"Based on computer modeling of ocean currents, debris from the tsunami produced by the Tohoku earthquake is projected to spread eastward from Japan in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre. In three years, the debris plume likely will reach the U.S. West Coast, dumping debris on California beaches and the beaches of British Columbia, Alaska, and Baja California. Although much of the radioactive release from Fukushima Daiichi is believed to have occurred after the tsunami, there is the possibility that some of the tsunami debris might also be contaminated with radiation" Really, and the US government has never mislead the public ever? www.fas.org

How the heck would the radiation from the disaster ever be suspected of being in the original Tsunami that hit the US west coast...?

Is anyone looking at live cam? I think #4 right wall was propped up but the roof appears to be caved in much more toward that wall. It definitely seems more severe than yesterday.

Sound science indeed.
by Lethbridgean 5/14/2011 5:51:19 PM
Dinna I already post that?
by Ralph Unger 5/14/2011 5:51:34 PM
@LM - agreed
by UKVal 5/14/2011 5:51:59 PM
@UKVal @LM : screenshopt pls !
by Edano 5/14/2011 5:52:31 PM
@Edano -sorry - my IT skills aren't up to screenshots
by UKVal 5/14/2011 5:53:50 PM
@edano working on it.
by LM 5/14/2011 5:54:24 PM
I think it might be a lighting thing, #4 is still standing.
by Ralph Unger 5/14/2011 5:54:51 PM
Well #3 is still standing....
by Ralph Unger 5/14/2011 5:57:28 PM
@Ralph Unger : some parts ...

The sfp is glowing nicely.
by Ralph Unger 5/14/2011 5:58:23 PM
@Ralph It's definitely still standing. The roof just looks like it's caving in more. @edano I can't do a print screen becauseyou at key on my computer is sticking. You can see it on the live cam now if you have the link. www.youtube.com
Thank you Debra! I use my iPad for my searches and posts and have to view the cam on my desktop. Unfortunately I spilled wine on my keyboard a few months back and my print screen key still doesn't work..
by LM 5/14/2011 6:05:03 PM
@elainekirk @Ralph Unger thank you all, but it is youtube that does not let me see it. no chance. "not available".
by Edano 5/14/2011 6:06:09 PM
@LM Your welcome, it's my small contribution :) My keypad was messed up by a tsunami of orange juice several days ago, oh yes, lots of sticky keys, that are slowly getting worked out, lol
by Debra Beckham 5/14/2011 6:07:40 PM
@LM : there are lots of apps that can shoot the screens.
@Debra LOL My husband bought a replacement keypad for me but still hasn't replaced it. I guess I have to pester him now.
by LM 5/14/2011 6:09:31 PM
That is just lean from the #3 blast, I am not at all worried about it.
by Ralph Unger 5/14/2011 6:10:35 PM
@edano I'm technologically challenged...I'll eventually figure it out. This is all new to me!
by LM 5/14/2011 6:10:39 PM
Steel can bend quit a bit and be OK.
by Ralph Unger 5/14/2011 6:11:10 PM
@Ralph Unger : well, in your picture, you should be worried about the left tower as well ;)
by Edano 5/14/2011 6:11:59 PM
@Ralph More debris falling in the SFP probably isn't though. We have to hope for the best.
by LM 5/14/2011 6:12:29 PM
comparing the pics - it could be that the lighting of the roof accentuates its slope
by UKVal 5/14/2011 6:12:37 PM
Are they still using that tower? I doubt it. @LM debris in the SFP's are a very bad thing.
by Ralph Unger 5/14/2011 6:13:11 PM
@Edano, now that you have mentioned it, I think my pic is just a wide angle pic which was cropped which would make the lean more pronounced.

@LM I am using this link www.youtube.com on google chrome by itself. Works like a charm every time, slows up if you don't clear your cache through the day.
