Fresh close-up video of Fukushima destroyed reactor, firefighters at plant

Follow latest updates at http://twitter.com/rt_com and http://www.facebook.com/RTnews Tokyo's utility company said on Wednesday that black smoke has been seen emerging from Unit 3 of the crippled nuclear plant in northeastern Japan, prompting a new evacuation of the complex. Officials with Tokyo Electric Power Co. said on Wednesday that workers from the entire Fukushima Dai-ichi plant have been temporarily evacuated. Operators of the power station have been desperately trying to cool the reactors and spent fuel pools at the plant after it was damaged by this month's tsunami, which knocked out power to the cooling systems.

There are about 1000 reactors in the Northern Hemisphere. If the pole shifts most of them will melt down. I would recommend moving to Australia, the winds do not cross the equator.

@Etrain2010 Wow you're an absolute imbecile :D Your "logic" makes no sense what so ever! You have no idea what radiation is, and you somehow think that god is the creator of the human race, even though this fairytale has been disproved so many times :D I wish you would some day go back to school, learn the basics of it: english, grammar, biology, evolution etc, and then read your comment again. It would make your day I promise :D

And they assured us it would never come to this because three fail safe systems would have prevented any disaster. Why have the world been taken in by the mad scientists and the mad hatters who run the Nuclear Industry.
