The failure helped expose entire communities to harmful radiation, the report said.<br /><br />“Authorities failed to think of the disaster response from the perspective of victims,” Mr. Hatamura said.<br /><br />[That's because the authorities are more worried about the affect on the economy than on the victims, even if it is well over a 1,000,000 victims and half the country's landmass affected.--MB]Mauibradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16759237357642699345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-82865206819536391462011-12-24T13:33:44.688-10:002011-12-24T13:33:44.688-10:00Yes, it was in the 100,000 or more range in the U....Yes, it was in the 100,000 or more range in the U.S. and as the event at Fukushima is still not contained it will keep going higher without the explicit evidence being linked to Fukushima except eventually in Japan where the figure will go over a 1,000,000 within a few years and will eventually be undeniable there in Japan. We'll probably not hear the truth in the MSM in the U.S. <br /><br />Nuclear power is what allowed Japan to grow to the size of economy that it is and is about 20% of the electricity generated in the U.S. and worldwide. There are those who believe the economic system could not lose that 20% and remain intact, and so they will lie, steal, and cheat to deny even the most immediate dangers of nuclear power as in Fukushima or anywhere else in the world.Mauibradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16759237357642699345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-77574583826459379922011-12-23T13:23:52.485-10:002011-12-23T13:23:52.485-10:00another video; better music but similar message
