It seems like we are getting a lot of conflicting reports on the new aftershock and possible new tsunami. The new explosion sounds initially similar to the one that happened in the other reactor.

Just checked NHK. Latest reports say tsunami still going to occur or is occurring... the JMA was denying that a tsunami was generated based on the intensity of the earthquake, but it seems a tsunami has since been observed despite their denial. Maybe the big quake loosened the ground and the constant barrage of aftershocks caused some kind of landslide along the continental shelf?

I think I would rather trust a helicopter spotter rather then a news conference.

everyone is really skittish.. fox is probably making up the undersea landslide since the quakes of recent dont seem to support a tsunami

:lol: trust? why trust any report? the rule of the weekend has been that most reports are contradicted within 10 minutes.

As always the truth lies near the middle.

The one thing I've learned is that there is no such thing as an unbiased nuclear expert.

Yeah it is pretty pathetic. Folks seem to get jittery when anything nuclear comes up--doesn't help when the news media hypes everything up.

I'm just going to watch. I have no clue how any of this works. All I know is the reports on this are going to be sketchy. I mean, unless anderson cooper decides he should repel down into the reactor core to have a look I am skeptical.
