I spoke to a few Japanese Mets today, and all of them laugh every time someone announces radiation is going to be stirred up. Please. Calm down foreign people. LOL
Are you serious? People are STILL going on about radiation? I still remember how calmly the news was reported on NHK after the earthquake and how hysterical people in the States were getting. My mother, not usually the worrying type, was calling me demanding I get a flight out of here NOW (to where? Through Tokyo where most Okinawa planes are routed taking me closer to the radiation? lol).
American news outlets have gotten SO irresponsible with their reporting. It's all about sensationalizing and hyping EVERYTHING. No wonder we have to be the most medicated country in the world, right now. You have to be if you watch the news and actually believe it. Everything is so overdramatic. lol
It's sad to say, this would probably never happen in the States:
