Japan Liquefaction Video. Sea Water Seeping through the Land:
Radiation from Fukushima has been found in as far as Boston MA

(48,217 posts)Liquefaction is a common phenomenon during earthquakes and has nothing to do with radiation.
The first video is from Urayasu, a city outside Tokyo on Tokyo Bay, i.e. the ocean and on the day of the actual big earthquake.
The third one looks more like a broken water main.
The fourth one is from the same location as the first, and it shows the aftermath. As the video captioning says, much of Urayasu is built on landfill.

(154,021 posts)there are a few of the great Alaska quake too.
And liquefaction has zero to do with radiation... by the way.

(4,695 posts)from the melt down of one reactor core. We were told that the one meltdown and other core melts (not melt downs) were hours later after the initial big earthquake. Salt water was use to cool the reactors after they lost their, "heavy water". This all drained into the ocean. Days later the particles were in the ocean water. We did not receive any information about radioactive particle being in the surface liquefied water of the big quake. What was in the water used to grow these food items pictured above? How deep are water wells around this area? Did atmospheric radioactive particle cause mutation or polyploidy during blooming and fertilization of the food items shown above? Did heavier saltwater with its components, backwash into the water table? Can someone post a scientific study with findings?

(154,021 posts)Your more correct answer is if the water went down into newly formed cracks after the quake...

Though I'm sure the broader point is right: there will be mutations. Many will not be as spectacular as extra organs and such, but simply lethal.

(24,331 posts)Check the metadata on those photos: some of them were taken more than a year ago. This is nothing more than fearmongering.

(5,061 posts)At least, they are on the Fukushima website. That being said, they are not the first clover mutations, nor even the most spectacular found in Japan.

(25,704 posts)What most people think of as a tomato is a fairly new phenomenon. I see tomatos like some of these all the time.
see, I did plural tomato both ways, just to please you, Mr. Quail.
