"As five are reported dead, will nuclear officials ever reveal the true heroics of Japan's 'Fukushima Fifty'?"

Makes me feel choked up.

the 5 were most likely killed by the explosions, not radiation

All right, that’s enough. This thread is getting far to reasonable.

All you guys citing science and credible research, and you know who you are, give me one rank right here.

Now, repeat after me:

DOOMED, DOOMED, DOOMED, WE’RE ALL DOOMED. WE’LL ALL BE DEAD BY THIS TIME TOMORROW.

I can’t hear you, ladies.

With that out of the way, “There are a band?” Illiterate bastard.

Five are now believed to have died, 15 are injured and others have said they know the radiation will kill them as they battle to cool overheating reactors and spent fuel rods.

A long time observer of the Japanese culture told me last Tuesday: "There will be more than enough volunteers to get the job done".

Parsing this article is a necessity. It's one "H" of horrible thing to be writing when they don't know the facts. If later some of this is again reported as truth, hopefully it will be in a factual, objective mode.

Note the words: "But as the stricken reactors at the Fukushima nuclear plant appears to stabilise, plant owners are still remaining tight-lipped about the so-called 'Fukushima Fifty' - the heroes fighting to save Japan from nuclear catastrophe."

Those nasty, could care less "plant owners" using the lives of those people without a care about them or their families is the intimation, or the attempted subliminal intent. I find this wording quite propagandist by Leftist MSM.

"Five are now believed to have died, 15 are injured and others have said they know the radiation will kill them as they battle to cool overheating reactors and spent fuel rods."

The Daily Mail says "they believe" five are dead, so that means they don't know, right!? Therefore the other stats are suspect in my mind.

I think they published this as part of their participation in the coordinated Leftist assault on the nuclear industry personally.

I'm saddened the Left finds it so convenient to use the crisis, and the sorrow, and the pain we all feel for the Japanese people at this time for advantage in advancing their anti nuclear agenda.

I’ve been thinking since the beginning this would be the result. Bless them, they are true heroes, no matter the ultimate outcome. Which is looking better and better every day, by the way.

Somebody should tell the author that there are many more than 50 people rotating in and out of those areas.

One can only imagine what it must be like to be on the top of one of those containment buildings, clad in a lead suit and mask, the clock ticking, and attacking a piece of exposed rebar with a portable sawzall or concrete drill, trying to open a ventilation hole and knowing that one spark could set off the hydrogen drifting up from below. Needless to say, it is probably not a task that is covered in the plant operator manual.

Call me back when you are sure that 5 are dead, and that they died from radiation poisoning.

"Five are now believed to have died, "

Believed by whom, and on what basis? Reporters are such morons.

Look up “The 47 Ronin” to better understand Japanese culture.

Believed to be dead?

No, you are dead, or you are not. You are never believed to be dead.

UNLESS, they are missing employees. Those folks would be missing from the explosions, not radiation. Unless that is some REALLY SICK Sh#t....

I saw this 5 person claim a couple days ago, and there appears to be no proof of that. Only ...believe...
