Fecks sake. Like theres not enough hindering them.

I was fuming earlier as some rescue workers from our region were heading there to help but have been turned away due to 'red tape'. They literally had to sit in the airport and watch these people on the TV's suffer and knowing they could help but got told to go home

It really is like theres someone 'up there' thinking "Ooooh what can I do next???"

I really hope everyone in Japan can get back on their feet sooner rather than later. This just seems to be going on and on.

And what is everybody's thoughts on the Fukushima Daiichi power plant? I am fairly anti-nuclear, so naturally these sorts of things scare the crap out of me and maybe I am being too alarmist in the scheme of things. It's just that nobody has come out and said exactly what the plan is to successfully stablise the reactors and they are running out of options. They're now even scared to send helicoptors to pour seawater into the vessels, because the people inside would be exposed.

I saw a pretty harrowing report on the news of hospital patients stranded within the evacuation zone and doctors risking their lives to stay there with them in the fallout. But they can't obtain the medical supplies they need because everybody is too scared enter the area.

I don't believe it's a case of too scared to enter, I think people are not allowed to enter.

Don't be sorry.

US officials have concluded that the Japanese warnings have been insufficient, and that, deliberately or not, they have understated the potential threat of what is taking place inside the nuclear facility, according to the New York Times. Gregory Jaczko, the chairman of the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission, earlier said he believed that all the water in the spent fuel pool at reactor 4 had boiled dry, leaving fuel rods stored there exposed. "We believe that radiation levels are extremely high, which could possibly impact the ability to take corrective measures," he told a Congressional committee.

Can somebody try and work out what this is in this ideo please. It's driving me nuts.

At about 5:33/5:34 a white speck seems to appear around the middle of the screen at the front of the water and moves really strangely above and it appears through stuff in the path of the tsunami. It also zig zags, at first I thought it was a cat, but there is no way it can be.
It may help watching it on fullscreen.

I seen this video on a web site I was reading yesterday, the person that posted it was wondering the same as you, I have no clue what it is though.

I'm going to try and find it again and see if they got any replies.

Yeah I just had a look online. Nobody can seem to explain what it is?

[Novo]

Can't even see what you mean, just looked at it about 10 times then and saw nothing

[Benjamin]

Keep watching it from the time I said (on fullscreen). It'll suddenly catch your eye, it's a very small white fleck moving the opposite direction to the water and it's movement is very jumpy and sporadic (kind of like the way a fly moves).

I can't find the page I was looking at the video on, I must have deleted my browsing history.

Will it not be a piece of debris going with the ebb of the tide?

[Novo]

It moves like an Animal as well

No because it will still be moving forwards, look at everything else. It also seems to move through stuff (that could just be my eyes) and it does sharp turns, but nothing else seems to.

See that's what I thought at first, but what animal? No dog or cat moves that fast and at that distance.


LOL, people are saying it's UFO's, I don't think it is, but I'm curious to know what it is. I think the nicest answer I found was that it was the spirit of one of the victims leaving the body as they died and looking for other spirits in the wave.

[Kerry]

I've not watched it yet, was just taking a guess

[KG.]

I saw it as a bit of debris breaking off and going backwards into the wave, because of wind maybe? It does move quite strangely though.

[GypsyGoth]

It's probably a pokémon

Here's another vid of the tsunami with a white thing entering from the left at about 26 seconds
