    Would it go all the way through and fall out of the other side or would it stop in the middle? Any physicists able to advise please?

    The UK is near as dam it the other side of the world to Japan. Would it come out exploding anywhere near us?

    I know its not good to joke about something so serious.

    It just highlights how unstable and dangerous nuclear power is, you cant just turn it off.

    Wow - this is a very real danger - I suggest you liquidate all your assets and move to the Falklands to be on the safe side, no time to lose - I am willing to give you cash 10% of your house value today, take it now, tomorrow may be to late.

    I don't think it is a cover up. They have talked about this on Sky News since the outset - initially it involved people missing from the earliest explosion and they mentioned the other day that someone clocked in for work and then died. I don't think it is a coincidence either. What they are doing is both high danger and high skill. Unfortunately it is a job that comes with a risk of death.

    New footage from inside the plant

    Brave men indeed.

    Nicky you seem to have followed this closely from the start. Do you remember the Fukishema 50 talked about as volunteers? How many of these original 50 are left alive do you think? Another one died a few days ago, and we havent had confirmation of the 2 or 3 who stepped in radioactive water 10,000 times safe levels, are these men still alive if so did they get to save their legs?

    Are those men in that video the original 50 or new workers I wonder how many have died or nearly dead from radiation and if its been covered up.

    Why are the offices so messed up at the plant? Is it still from the quake or from the explosions that kept happening since?

    The offices were damaged by the explosions.

    I wouldnt worry about them. They are just full of chairs for people to sit on. No one would have been there, it would have been empty at the time because the only people allowed in were people outside with spanners & hammers.

    Why do you keep repeating this nonsense as if it is a fact? Do you know anything about radioactive material? It is not like acid, for chrissakes.

    Seriously, get some critical thinking, would you, instead of taking that nutter Alex Jones' word as gospel.

    stop now bendix and pick on someone your own size.
