Same time yesterday and the day before and the day before. Fire here, explosion there, meltdown everywhere. I pray that Japan gets a handle on this soon. Our media is in PANIC MODE. I dont know if they can take much more if this.
No kidding. Do you sometimes get the feeling they actually hope for the worst?
I actually think a "professional panic" mode is appropriate for the nuclear operators and emergency workers at this point.
The continuously developing scenario is so far outside of reasonably expected bounds (primarily because of multiple reactors involved and catastrophic failure of utilities and safety systems), that a routine response is no longer applicable. They are in the completely unenviable position of at this point of throwing multiple technical spit wads at the problem and hoping one sticks.
Certainly, a bury head in Honshu beach sand denial mode on the part of certain FReepers is absurd.
I pray also that Japan gets a handle on this soon.
“Our media is in PANIC MODE. I dont know if they can take much more if this.”
Actually our media is in “KEEP EVERY BODY IN A PANIC MODE.” While there is legitimate concern, don’t think they aren’t fanning the flames as high as they can, and laughing all the way to the bank.
I’m not gonna go along for the ride.
