  • @carabnr not sure, but maybe you mean "watashi no tomodachi"? That means "my friends"
    by bo 5/4/2011 1:39:05 AM

  • Money is my friend?

  • I write so sloppily... Thanks Bo
    by carabnr 5/4/2011 1:41:14 AM

  • @Ralph Unger now you sound like TEPCO
    by bo 5/4/2011 1:41:17 AM

  • LOL.

  • Some of the thickness in the air on the webcam may be from the kosa which Japan is experiencing now, the thick yellow sand that blows across east Asia from Mongolia. Any fog that exists will be much murkier because of the kosa right now. Here in Hiroshima it is sunny, but the air is still murky and thick

  • Fascinating Bo
    by carabnr 5/4/2011 1:44:23 AM

  • @Bo "Watashi no tomodachi wa okane desu" :-)

  • Bob Alverez on FB says he met with a Japanese parliamentarian who told him that TEPCO and the governmental nuclear establishment treat Kan and the GOJ like mushrooms, kept in the dark and fed BS
    by bo 5/4/2011 1:45:16 AM

  • @Ralph Unger now even more like TEPCO
    by bo 5/4/2011 1:45:39 AM

  • That really was the first translation that popped up . I must have made a typo.
    by Ralph Unger 5/4/2011 1:46:25 AM

  • @bo I can believe that, I don't think those in government have properly informed themselve they just accept what tepco tell them

  • the one on the right has some really bright spots like flame
    by elainekirk 5/4/2011 1:48:20 AM

  • @bo Before you jumped on I mentioned the comment out of the head technical engineer trying to fix this mess. He mentioned how trying to get approval to build a tsunami wall in front of Reactors 3-4 he had to build an extremely good case to get the people in charge to allow it. It sounds to me like the guy with the brains and plans is being hamstrung by the corporate office.

  • Any one watch the pin Dean posted above? I'ts wild shows workers at the plant... decon and all... In Japanese though... Bo you should look at it.

  • @elainekirk on #4 on the right end?
    by Nancy 5/4/2011 1:49:06 AM

  • Maybe I should not go to this site to learn Japanese. animeworld.com
    by Ralph Unger 5/4/2011 1:49:40 AM

  • yes is that #4 cripes I see them on the top edge
    by elainekirk 5/4/2011 1:49:44 AM

  • @carabnr will do, just got on. @Nancy I am a public employee (an academic, not a scientist) and I can tell you that any change to existing protocol at my workplace seems like mastering 7-dimensional chess.
    by bo 5/4/2011 1:50:11 AM

  • I can't quite tell on the flame thing, if it is flames or light playing on the steam. But there is now steam off of 4. Steam rolling low off of 3 and the spurt out of 2 is coming back.
    by Nancy 5/4/2011 1:50:18 AM

  • @Ralph Unger that would be a very Japanese way to learn it
    by bo 5/4/2011 1:51:07 AM

  • @bo My hubby works for the govt here. I worked enough technical jobs where I had to try to convince executives who were clueless about technology to do or not do something. I can understand this guy's frustration only his must be on a massive scale.
    by Nancy 5/4/2011 1:51:31 AM

  • The video has a close up of #3 from the west side of the NW crushed area and moves sooouth to #4
    by carabnr 5/4/2011 1:52:36 AM

  • @Nancy do you live in or near Tokyo?
    by bo 5/4/2011 1:53:28 AM

  • @bo sorry, U.S. I didn't specify.
    by Nancy 5/4/2011 1:55:06 AM

  • @Nancy, ah, governmental inertia is global
    by bo 5/4/2011 1:55:58 AM

  • @bo Very much so. :-)

  • The Live cam just zoomed in on #3/#4
    by Askwhy 5/4/2011 2:03:50 AM

  • ...and just zoomed back out
    by Askwhy 5/4/2011 2:04:34 AM

  • It must be the SPF. Looking very hot. Zoom in, focus, zoom out. Cameraman's credo.
    by Ralph Unger 5/4/2011 2:06:29 AM

  • Either he is out of focal length or there is too much distortion from the air. Yep trying a closeer target.
    by Ralph Unger 5/4/2011 2:09:00 AM

  • Oh everything is smoking so lets move the camera to reactors 5 and 6!
    by Nancy 5/4/2011 2:09:12 AM

  • Is it just me or are there heat vapors across the camera?
    by Nancy 5/4/2011 2:10:12 AM

  • LONG telephoto, the heat haze makes everything wavery.
    by radioguy 5/4/2011 2:10:48 AM

  • He is using a telescope with a camera, I have such a setup so I think I can see what he is doing. Mine is only an eight inch reflector, he is using a ten or twelve inch.
    by Ralph Unger 5/4/2011 2:10:49 AM

  • So now all they need is a couple of internet buttons to turn on the water cannons on 3 and 4 and we can just handle that from here. :-)
    by Nancy 5/4/2011 2:11:44 AM

  • R2 is just simmering along isn't it?
    by radioguy 5/4/2011 2:12:07 AM

  • I guess as the sun heats the land, and vapors rise, he is losing resolution. He sure is trying to get it though.
    by Ralph Unger 5/4/2011 2:12:55 AM

  • Nancy... Marie Rich wants to see if you can get her out of Mod on this page. Can you help Angie too?
