I don't know if it's just me but I'm seeing a brighter area of smoke near the base of 4.by LM 5/11/2011 6:18:59 PM
Smoke is mainly coming from 4...and then blowing across screen... At least looks like thatby Optim 5/11/2011 6:19:38 PM
@LM could be worklights. They seem to illuminate 4 from the right of it and the same with 3 so there is also a dark spot between 4 and 3by Nancy 5/11/2011 6:19:41 PM
@Ralph Unger Yes, that's one way of enhancing the lighting in the picture.by Pedro Jesus 5/11/2011 6:19:41 PM- Aaaarrruuugghhh That quote is from Peanuts.by Ralph Unger 5/11/2011 6:19:47 PM
- You can see build-ups near 3 and 4 with intense brightening at the base of 4.by LM 5/11/2011 6:20:26 PM
- @Ralph, hot spot above #3 above reactor area.by wtm 5/11/2011 6:20:35 PM
- the steam seems to clear at the lower level sometimes but still thick up higher. It isn't fog.by Nancy 5/11/2011 6:20:59 PM
- Where in that picture would the wind be blowing from, according to the data available?by Pedro Jesus 5/11/2011 6:21:27 PM
- @wtm how can you tell there is a hot spot?by Nancy 5/11/2011 6:21:28 PM
- #3 is probably critical, has been for several weeks.by Ralph Unger 5/11/2011 6:21:42 PM
- @Nancy Definitely could be lights but there is a lot of smoke/steam regardless.by LM 5/11/2011 6:21:54 PM
- That is not news.by Ralph Unger 5/11/2011 6:22:16 PM
Yeah, major steam or smoke : www.youtube.comby Ian 5/11/2011 6:22:22 PM

by Mina via Oi52.tinypic 5/11/2011 6:22:51 PM- @Nancy, big concentrated spot of steam above #3 reactor area.by wtm 5/11/2011 6:23:07 PM
- Lower melting point for MOX led to the fuel criticality, Is that news?by Ralph Unger 5/11/2011 6:23:15 PM
- Whew, 4 is still standingby Nancy 5/11/2011 6:23:17 PM
- @Nancy, that is just left of the center tower.by wtm 5/11/2011 6:23:36 PM
- @Ralph Unger It was to me yesterday. :-)by Nancy 5/11/2011 6:23:36 PM
- Does anyone read my links?by Ralph Unger 5/11/2011 6:24:11 PM
- My mother was Japanese, we never say anything directly.by Ralph Unger 5/11/2011 6:25:30 PM
- Settling down now, but MAJOR smoke/steam out of middle of #3by wtm 5/11/2011 6:25:44 PM
- Look at #3, smoke.steam out of bottom of #3, not the top as beforeby wtm 5/11/2011 6:26:37 PM
- We know there is no "venting" on 4. People are pretty sure they don't have any venting control on 3. This is the second time this has happened about this time of day. It started about now on Sat.by Nancy 5/11/2011 6:26:39 PM
- nancy, I saw the buildup-heard on another forum that there was an exposion on 3 w/mini mushroom-when i checked it out hard to see w/low res cam-very thick black smk low to grnd on 3-then it somehow seemed to affect 4 which had white smoke, then eventually 2 and then 3 just got more and more and all of them then now---this-started frm 3 apparentlyby anon 5/11/2011 6:26:51 PM
- Look at the live feed-NOWby anon 5/11/2011 6:26:54 PM
- all 3 emitting smoke simultaneously...Coincidence or by design?by Optim 5/11/2011 6:27:23 PM
- @Optim how could they make it do that?by Nancy 5/11/2011 6:27:55 PM
- It's nighttime! You are seeing a bit of IR.by Ralph Unger 5/11/2011 6:27:58 PM
UPDATE 18:21 UTC : The hospital Rafael Méndez has been evacuated as a result of this earthquake. This is not good with a number expected to be injured. Serviceability is an important measure for hospitals in earthquakes.
UPDATE 18:21 UTC : Given the relative abnormality of such large earthquakes in this area and the fact that 2 descended upon Lorca in short time, there is a feeling of chaos in Lorca, with much damage reported. 7 continues to be the total killed. These deaths all occurred from the 2nd earthquake (the larger of the two, at M5.2).by Edano 5/11/2011 6:28:04 PM
by Debra Beckham 5/11/2011 6:29:06 PM- No. the earlier cams had steam out of the top of #3, now is different, smoke/steam out of the BOTTOM of #3, encompassing the entire lower levels.by wtm 5/11/2011 6:29:13 PM
- @anon did anyone happen to get a screen capture of that blast they said they saw?by Nancy 5/11/2011 6:29:53 PM
- sorry for the quality, but figure it is better than nothing, in big screen i watched in horror :(by Debra Beckham 5/11/2011 6:30:01 PM
- Still waiting on the Spain quake to be reassigned to more then 1 km,.by Ralph Unger 5/11/2011 6:30:22 PM
- @Ralph If it were IR we'd be seeing this every night, all night. Spot lights enhance our ability to see steam/smoke.by LM 5/11/2011 6:31:08 PM
- Normal video cam has some IR as the filter is not that good.by Ralph Unger 5/11/2011 6:32:00 PM
- All three at once... it might be an effect of a cool night by the ocean and warm nuclear waste, ie, a thermal/steam effect.by Ian 5/11/2011 6:32:11 PM
- I don't think they were watering. No crane on 4, usually can at least see the outline of it on a big screenby Nancy 5/11/2011 6:32:23 PM
Has anyone figured out what camera the TBS feed actually is?by Markfm 5/11/2011 6:32:36 PM- @Ian currently 57 degrees F, 11c.by Nancy 5/11/2011 6:32:41 PM
- @Nancy: I don;t know how they can do it..All 3 emitting smoke at same time and then all of them reducing seems too synchronized..by Optim 5/11/2011 6:32:46 PM
- A ccd has Ir by default, we use filters to keep it to visable light.by Ralph Unger 5/11/2011 6:34:24 PM
- If any kind of explosion happened it might affect the others or look like it has. It would then appear simultaneous as the culprit settled down.by LM 5/11/2011 6:34:43 PM
