Japan, 1 year (almost) after tsunami

[Locut0s]

not to mention the escaped isotopes were mostly short-lived elements.

We aren't talking 25000 years to decontaminate. The vast majority (99%) is already gone.

Agreed. Though the areas right around the reactor will probably be cordoned off for many years

It's interesting how there's almost 0 looting / scavenging in Japan. Very few is any other cultures on the planet are as unified as this. Which isn't to say it's a 100% positive thing (though it mostly is).

That's because they're developed, don't have a population of 1 billion, and have never been a melting pot.

I wouldn't rebuild anything that the water swept thru. Move everything up those hills in the background. Pretty cool pics tho.

Or else get going first on a 150-foot-high seawall that's also 100ft thick. Screw you, ocean. You stay the hell out of here.

Why are news pictures always so damn small.. cause average joe has a 15" crt still?

Sadly it seems that Boston.com is one of the few that has acknowledged that cameras have improved beyond primitive webcam technology, or else their IT departments don't want to invest in putting together a system that'll ensure that they're not having pictures uploaded directly from a camera or scanner without resizing or resaving, otherwise you just know we'd have articles with huge pictures at 6MB each. Or worse, they'll somehow get resaved as BMP files and put up that way.
Nope. All images shall be resized to 0.1MP.:\

What did they do with all that trash? I wouldn't think they'd have the land-fill capacity.

Is it our workers or our government that stands between us and recoveries?

They show how disabled America is under the weight of its bureaucracy.

Japan is notorious for bureaucracy and red tape.

Last year, right after the earthquake people were bitching that the bureaucracy was slowing down aid: http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,2060773,00.html

I believe Japan uses a lot of trash to create reclaimed land.

Burn it.

It's easy to show a successful recovery when everything that happened last year was entirely fabricated. :whiste:

What makes you think there's really any such place as Japan? Its a fiction, invented to make Western workers work harder for fear of competition. No such place, in fact there's pretty much nothing east of France, its just ocean from there till you reach California (the Cold war was a scam by the pentagon to get more funding).

The conspiracy goes deeper than you think.

Average Joe is probably looking at that pic on a 3.5" phone screen.

This thread I created almost a year ago will answer your many questions.

Are you trolling by being a serious idiot, or by being a smart ass?

Actually, the conspiracy theory involved real destruction.
