Casper Posted August 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 http://www.snopes.com/photos/technology/fukushima.asp Just that image is false, not the fact that radiation is leaking and the nuclear emergency level was just raised from 1 to 3.

Scruit Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Tells me, though, to take any dire reports with a grain of salt. Some are true, some are not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owndjoo Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Always check the source. There is still a lot of covering up being done by TEPCO. The biggest threat is to Japan and the city of Tokyo itself. It would take a massive catastrophe causing a continuous nuclear reaction within the #4 pool for the US to see any "real" effects on our shores. Obviously sea life is goin to be affected regardless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
