Reply #1: Sorry Rastkah...the tsunami was 10 meters(32 feet)...

[hayu_lol]

and your proclamations of 'your' plant being safe according to Russian calculations won't wash.

As for 'your' plant being in the hands of people who answer every problem with the saying 'As Allah Wills' leads one to shudder at the thought.

As to Fukushima, consider what the 10 meter wall of water did to the buildings in the town and surrounding area...at least the reactor buildings are still standing. One sees pics of large ships and large boats sitting on the top of 2 story building--tells a tale that we can all understand. Would hate to think of a nuke plant surrounded by a raging crowd following their leaders--the black hatted Mullahs screaming for total destruction of the western technology...as called for by the Koran.

Unless someone died this morning, the score, so to speak, is:

Tsunami: 25,000 deaths and almost total destruction on the northeast coast

Reactor plant: 0 deaths and destruction of only the plant...most of which is still standing.

Reinforced concrete elementary school completely destroyed with the loss of 139 kids and their teachers.

The Japanese are a manufacturing giant. They have virtually no oil of their own. They own the world's longest 'train' of supertankers plying constantly between the middle east and Japan. Without nuke power, their economy would crash. They literally have no choice.
