- does it lok like blacksmoke right side low of tower on 3by fitter 5/7/2011 4:54:28 PM
First time I made a video, 10 shots from earlier
by Debra Beckham 5/7/2011 4:54:36 PM- anyone know what is going on I have gremblimsby fitter 5/7/2011 4:55:02 PM
- @ fitter -still a lot of steam from 3, less so from 4. possible smoke earlier...by UKVal 5/7/2011 4:56:36 PM
- @debra brilliantby elainekirk 5/7/2011 4:56:57 PM
- Inside R3 is the big hulking dark mass of collapsed stuff. That makes it hard to tell if something moving in there is steam or smoke. That huge mass about 45 minutes ago sure looked like think black smoke though.by radioguy 5/7/2011 4:57:48 PM
- It obscured the lights to the left of the screen completely. I thought they'd turned them off till I saw it clearing.by radioguy 5/7/2011 4:58:46 PM
- @ radioguy -that's what I saw. It was definitely blackby UKVal 5/7/2011 4:59:21 PM
- look at the earlier shots on debra's video, you can see the lower level much clearer in the early imagesby Nancy 5/7/2011 5:00:04 PM
- Now, black at night simply means absence of light, so enough thick steam would look obscuringly black if there were no lights on the face of the cloud.by radioguy 5/7/2011 5:01:17 PM
- @all your welcomeby Debra Beckham 5/7/2011 5:02:17 PM
- true radioguy...by UKVal 5/7/2011 5:02:23 PM
- @radioguy I don't think we will know for sure until sunrise if things are still going on then. I am still not sure if the smoke/steam is coming low out the back of 4 or from the right side of 3.by Nancy 5/7/2011 5:02:54 PM
- @Nancy - why would it run low till it hit 3 then go straight up?by UKVal 5/7/2011 5:03:48 PM
- @Nancy We know now already that the 1:17am incident there was ugly, though.by radioguy 5/7/2011 5:03:55 PM
- @UKVal Dual streams? One light steam, the other thick heavy smoke?by radioguy 5/7/2011 5:04:56 PM
- @radioguy -that's what I think I've seen at timesby UKVal 5/7/2011 5:05:44 PM
- The breeze just died on cam.by radioguy 5/7/2011 5:05:51 PM
- steam dying too..by UKVal 5/7/2011 5:08:58 PM
- how long till daylightby fitter 5/7/2011 5:09:50 PM
You can see smoke from 2 now that the breeze died down.by LM 5/7/2011 5:09:52 PM
@fitter 0211 in Japan atm, 2 hours till sunrise aproxby Jocke_Jensen 5/7/2011 5:10:36 PM- does it look like something black just came straight up from 3by fitter 5/7/2011 5:11:21 PM
- the good news is that 4 hasn't collapsed..yetby UKVal 5/7/2011 5:11:29 PM
- with the wind down that smoke seems to be from 3 not blowing low from 4by Nancy 5/7/2011 5:11:51 PM
- looks like they may be loosing three, right nancy smoke lookss like 3 at base of tower on right sideby fitter 5/7/2011 5:12:42 PM
- @Nancy Yes, R4 still has a good steam going, but the bulk is R3by radioguy 5/7/2011 5:12:53 PM
- can still see that bit sticking out of 3 on the south sideby UKVal 5/7/2011 5:13:12 PM
- This is because 3 is hot and they inject 9m^3/hby xxx 5/7/2011 5:13:56 PM

I captured this screenshot during that heavy bout of fuming earlier. It shows the black stuff we saw. At the time I also thought the lights had gone out, first at 4 and then at 2, but that they were quickly switched back on again. I still don't know if the smoke just seemed particularly black cos the lights were out, or whether it was extraordinarily thick smoke obscuring the buildings.by es via I51.tinypic 5/7/2011 5:14:24 PM- do you see black smoke left side of three just went awayby fitter 5/7/2011 5:14:34 PM
- Holy cow...rumbling and large plume to right of tower.by LM 5/7/2011 5:14:59 PM
