Craigslist........)

are they flipping insane or just morbidly stupid?

 

for anyone to think water bucketing the cooling water would ever work is a few bricks short of a wall

 

idiots.

 

 

Maybe they're desperate?

 

 

In difficult situations, some people run towards the danger, while others run away.

I'm one of those who runs towards it.

If you knew what I did as a second job you'd have lost the argument.

 

In this particular case, the desperation shows and the world should listen. These guys have no back up plan, little strategy and zero resources and apparently a track record that indicated they would have a disaster sooner rather than later.

Essentially they are killing people in futile attempts to stop something they cannot.

 

They dropped the ball long ago.

Let me guess... You're the Ninja who works security at the Mall.

 

 

 

Can someone please point me towards the 'ignore' feature.

Sometimes with the eyes of the world on you during a crisis the statement "We haven't figured out the best solution yet" is not going to be accepted. Look at the whole BP thing, they just blindly flailed away at that situation so it looked like they were doing something until they could figure it out. Same thing here in my opinion. Nobody wants to admit they don't know what to do.

The ball wasn't the only thing dropped.

I only hope the 3 reactors don't go to full meltdown. The south east winds will send radioactive material directly to Vancouver! That's what it looks like now with the jet steam in it present position.

 

Not good!

This is a horrible situation. But to put things in perspective, Freedom loving America has detonated 900+ nuclear explosion on there own soil. Most under ground. But there's 100+ air blasts. Thats just america. Watching a detonation was tourist attraction in Vegas.

Maybe they should be longlining in hoses to attach to pumps instead?
