8.9 Quake hits off coast of Japan! Live Updates.

press confrence just went on about reactor number 2..."rod is exposed" and " is of grave concern"

english translation

YokosoNews

broadcast was halted briefly due to a quake shaking Tokoyo

Someone should write to FOX or CNN and tell them what's up, I'd love for someone to call them out on the whole situation. It effects them as well.

The new one in Nagano is probably related to the 6.2 or 5.8 that happened about 12 hours? after the East coast 8.9. They are different faults. A few years back that area (Nagano Niigata had a terrible quake that also knocked a nuke plant offline. Not this bad though. They just said on the Japanese channel that they lost control of #2 so they have been trying to go with sea water cooling (probably for a while now) and that this will end up releasing hydrogen again. That is 3 that are out never to be used as power plants again. In the long run Japan is looking at a long term power supply problem to add to everthing else..

Water level falls but still above fuel roads at Fukushima's No. 2 reactor #news #japan ##fukushima #tsunami

the 6.0 in nagano is being considerd an aftershock even though
it was no where near the epicenter of the oringnal quake

NHK just said that it is in the same situation as the others. They usually sugar coat anything...so for them to admit to it probably means its worse than they are saying.

Long exposure settings on the camera. If you look at the starts there not perfectly round, but smeared across the screen a little. That's how you can see.

The Japan Nuke Safety commission is holding a presser now. He just said TEPCO told him the #2 sea water cooling system is not functioning properly. So the coolant level above the rods is dropping and pressure in the container has went up so they are now as like with the others.....venting hydrogen. The guy just said that they don't even know if the equipment to pump the water to the pool (a fire engine) has survived the explosion and still in working order....sounds a bit keystone cop to me.

Third reactor loses cooling system after blast at Japan's #Fukushima #nuclear plant, but containment walls remain intact

What if it's from live TV?

How do you go about posting info about that?


Also, to be on topic:

Tokyo shares have plummeted more than six per cent as investors reacted to the earthquake (AFP). The Bank of Japan says it will provide $180bn of emergency funds to the country's financial system to try to provide stability. Read more: www.news.com.au...

If it is from live TV you can just add "from audio source - and whatever network/newschannel"

reply to post by shadowland8


That's my question how do you link that...I can just add the HNK live stream link but by the time you get there it will have moved on...

ETA: Sounds good thanks for clearing that up
