1. The probably have gotten, like I have,

tired of all the conflicting information and have just decided to get the fuck out of Dodge and figure this thing out from a distance.

4. can you blame them

just thge geologists saying theres a 70% chance of a 7+ aftershock would get me to leave

[Skip_In_Boulder]

9. Not at all. I probably would have been gone a long time ago

Assuming that one had the means to get gone.

7. containment vessel intact

water injection continuing

10. If containment fails on either one the whole world will hear about it instantly.

It will be very bad.

11. Its a stupid conclusion to draw only 20 minutes after the explosion

You can not make such assumptions without proper inspection. He was bullshitting through the news conference. Did not know the radiation levels but was making BS claims that there is little chance that massive amounts of radiation were released.

[Bonobo]

8. Stupid statement. I would ignore it. It is absurd on its face.

How would they judge such a thing.

I tell you it is absurd.

12. I am a cautious person, I would leave, too

My husband, he would be having a cup of tea, feet up, looking at the sky. No fear.
