You really think that rescue operations in Japan are being taken away from the earthquake and tsunami efforts?
Seriously.
How would we know? All we hear about is the nuclear plant, with fake fear mongering.
I lived in PA during the Three Mile Island problem. If you listened to the news, you would have thought that half the state needed to be evacuated and all the food supply destroyed, especially the dairy cows. They were testing that milk all the time. Nothing much really happened.
