New Close Up Video Of Fukushima Destruction Released, As Black Smoke Prompts Evacuation Of Plant
Tokyo's utility company said on Wednesday that black smoke has been seen emerging from Unit 3 of the crippled nuclear plant in northeastern Japan, prompting a new evacuation of the complex. Officials with Tokyo Electric Power Co. said on Wednesday that workers from the entire Fukushima Dai-ichi plant have been temporarily evacuated. Operators of the power station have been desperately trying to cool the reactors and spent fuel pools at the plant after it was damaged by this month's tsunami, which knocked out power to the cooling systems. Unclear if TEPCO has any other good news straw men up its sleeve post the completion of Operation Power Chord. We still believe a concrete sarcophagus will be the next step.
The update from RIA Novosti
And a fresh close up video of Fukushima courtesy of RT (another Russian news site):

HOLY CRAPOLA!!! Forget black smoke! The NYT reports 23 nuclear reactors in the US are the same as Fukushima and they are doomed after an earthquake!

NOW it is OK to trust the media's reporting?
Black smoke, does that mean we have a new pope?
nope, still working on that.
nah, thats white smoke. but it does mean they better start praying.
"Habemus papam" is the white smoke... As a Brazilian comedian wrote some decades ago: "White smoke is the new Pope's election or marijuana, probably the second".
They had white smoke in Fukushima some days ago. Now they are in the black smoke stage. And I bet that's not just some car tires burning...

Well I think we can identify a pattern for the future in a New world ran by corporate oligarcy. They have already destroyed the Island of Japan and the Gulf of Mexico with denial. Whist the marketing departments are busy planning the release of new food dishes. Shrimp Creole with Corexeit Sauce Piquant and Extra Fatty Nine Fin Tuna Sushi with Iridesant Rice and Mutant Seaweed.
Hey! Quit telling people about Western Canada. The last thing we need here in the Pacific NW is roving hoards of refugees heading this way.
Happened to have NHK streaming when an expert was talking about this. He says the black smoke is burning grease. Draw your own conclusions.
biorobots on deck.
Who would have ever thought we'd be relying on Russian news to know what's really going on?
Since quake, I have been watching the Russian RT TV on (english) cable and also on youtube. Max Keiser has a spot on there too.... is he banned in the USA??!! haha Go MAX!
RT has had some decent coverage of these events.
"We still believe a concrete sarcophagus will be the next step"
It should have been the first step but the Japs know the wind patterns will give appropriate payback to the owners of the energy ray that caused this.

revengamundo. Best served cold and slightly irradiated.
Looks grey.
I am still in awe of the fact markets have held it together with all of this . Inflation should be well above 8% given the indication from CB's willingness to "do whatever it takes" to not let the bubble burst .
Centrally planned markets do not allow for true price discovery. The Fed has no intention to allow for true price discoverywhilst they are pumping.
Reminds me of the Egyptian stock market. Temporary shut down. Will be back online soon. Don't panic.
i don't think they got it under control.
No, it doesn't look like they are in control at all.
Mad respect for those firemen. >__<
I wonder how that camera man feels knowing he's going to die from accute radiation poisoning, a symptom of which includes bleeding of the anus.
shhh, the Japanese Government told him that the video camera emits an anti-radiation signal that can also be used as a flashlight -
He's Russian. They are immunte to it.
Beginning to look more and more like a coal-fired power plant.
i still cant beleive "operation extension chord" didnt come up with the goods
What? I was sure that would do the trick.
could it be the japanese still have The Moody Blues after succeeding in their national k'west of In Search Of The Lost Chord?
listen: get in there and get the place ready for burial! everybody's gotta die sometime. judge judy is planning her trip to help. all she cares about at this point is pulling a train of nukuler rodz. she has rubbed her genie to an orange-red glow, and wants her wishes granted, NOW, dammit, janet!
i'm gonna stay in cali and smoke some "heavy" THC.
i'm sure everyone will be real surprised at that one!
Just more hot air - likely another story to continue the evil process of displacing more hot cesium and other radioactive molecule vapour into land, air and sea.
But is the Jet stream being used intentionally as a weapon of mass destruction mule?
http://contramanfund.wordpress.com/
Black smoke? That could be the only good news in nearly two weeks....Thermoscans with calibrated readings only please as documented evidence.
wait what? mules? now I'm confused
And on another note, what's new from the ME?!?!
And what ever happened to the oil/silt in the gulf? How long does it take to figure out if something is there and what it is?
Looks like it is on and being massively covered up. Again!

Are there any pooches left for TEPCO to screw?
The SFR are still barking.
According to bloomberg this morning, Temco says they cant give radiation readings because of lack of power...
$600 Billion for the markets, and TEPCO can't scrounge up a battery operated teletector. JHFC.
I just now watched the second video. Are those firefighters on site? Do you see how there have been no resources mobilized for this event? Does anyone wonder why the situation there continues to deteriorate? No one is willing to step forward and take command and hence be responsible. So, nothing gets done. No one advocates. There's no one standing in the PMs office screaming his fucking head off 24/7. Just a bunch of leaderless ants running around.
Un Fucking Believable.
Mr Richmond. Your stance on the issue appears to have evolved over the past few days.
Not that I blame you, sir. Calm and clarity of thought are valuable disciplines that require courage in the face of monumental crisis. Personally, I've been at the 'Holy Fuckin Shit' end of the scale since this thing started, so far be it from me to wag a finger.
I'm curious to know, though, if you still maintain that nuclear power generation remains an indespensible component of our energy future.
Yes, I do. This event should have been terminated days ago.
My position has evolved in light of events, which seem to keep repeating from one unit to the next, as if they can't anticipate what comes next, or they have no resources with which to respond. Both are unacceptable. No one's in charge. Isn't that obvious by now?
Knowing what I know of American nuclear ops culture, and granted I'm speculating like crazy about Japan, but I stand by this statement I made earlier: "In the past five days, as Tyler has pointed out, BoJ has crapped $600 Billion at the Nikkei for free. Give me $600 Billion, 5 days and a goddamned telephone and watch me crap diesel generators, diesel-driven fire pumps, switchgear, cables, and an army of technicians."
Where is the response? It's amazing, and self-fulfilling. The American nuclear ops culture is, from my perspective, very very different. Wilting Lillies need not apply.
Every fall the trees are filled with underwear, every spring the Fukushima plant explodes...

I can sum it up for everyone in three words: THEY ARE SCREWED!
Tyler, er Tylers, is it safe to say that the spooky dudes you posted that were going to collapse BAC were a tad bit overexagerated?
my question is this: "if the pumps and power were destroyed by the tsunami how did the authorities get the sea water in?" just a thought.
Telekinesis? </dumb joke>
good question!

Homer Simpson theory of nuclear husbandry.
yet i'm "being bombarded with the Plan." How is this possible? And "is that God in the room with all the deciders"? Hank Paulson prayed before he "walked into the room." Let me guess--"that just made him weak and ineffectual."
A long line of people down to the ocean and 10 five gallon buckets. They could only find 10 buckets.
The first part of that video is shocking. If the plan is to spray some water from one hose on top of the pile of rubble in the hope that the water trickles down and finds it's way to the core is troubling.
No shit. That's what us NWO flock chasers have been saying.
Everything they have released has been nightmarishly ridiculous....an extension cord? really?One firehouse disingenuously spraying water from above? really? These are the "plans" and they say it's getting better?
Fuck me sideways. We are screwed.
Bob.... Have you noticed that we seem to be among the few who've have been suggesting that almost since this first happened, whilst most everybody else keeps on with those constructive suggestions like; "Use two hoses, Suzie Cupcake."
Maybe we can get our next Capital One MasterCards with a picture of Fuckyoushittinme on it. Or Charlie Sheen.
'....The first part of that video is shocking. If the plan is to spray some water from one hose on top of the pile of rubble in the hope that the water trickles down and finds it's way to the core is troubling.'
It sure is. If it gets inside the 'Damp Course Membrane, it could also start to rot the foundations.
That's No.4 and the hose is right on top of the spent fuel pool.
So tired of the tin-foil hat crowd here. Who cares about black smoke? Someone probably overcooked a roast.
This was a joke.
i am somewhat reassured to see the guys moving around the site. And although the web cam was cut when the smoke came out there are shots of a very smokey fukushima on other news outlets.
But meanwhile at 40km from fukushima caesium is at 1600 times normal *officially* .
MSM: "But still WELL within safe limits!! Nothing to see here, please move along and take any body parts with you that may have just plopped off."
that Novosti commentator is so delightful.. makes me feel like strolling around the reactors just before a bit of tea

Around 1 min into the first video, the narrator says that they dumped salt water into the waste pool. Seawater is about 3% salt...so if they keep doing this, there will be salt crystals covering the 'spent' fuel rods. I hope they know what they are doing.
BTW, the black smoke cloud looks like a big black swan to me. Needs Banzai7 tweaks.
+1 damn good salty point ...
At what point temperature-wise will the Sodium atoms dis-bond from the Chlorine atoms (assuming NaCl in seawater) ?
Sodium, BTW, is nice stuff too, as is Chlorine.
What we need here is for the insight of Paul Krugman to help us better understand the promise of a large governmental solutoin to the large governmental regulatory failure occurring under the large bureaucratic Nancy capitalist socio-politico-economic system in Japan that was last sighted utilizing to take over the world culminating in the purchase of Pebble Beach and the upper half condominium arrangement of Citicorp Center and why emulating such would be good for America east of the Hudson River.

I love this site.
I've finally come to the conclusion that feeling sorry for people who continue to trust their government is a huge fucking waste of time and energy that I can better use reading the hilarious comments on here, or working overtime so I can buy more silver.
If you're too lazy or busy to care about the true nature of government, then fuck off. I'm sick of people simply assuming government is here to save the day, and when it doesn't work out, blame someone/something else. Blame the weather. Blame the speculators. It's the government's fault, period. So anyone who continues to vote, or support the government in any way beyond what's truly necessary (driving on gov't roads is basically mandatory if you want to interact in society, same with limited use of FRNs) can suck my dick and drown. You're the real reason I have to put up with this shit. Without your support there wouldn't be a fucking dickhead Obama or Pelosi or Rumsfeld to worry about, except when they ask me if I want fries with my burger and I tell them hell yeah.
ROFLMAO
I'm going to put that on a tile and hang that on my chimney.
Hey who else can lie to us as well as the government? They're really good at it - and it's all for our own good so shut up, stop causing trouble, and go back to sleep... Be sure to buy something first however.

You can't build a concrete sarcophagus around something that's generating massive amounts of heat. This mess needs to be cleaned up the good old fashioned way - piece by piece. The whole complex needs to be dismantled and buried somewhere. I suggest that a good burial place would be under the TEPCO headquarters.
I'm beginning to think it might be best to push it into the ocean.
Won't work in this case. Many of the radionuclides are water soluble. Also, the water is very shallow for many miles out to sea. You have a good idea, though. Build all nuclear reactors next to deep ocean trenches. If something goes wrong you sink them. They'll be buried in sediments and subducted before long.
Real men build nuclear power plants, cleaning up radioactive waste is women's work...

“Every government is run by liars,” independent journalist I.F. Stone observed, “and nothing they say should be believed.”

2 puff = Power 'er up.
These video are nonsense. Even Osama Bin Laden had better quality video cameras. Why are they too stupid to buy a $4000 quadracopter and send a camera up and around to get precise HD pictures of every detail of these plants. You can order them here: http://www.rchelicopterfun.com/quadrocopter.html.
Until the people running the operations at Fukushima present us with some HD images inside the plants I won't believe they are anything but liars and morons.

The people out in Harrisburg
Are getting out of town
And when the stuff gets in
You cannot get it out

The Government said it might

I wonder who was right
Who can leave it behind,
The curtains are drawn
There's something I must say to you
You cannot get it out

I think the radiation must have affected their copy of Adobe Photoshop. The time-stamp in the bottom left hand corner of the shot looks extremely suspicious. Time stopped at 23:57 for several minutes. They must have been standing next to a rip in the time continuum by mistake.
amazing those workers in the 2nd video and the cameraman weren't killed instantly.
After all, I've heard from many people on ZH that the reactors exploded in a nuclear explosion and there are pieces of the cores all over the parking lot.
