But I'm beginning to wonder about the sanity of people in general.

This is what is going on in a nut shell, you guys cannot handle losing control of this situation. That manifests itself as you idiotically stating everything is okay as Nuclear Reactor buildings explode.

Not going Chernobyl over and over again is different from saying everything is ok.

as Nuclear Reactor buildings explode.

You do understand this is quite different than "Reactor Explodes" as the headline would imply, yes?

Have we stated that everything is ok? No. All we are saying is that the article doesn’t actually say what you want it to say, and that the statement acknowledging the possibility of a meltdown is not the same as the one which says that a meltdown will occur.

When people are sending me PMs asking if they are ok in the Pac Northwest, then I know that the irresponsible fearmongers need to be slapped down, hard.

But, go one, continue ‘reporting’, ‘tweeting’ whatever. I’ll stick to the facts.

I never said everything is OK. I am also not an idiot. I do my best to come across as respectful of other individuals and give my take on things. That is all. Please be respectful of others too. Disrespect adds to the chaos at hand.

Rational fear is one thing. Yes I am concerned, but not in a panic.

I am using my brain, my mechanical engineering skills, power plant experience, nuclear plant experience, and common sense to filter what is happening to make sense of it.

Irrational fear is counterproductive and not helpful in emergency situations. There is a lot of that going around.
