RE:RE:New fukashima quakeReally guys??? I do not post much but when the drama squad starts to post multiple end of the world scenarios I need to pipe up.
Earthquakes happen daily around Japan and often multiple times. Let us know when they get hit by multiple quakes on one day between 7 and 9.0 directly in the vicinity of one of their nuclear plants, similar to what happened on March 11 2011 and the weeks after. I didn't realize how many earthquakes occurred over such a large distance for such a long time. I attended a nuclear seminar in 2013 with one of the top TEPCO engineers as a speaker explaining the complication that occurred after the initial quake and wave. Each quake and wave took out the levels of defences and attempts of getting the plant under control. If I recall right he showed the following YouTube video which really hits home of just how devistating and unique March 11th was.

BTW the plant's infrastructure survived the quake it was the support systems, electrical feeds and its backups that failed on multiple levels allowing the used fuel in the cooling bays to boil off and expose the rods. The access roads for emergency vehicles were also wiped out hampering the emergency response and repair efforts. The dramatic explosions that blew off the roof was hydrogen off gas coming off the exposed rods in the pools igniting.
