          I was 16 at the time. My parents home (out of view) just survived on the debris line. No utilities for some time. This area, the Hilo Iron Works in the background, and further beyond was turned into a park.

          By the time the current tsunami reached Hawaii, it was greatly reduced.

            What a dilemma. If you live in Tokyo, and can leave Japan, many would consider it. The fact is, that at this time, there is not enough radiation in Tokyo to warrant leaving.

            What people want to know is, how near is safe, if the worst happens.

              If the worst arrives best is go to under equateur line because winds are not very mixed between hemispheres!
              Does this possible for an half of the Earth, that is a big question!

                  The worst would be a meltdown in reactor 4; still not as bad as the US, and French atmospheric bomb test in the Pacific.

                  Dave, that is graphic!!!!! Thanks for the link.

                      That third shot in Dave's link ...Fujitsuka in Sendai. Is the scene of that horrifying aerial shot of the tsunami racing across fields gobbling up poly-tunnels. They can be seen on the extreme left of the photo.
                      If you check it out on Google Earth (it's just north of the airport) you can see the bridge approach ramp on which two truck drivers could be seen standing on top of their cabs. They had no choice...it's downhill in all directions. It was quite obvious from the outset that this was a disaster of biblical proportions.

                        Be precise
                        Ingestion of 1/100 gram particles of Plutonium is mortal
                        Atomic's earth = 400 kilograms
                        so when it's at free air that is some dangerous!

                          It's a real shame that Dave's link doesn't really give an indication of the sheer amount of people who have lost their lives due to the tsunami.

                          I've also just heard on the radio that Japanese earthquake and tsunami survivors are becoming more and more sickened by how much emphasis those in the west are paying to the possibility of a yet-to-happen 'nuclear crisis', rather than paying attention to the real victims, those who have lost their children, brothers, sisters, mothers and fathers complete families and neighbours as well as businesses, money, homes. Everything they had, once taken for granted, gone.

                            Lets give the survivors a break, they "fear" for their lives.

                            The contamination is getting worst. Who can say where this will go. How come there are NO "National/International charity rock concerts" to raise money in America? A local Hawaii TV station had a fund raiser, but where are those like "Elton", and others?
