Those 181 workers from Japan Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant are real heroes

Note: at the beginning, it’s said it’s 50 volunteer workers that have stayed to fight with meltdown of nuclear plant. Later one, it’s said it’s 181 workers.

U: http://www.drudgereport.com/
M: oh
M: Chinese people are buying salt.
M: those 50 volunteers in that nuclear plant are really heroes.
M: Hollywood will make a huge movie for it one day.
U: yes….a big sacrifice
U: japan is really going through really tragic….an earthquake, tsaumi, and nuclear meltdown at the same time
M: yeah.
M: it’s better to happen in Japan, anyway, right?
U: why is that?
M: they can control it best.
U: well…seems the biggest concern is the nuclear situation for now
U: i think hollywood will wait for the outcome…
M: do you think that 32 miners in Chile are heroes?
M: They were unfortunate to be buried at the beginning and fortunately rescued later.
U: the people who rescued them are the heroes
M: If it happened in the mainland of China, they can’t be recognized to be heroes.
U: the miners were simply victims
M: They are CNN heroes.
M: do you know it?
U: of course…they do this for ratings numbers
M: oh, I thought that’s Americans’ values.
U: values and ratings are two different things
U: corporations have no values…except for dollar values
M: that last president candidate is Mccain, right? he was captured in the war. I heard that he was recognized to be a war hero. Is it right?
U: yes…he survived 5 years in a vietnam prison camp
M: wow
U: not really a hero…just unlucky to have his fighter jet get shot down and captured
M: so long. he must have suffered a lot.
M: it looks that we have similar values on it.
U: who…me and you?
M: General Americans and Chinese.
U: most people generally have good values i think…i hope so anyway
M: Just Chinese gov’t and American Corporations etc. twist the image of  the people.
U: of course…i couldn’t agree more with you
M: 😛

“maybe this is the start of 2012”

M: What about that Kaddafi now and Japan’s nuclear plant?
U: seems Kaddafi is taking advantage of the world’s focus on japan
M: yeah.
M: He has got some land back.
U: yes…starting to use more force
U: starting to gain the upper hand
M: 🙂
M: and Sadi Arabic’s army entered Bahrain.
U: yeah…whats up with that?
M: are the people rich in Sadi Arabic?
U: no
U: the royal family is rich
U: there is 35% unemployment in Saudi
M: It’s said that the Sadi Arabic donated more money than other countries when China had that big earthquake.
M: It seems quite generous.
U: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/04/Bahrain_pol_2003.jpg
M: Bahrain is a small island.
M: what will happen of Japan, anyway?
U: i don’t know…seems the nobody really understands the danger yet
M: oh
M: maybe in 2012 , every one will understand 😉
U: they may end pouring cement into the reactors like they did at Chernobyl
U: and disabling them forever
M: that’s not a bad idea.
M: at least, they have cement.
U: maybe this is the start of 2012
M: some symptoms
M: of 2012
U: or maybe its just a large earthquake and a warning not to depend on nuclear power as a fuel source

Japanese nuclear reactors meltdown in earthquake vs. sunken Russian nuclear-powered submarine “Kursk”

U: good evening
M: good evening.
M: how r u?
M: it seems that Japanese power plant is in danger now.
U: not bad
U: and you
M: not bad too. tks
U: i saw video of the explosion….did you see it
M: no. I saw a few of pictures.
M: what will happen? it’s said that U.S. millitary has provided help for it.
U: i don’t know what will happen
M: It’s said that someone has died for it.
M: Do you know that leak of Russian power plant?
U: of course
M: It’s said that $5,000 Russian soldiers went to shut down it without protection equipments.
M: Later on, all of them died 
U: i’m sure there will be better prepared precautions for this one
M: The victims was put in lead coffins in that Russian power plant disaster.
M: it’s better, but still, too much radiation. no human being is allowed.
M: I read a posting saying that 20 Japanese went in and when they went out, around 10 got that symptoms of being radiated.
U: not many details yet of any contamination…in the next few days we will see
M: But the next group of Japanese are preparing to go in again.
M: They are brave but the situation is really cruel.
U: i know
M: The places along the eastern sealine of China is affected by this nuclear radiation leak.
U: already
M: do you ask me?
U: you said so
M: maybe. people are forwarding a posting about this warning and how to protect selves.
M: in the Chinese website.
U: so the radiation hasn’t reached there yet
M: maybe 3 days or so.
U: http://www.drudgereport.com/
M: The radiation leak will travel away from Japan.
U: eventually…depends on how much actually leaks
M: 🙂
U: but it doesn’t look good now
M: have you seen that movie saying about a Russion submarine
M: maybe nuclear submarine
M: When I read that posting, i thought of that movie.
M: The radiation is terrible.
U: i’m not sure
U: tell me more details
M: A group of Russians in that submarine
M: in the way to a mission, the submarine has some problem. The nuclear needs to cool down.
U: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZ9Ghym2Wjw&feature=related
U: the Kursk?
M: The caption orders the soldiers to make groups and enter that cabinet to control that equipment manually
M: When the people get out from that cabinet, they vomit and look dying.
M: no sound, but it’s nuclear power plant
U: ok
U: was this a movie?
M: I was telling you about that movie.
M: the last line is about the video you sent to me.
M: That movie is based on a real story in Russia.
U: i’m confused
U: i don’t recall seeing this movie
M: It’s an American movie, I think
U: but there was an actual russian submarine “Kursk” that was nuclear powered and sunk
M: yeah. it should be that one.
M: at last that submarine sunk
M: but the soldiers were rescued by another Russian submarie. In fact, they already asked help to Americans.
M: A lot of shots of that movies is about how to cool down the nuclear reactor.
U: yes..they are thinking cooling down the japanese reactors with sea water
M: Now, it is happening in Japan. People have entered to that radiation area to operate the equipment manually (Note: they are rumors. so far no official information has shown that Japanese have entered that area and controlled the reactor manually.)
M: if they stay in that area long, they will lose their vision.
M: they will feel nausea
M: when they go out, they may die soon.
U: yeah…that is what happens when you get radiation poison
M: That sea will be contaminated.
M: even pacific
U: could be
U: we will see
M: hope the best
U: and the next time North Korea threatens a nuclear attack….do you think South korea and Japan will not react?
U: now the world can see what a mess this nuclear stuff makes
M: Maybe that area should be isolated with an anti-radiation balloon first.
U: and if the north korea starts with there nonsense
U: i think there will be a very strong reponse
M: North Korea’s current gov’t also has its opposition group. It’s not in public. But they must do their efforts to stop it.

What can the Chinese learn from Japanese earthquake rescue

U: hi
M: 🙂
M: how r u?
U: i’m good
U: and you
M: Japan has a big earthquake
M: I’m ok, tks
U: i have been reading about it
M: I was arguing online. Just stopped. feel tired of it.
U: what were you arguing about?
M: one topic is: do Chinese need to so praise Japanese
M: China also had an earthquake, just one day earlier
M: 4.2 or so.
M: that one in Japan is 8.8
M: Some Chinese say that Japanese have done a good job about it and always keep in order and clean.
U: yeah….the resue and cleanup will be well organized i think
U: did you see the giant whirlpool?
U: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-12709856
M: I saw a bit. I heard that it’s near their nuclear power plant
U: http://www.drudgereport.com/
M: The guy I was arguing with said that some Chinese just lost self-confidence, always said others were good, even made stories to praise Japanese, to say bad about selves.
U: chinese guy?
M: of course.
M: I think that it’s a good thing to find other’s advantages. When you see the distance from others, you will improve yourself. right?
M: If you keep blind to others’ advantages, and always keep blind to your own disadvantages, you lose the chance to improve yourself.
U: i think that is good level-headed thinking
M: 😛
U: The tsunami even affected the coast of california
M: Hawaii has tsunami, right?
M: it’s a disaster
U: nothing really serious in hawaii
U: nothing like what hit japan
M: Japanese really has made this disaster well organized.
M: The scene is quite quiet, clean, and orderly.
… …
M: what do you feel about that earthquake? do you admire Japanese for it?
M: So many postings in that Chinese micro-blog website praise Japanese about this earthquake now.
U: i do not understand that question at all
U: do i admire the japanese for having an earthquake?
M: Do you admire they get things so organized? so orderly?
U: they are taking quick action
M: oh,
U: i don’t really admire it
U: i expect it
M: you think Americans also can do it, right?
U: they are very modern and have the means to react quickly to disasters
U: it depends where in America
M: oh, do you think Taiwanese are capable to do so?
M: or South Kereans?
U: yes…they also have a quick responce
M: A guy posted a picture about eathquake in Yunnan, China. A lot of red banners, flags. That’s Chinese characteristic.
U: its a snapshot of their military prepardness
U: they all have very organized government organizations
M: They are really doing something for the people.
U: they are trained to react quickly to a disaster or military attack
M: not just slogans and propaganda
U: it shows how far behind china is compared to these other asian countries
