What are your opinions on the Fukushima nuclear problems?

[Terpe]

Just on another note, there has been a 'skype interview' on TFC (TV Patrol) with a number of Care Workers in a care home for the elderly in the danger zone of Fukushima area.
God Bless them all, (and their Japanese co-workers) they decided they will stay to maintain care for the elderly who have NOT been evacuated by the authorities.

Also many Doctors and nurses have decided to stay with their patients at some hospitals also within the evacuation area.

I have always had every admiration for the dignity and determination of the ordinary Japanese people. They understand the meaning of teamwork and focus.
Pity the Japanese Government and advisors change so much once they have the power and the MONEY

Whoops! sorry rant over.

That has been my overall impression of this terrible situation, there has been none of the mass hysteria we would expect to see anywhere else in the world. The ordinary Japanese people appear to be getting on with things the best that they can, despite the terrible losses they have suffered and despite the fear of what might happen if another earthquake, tsunami hits them or if the nuclear situation worsens.

I have to admit that whilst it's shocking to see earthquakes in some parts of the world, I don't usually feel a lot of sympathy for the people, it's just another earthquake and I remove myself from any emotion when I watch the pictures on TV.

However, this time I really do feel a great deal of sympathy for the Japanese people. The way they have conducted themselves during this crisis is a lesson to us all. I've never been to Japan and don't know any Japanese people, so I have no reason to think any differently about them than I would do if an earthquake hit Uzbekistan or Indonesia, but the way they have all acted must be the reason why I feel for them
