Japan 2011

I know everyone knows now but japan is my favorite country in the world, and i just hate to see it like this.
Things that have occured
1.nuclear power plants exploding
2.earthquakes
3.aftershocks
4.and the tsunami
for me im horrified, japan is amazing and i would hate to see this happen again but anyways this topic is for chat on the disater and if anyone wants to know about the nuclear crisis visit daniels topic.

p.s BUNGIE.NET are selling super-duper-awsome wristbands going towards japans aid.

A nuclear power plant didn't explode, and Nuclear Power Plants, in fact, do not explode.

They just leak radiation.

The rest is true, however.

Really? Chernobyl exploded and caught on fire. Also, there have been a few radioactive hydrogen explosions in the containment vessels, and it has reached level 7. Have a few links:
Fukoshima nuuclear incident
Chernobyl nuclear disaster

Perhaps I should have phrased that better.

Yes, they do explode, but not to the exaggerated levels of fiction. They explode much like any building would, they don't release a country-wide mushroom cloud.
They do release radiation across vast distances, however.

Much better. Anyway, my job on this topic is done, so I'll be seeing you later.

Have to agree with Joe. Only way you'd see a mushroom cloud is of course from a atomic bomb. But if one of the planets leaks a huge amount of radiation, it could head for our west coast.

If I remember correctly, presence of radiation has already been detected.

Actually, nuclear explosions aren't the only type of explosion in which a mushroom cloud forms. My evidence is right here. Also, there's a cool GIF below showing the evolution, for lack of a better term, of a mushroom cloud.

Still it would need to be a larger cloud of radiation than that to reach our west coast and yeah, radiation has reached to our coast but it isn't a issue.

If it's reached our coast, isn't it an issue?

The radiation isn't strong enough to cause us harm. It would be a normal amount of radiation we would experience during a normal day anyway.

I wonder about that...

I do too. That's what I hard on Good Morning America. If more radiation was released, then I have no idea how much it could affect us. Massive amounts could be deadly maybe but something just a bit more than the radiation that hit our coast, I'm not sure.

It could be bad. I'm already taking some meds to make sure it doesn't effect me too badly.

I probably don't have to be worried about it as much for the moment since I'm on the eastern part.

I'm just not taking any chances.

Understood.

Joke of incredibly bad taste in 3... 2...

What's shaking Japan?

Probably one of those tsumos.
