Weird image. What are those pink lines in the smoke cloud just to left of tower. Some photoshopping ?

I’m guessing they are co ordinating the talking points....it’s typical in the ‘age of Obama’.

Is there an online link for live Fox or do you have to be a cable tv payer to see it?

Didn’t do any photoshopping, just captured and posted it as quickly as I could.

Nuclear Expert on Fox News just said, “This type of nuclear accident has never occurred before.”

They are getting 1 year exposure in one hour now.

The radiation levels may start increasing exponentially now. I don't see how they will be able to continue efforts to cool the control rods.

Are you seriously saying that the radiological particulates (fallout) do not move through the air, wind, atmosphere etc????

I think the online FNC sources have dried up unless someone knows better.

Prayers up for all the people in Japan. As if things weren’t bad enough already.

Not likely a world wide event. Chernobyl was big, but even it was negligible outside areas of Eastern Europe and Russia.

CNN’s live report is being understated, saying a small explosion and small leak of cesium, maybe from one rod.

Fox is on and sounding more concerned.

It would seem to me they weren’t cooling.

Japanese government now warning of further large aftershocks, urging people to move to higher ground.

Are they expecting another big one?

The Japanese are secretive people. That is being demonstrated now.

I think that’s just something to do with the tv screen they were recording off of.

This has probably curtailed the containment operations at the other reactors next to this one? Terrible!
