Mystery: Tokyo Geiger Counter Live Feed Suddenly Goes Offline. Conspiracy?

This website... usstream.tv: Live Feed - Tokyo, Japan Geiger Counter has been showing the radiation levels in Tokyo on a live feed.

It was working a few hours ago (5-6 hours ago last time I saw it working).
I just checked on it and guess what?

Now it is "OFF AIR".

Weird because the website loads, so its not "over-loaded" by web traffic. Just "offline"
Is it part of a Conspiracy?

Or loss of electrical power?
Or leaving town and taking the equipment with him?

Anyone can translate the Japanese on that web-page for us? It might help determine the source of the feed.

UPDATE ! ! !
The Live Feed Has Returned... see posts below...

Just a guess, possibly affected by the rolling power outages all over the country.

Or it could be Aliens?

the top part says the flash player crashed. Seems kind of suspicious. What were the levels like when it was up? I'm curious because i live very close to tokyo,in kawasaki city

I'm sorry to say, but radiation levels are rising heavily around Tokyo as well, at the moment.

18:06: Radiation levels in Chiba prefecture, near Tokyo, are more than 10 times above normal levels, Kyodo reports.

Updates

Started a thread here that is looking for boots on the ground to record radiation levels. We have site that do this but as you can see they are not reliable.

okay it looks like it's back up and working. I'm seeing it fluctuate between around 48cpm - 50cpm? Sorry, i don't know what levels are high or low. Could you help me out? What are normal levels in this area and how much is a dangerous amount?

I'm not knowledgeable in nuclear radiation either, but this little graphic was posted:



If only I knew how cpm relates to mSv.

The Live feed HAS RETURNED!!! As of right now the level is 45cpm... 6 hours ago when I first saw it, it was around 30. So levels are rising in Tokyo Confirmed!

Great image!!! Thats very informative. I love visual diagrams such as these.

Am seeing on the internet that cpm related to counts per minute.

Looking up radiation levels on wikipedia, at the moment, but can;t find any relationt to the unit they have there with is Sv.

Not sure what that means, but I am sure we will find out.

Interesting.
This page says you get 360cpm when you are on a plane.

if that is true then what we are seeing here (40-50 cpm) is nothing more that background radiation.

and all is (currently) normal in Tokyo

Here we go...
CPM (Counts Per Minute) converting to Rems

Convert radiation in units of CPM to radiation in units of mR. Geiger counters commonly use a conversion ratio of 1,000 CPM = 1 mR. This conversion ratio is not exact due to the definition of the rem.

Is it really live feed though? It appears to me to be a recorded loop.

It`s not unusual for me to have several browsers open at once. I noticed yesterday that I had two such feeds open and that they were not identical. The readings were not the same, and had the feed been live, they would have been the same. There are seven hours difference between mine and the levels are, get this: 12.05cpm and 13.34cpm
So I suggest we first compare our sources, ok? Mine is Tokyo geiger counter

That is rather weird. I think Japan and the media is trying to downplay how serious the situation truly is. The initial first reactor explosion shot radioactive soot 800 meters in the air, not to mention the continuous radiation having been leaked since the problems had began at the plant.
