Sometimes I hate being right...

News came out of Japan last night that their Nuclear Regulatory Agency has updated the situation at Fukushima Dai-ichi from  level 5 (holy shit) to level 7 (everyone get the fuck outta here).

This officially confirms what I have suspected from the very beginning, namely that the Japanese Govt and TEPCO have been lying through their teeth and had been hoping to be able to contain this situation and minimize the damage control necessary, rather than tell us the truth and immediately ask for help.

This coupled with the number of experts being wheeled out to quell any possible concerns about the amount of radiation being released as 'nothing to worry about', convinces me that the situation is alot more intense and dangerous than we are being told, and that it's not whether the defecation will make contact with the rotary oscillator, but rather how much, and how hard...

Couple this with massive daily aftershocks hitting the area that register high up on the Richter scale (trust me, anything larger than a 6.0 will seriously get your attention) and I have to wonder just how much more the Japanese people can handle.

My thoughts and best wishes to those impacted by this ongoing tragedy.
