RT's 10 that shaped 2011: Japan's Tsunami & Fukushima Meltdown

RT is remembering the ten key events of 2011. Today, we turn to Japan's massive earthquake and tsunami that killed more than 10-thousand people. It also caused a series of explosions at the Fukushima nuclear plant that put the world on watch, fearing an atomic disaster. RT's Ivor Bennett was in Japan in the hours after the tragedy struck.

Who REALLY runs our world? search "israel Did 911" and search "ZionCrimeFactory" for proof.

"US Rep. McKinney has accused the pro-Israel Lobby in America (AIPAC, ADL, etc) for ruining her political career.She refused to sign the pro-Israel pledge from Congress and took a pro-Palestinian stance. Because of this, she said “war was declared” on her by them. In 2009 she told TIU's Ognir that “more than 99% of Congress work for Zionist-Israeli interests.”

Google Agent Orange, that's way worse than unit 731.

And if it's "karma" getting back at Japan, why is it such a rich and prosperous country? Their electronics and cars are everywhere, so what did they do to deserve this then? That's right, Karma doesn't exist.

Short half life = safe. Because most of the radiation will be gone.

Long half life = dangerous. Because most of the radiation will still be around.

The radiation decay follows a curve. Fission plant by-products produces both types.

I'm not wrong.

[Dave O'Hara]

wrong. Common misconception.. Research nuclear power/radiation.

[Dave O'Hara]

well said.

We had a group of hockey players ready to go help but we couldn't figure out how to get the dogsleds across the Ocean.

[Gotalighter]

no, I don't suggest we go that far in helping, but shit it seemed like Canada and America just stood by. Red cross went in there, and so did other countries. Its not as if though we don't have the resources to provide some more aid. I don't know.. we could've done more is all I'm saying, but its not like debating it with you helps.

[Gotalighter]

okay, first off, I don't need your opinion on you think natives do, second I smoke weed, I don't shoot up a needle or smoke crack and honestly, fuck you. don't talk to me.
