It reminds me of the day. I was in Nakano, just a few stations away from Shinjuku. You managed back to the hotel? And safely back home after that? I feel sorry you stayed in Tokyo at this moment, but also glad to watch this movie log... Great report!

[Netagu]

@jun0nsj Thank you and also for your concern! Yes i managed to use email to contact a friend and after 9 hrs we finally arrived at his house, and that sunday we came back home. Soon i plan to visit again. How were things where you were that day?

[MiyuYoshida1]

I spent all day yesterday watching video's on the earthquake and I was glad that I had moved from Japan before then but I felt so terriable not just for my friends and family but for everyone.

[Netagu]

@MiyuYoshida1 im glad you were away. I feel the same though, im back home but theres so much everyone in that area and that country is going through still. my heart goes out to everyone there.

[MiyuYoshida1]

How was everyone acting when they were watching the new's?

[Netagu]

@MiyuYoshida1 There we lots of people staring at the screen. It was really cold outside but everyone watching hardly moved at all. it was kinda mixed some of us couldnt believe what was going on and others were shocked. Phones and all that harldy worked but there were quite a few using them trying to get through. I know watching the screen it was hard to absorb at first... Ganbatte Japan

[Netagu]

@iischay yes i agree with you lets keep it up. <3 Japan <3

You are welcome. Sadly, Japan will never be safe to visit.

You cannot smell, taste or see radiation. It's a silent killer that accumulates in your body for years before you get cancer. Birth defects have already begun to appear in Japan.

Doctors in Iraq have told women to stop having babies because so many are deformed. It's rare a baby is born healthy and without deformities. The USA used depleted uranium in its bombs used in both Iraq invasions (wars). Iraq is radioactive.

@hplaserjet2001 Thank you very much, I really appreciate your feedback. She is so excited about going to Japan, but if it is going to be the matter of death and life, then I have to think it twice.

Thank you again.

See my playlist Fukushima Nuclear Meltdown to learn more about the tragedy of Fukushima and the implications for Japan and the planet.

Rainwater absorbs radiation in the atmosphere.

When it rains it soaks (contaminates) the land, water and people with radiation.

The Northern Hemisphere has been continually doused (by rain) with radiation since March 11, 2012. Eventually, that radiation will also spread to the Southern Hemisphere.

@JSAUSA100

I've been to Japan three times and love the people, culture and country, but know that I can never return because of the radiation. The radiation will be there forever, it's not safe.

Google Chernobyl babies to see photos of deformities caused by radiation. Japan will have the same deformities. Cancer rates will significantly increase worldwide because of Fukushima.

Sorry, but it will never be safe to visit Tokyo or Japan again.

It's not worth the risk to take your daughter.

Russia and China rejected shipments from Japan because of radiation contamination.

These videos have maps of radiation emanating from Fukushima in the Pacific Ocean.

Part 2: Hypothetically, if you could take a pound of plutonium and distribute that in every person's lung on earth, that's enough to kill every person on earth. Each of those six reactors (Fukushima, Japan) contain more than 250 KG of plutonium." -Dr Helen Caldicott, Conference on The Nuclear Danger: Nuclear War and Nuclear Power, Montreal. March 18, 2011

Dr Helen Caldicott, Conference on The Nuclear Danger: Nuclear War and Nuclear Power, Montreal. March 18, 2011

Part 1: "Plutonium has a half life of 24,400 years so it lasts about a half a million years. … Plutonium, you only need 5 kilos to make a bomb and each reactor makes 500, no, 250 KG a year. It's so toxic that a microgram is carcinogenic, that's a millionth of a gram.

@JSAUSA100

The Japanese government recently admitted it considered evacuating Tokyo, but did not because of the chaos that would have happened.

Large sections of the ocean are dead.

Uranium Alpha 238 is a radioactive element with a half-life of 4.5 billion years.

Uranium Alpha 234 is a radioactive element with a half-life of 245,000 years.

Plutonium was found at Fukushima.

See the Canadian Coalition for Nuclear Responsibility for more information.

@JSAUSA100

All of Japan has been contaminated forever. All of the North Hemisphere has been soaked in radiation since March 2011. Fukushima is far worse than Chernobyl.

Japan has been in full meltdown since March 11, 2012.

600,000+ radioactive fuel rods (12 ft x .5 inches) were stored at Fukushima. Most of those were destroyed and went in into the atmosphere with the explosions. If you stood next to a fuel rod, you'd get a deadly dose of radiation that kills within days.

@hplaserjet2001 I am planning to take my daughter to Tokyo Disneyland, is it safe to visit Japan now or should way a little longer because of the radiation? Please advise. Thank you in advance.
