Japan nuclear crisis: Pensioners seek work at Fukushima
Loading...
Uploaded by PiratHB on Jun 1, 2011
A group of more than 200 Japanese pensioners is volunteering to tackle the nuclear crisis at the Fukushima power station.
The "Skilled Veterans Corps", as they call themselves, is made up of retired engineers and other professionals, all over the age of sixty.
One of the group, Yasuteru Yamada, told the BBC's Roland Buerk that they should be facing the dangers of radiation, not the young.

respect to u from kuwait

Interesting how the the concept KAMIKAZE is understood differently by the British interviewer Buerk and the Japanese interviewee, Yamada. The interviewer was quite, quite culturally insensitive here. Yamada makes the logical conclusion that the effect of radiation damage to his life is far less than to to that of young people.
One very sensible pensioner!!

Mr.Yamada strongly denied the image "KAMI-KAZE",but media wish to act the group as Kamikaze,because that is a news. refer "Fukishima 50" then next should be "Fukushima 60".
