40 years ago??????

You said "the company that built the plant did a great job". I said, except for where they put the backup power generators.

And yes, in the intervening years, nobody else apparently bothered to address that original design flaw. Must have thought it would never be a concern, that water could never get that high. Turns out they were wrong.

Japan is a f'n island. Where were inspectors in the 40 years since it was built and likely 50 since it was designed. Give me a break. You dislike GE cause you dislike America.

And again we suddenly segue into the weird land where Dell just lets the talking voices in his head out ....

I own GE stock. GE is good

I love America. My patriotism is second to none. GFY for saying I hate America, you ignorant jackwad.

The cause of the problems with the reactors was lack of power due to the earthquake knocking out electricity. The backup diesel power generators were working when the electric went out, but then were inactivated when flooded by the tsunami. No power = no cooling capability = where we are today.

Put the diesel on the hill. So Japan country can be radiation free!

Oh, they have a sea wall in front of the plant. They got this covered. They've got this. They've prepared for all possible scenarios. Japan can safely do Nuclear. Even Obama said so.

Yeah, except for that 0.000000001% chance of the 9.0 earthquake immediately followed by 3-meter tsunami ...

And Japan does a better job than we do.

The cause is no one figured out there was a problem since the plant was built. Maybe the International Atomic Energy Agency should have given a clue? All should be beaten like a red headed step child.

3rd level of defense (batteries) has to be able to last at least a week (not a day or 2.) This ain't the Little League snack bar.

This is so ridiculous. HAHAHAHA!!


Riot you have to be a veteran troll. Where did you originate? Something Awful? Newsgroups?
