And striving for accuracy and consulting domain experts is a bad thing since when?
And if significant technological differences doesn't interest you, here's a political one: People have actually been evacuated, even though the Japanese government claimed no risk at the time of doing so. Even if these people lose their homes and farms, and no-one can return to the region for 50 years, they still have their lives and health.
- marshray 16y agoDon't be ridiculous, I never said either accuracy or experts were a bad thing. I've been watching the translated coverage on NHK World from their site and ustream since the beginning. This coverage seems be 30 minutes or more ahead of other English media. The Japanese government has warned since the early hours of the possibility of the release of "radioactive gases" from the pressure release. The elements in that gas were said to have very short half-lives and not pose a risk to population. On the other hand, it blew up the reactor building. (According to Wikipedia they tried to hold it in the building to let it decay before releasing it to the atmosphere.) Since then the officials have been warning about possibility of release of "radioactive substances".
