Be Advised: Profanity in this Video from frustrated French resident living in Tokyo Japan. This video shows the people of Japan are NOT BEING INFORMED properly to decide on their own actions of survival.

1. and unfortunately we have the same mentality here
they hope we won't freak out is what they say... I think they are afraid of what people will do when we all know the truth. Why? Fucking greed!

2. What? So how does he know what the right info is.

He's in Tokyo, not working at the reacter sites. I never blindly trust any gov't, but what gives his point of view more credence? What first-hand "knowledge" does he have that the rest of Japan is not getting about the reactor sites?

6. that's just it...
He is no more a nuclear expert than you or me. But he wants a forthright assessment. For my part, it was last Saturday that I first saw that long-distance explosion footage. My thought, then, was "containment breached". Slowly, now, the "official" message has come to this. Again, I know nothing. Except, I know a little.

9. Which one was that?
because you couldn't see an explosion when the containment building was breached.

7. Tokyo does not have 37 million people. What's with you people
This same panic stricken guy was posted earlier and I pointed out all his factual errors about the information given Tokyo residents. So whose bright idea was to put this doofus up again?

8. Of course we cannot trust the news:
Millions of people in Tokyo continued to work from home, some fearing a blast of radioactive material from the complex, 240 km (150 miles) to the north, although the International Atomic Energy Agency said radiation levels in the capital were not harmful. (Reuters)
