Japan hit by 8.9 quake and following tsunami

[Syt]

That doesn't mean you can't try create some hysteria.

Example from free tabloid "Heute": "How dangerous is the Atomic Cloud for Austria?" Conclusion: "No reason to panic, but if several factors should align unfavorably, then ...."

One of the few good things made by Berlusconi's government has been a new commitment to build nuclear plants in Italy, but I fear this incident will give fresh arguments to the naysayers again

Holy Shit

I've seen that first one a couple of times on the Beeb. There's cars driving along the road in the background just as the wave hits, and the camera turns away just before it reaches them

Volcano erupts in southern Japan. http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/la-fgw-japan-quake-volcano-20110314,0,2486939.story

Amazing that a volcano that has lain dormant for several weeks suddenly erupts.

To be fair, it hadn't erupted for two years until January, and the most recent eruption is the biggest in 52 years, so it could easily be linked to the before and after effects of the earthquake around the Pacific Ring of Fire.

I remember the volcano going off the first time a few weeks back, nobody hurt.

Austrian media are following the developments in the nuclear plants closely. They're not actually going , but I feel there's a certain smugness about the coverage and the local experts that seems to say, "And that's why we don't have nuclear power plants. We always said they're too dangerous. Here you have it."

Enjoy that skin cancer from lack of an ozone layer then.

Austrians don't like any clouds that don't have Jewish ashes in them.

Austrians.

They'll get theirs when the Caliphate makes them serfs and takes their girl-children as girl-concubines.

There was a debate on Polish tv between pro-nuclear and anti-nuclear energy academics. It ended with the anti-nuclear guy questioning the pro-nuclear guy scientific qualifications and calling him a peasant.

It being Poland they both probably were.
