   sigh… its annoying if they started when they were told to, reactor unit #1 would not have blown up, so more radiation got released then if they just followed orders from their higher ups.

   Yoshida was so good in case of an emergency like that

   I salute those who worked so diligently in face of disaster ready to sacrifice themselves for greater good. I will not in a million years sacrifice myself to wipe someone ass just because they practice negligence in their job. They decide to be greedy, practice negligence, and so they should be the one out there dying in the field.

   The Japanese are the most shameless and irresponsible group of people in the world. They have consistently delayed addressing the problems at the Fukushima nuclear power plant and have shown complete irresponsibility after the disaster. They only know how to conceal and deceive. The so-called "Fukushima 50" heroes were completely fabricated, a group of undocumented workers. Comparing the Fukushima nuclear disaster to the Chernobyl disaster is a complete insult to the Soviet Union; the Japanese don't even deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as the Soviets. They only know how to spread their responsibility and the consequences of their disaster to the rest of the world. Remember this: your words cannot change any facts. The Fukushima nuclear disaster affects all countries in the Pacific Rim, and these Japanese bastards have harmed people, including yourself.

   Yoshida will be engraved in my mind. For the acts and his courage to take actions even in that situation, where anyone would fold. I may not be japanese citizen but his act really courage me.

   moral of the story don't put nuclear plants in dangerous locations, they are safe otherwise

   Great video, very misleading how you presents the dangers of the nuclear reactor failure though. No one died during the incident, and at most one death has been linked to the accident. Nuclear is safe, it's scary, but safe. Making videos like these without noting this increases the fear of nuclear power, something that does not help anyone. E.g. in Norway, the average person is exposed to as much radiation every day as the people living in the forest right next to the power plant in Fukushima during the accident. Today, the radiation exposure is 1/4 of that in Norway. Should we evacuate Norway? Do we see increase in cancer risks in Norway?

    Yosida n Dyatlov are such different leaders. Despite this Chernobyl with just 1 reactor explosion was sososo diff from fukishima. Respect to YOSHIDA n the entire team. Hats off to them

    The anti nuclear movement might have done more damage than this disaster.

    Capitalism is like a rabid dog — it cant help itself from doing damage to people's wellbeing by its very nature. Tepco being a partly private company demonstrates the problem here that led to this disaster; cost cutting, insufficient safety, prioritising cost and profits, etc. Projects like Nuclear plants should never be run by anything other than responsible public sector entities.

    Nucleaur power is a far more reliable source of power. There are always going to be pros and cons. But, our current system is worse. The pros of nucleur plants far outwayd any other

    I would like to comment on this video’s notion that TEPCO “didn’t know what they were doing” with the water contaminated with radioactive material. This statement is false. TEPCO has a strict water treatment plan to filter out any radioactive contamination. Contaminated water was initially stored in thick concrete containers which effectively shielded radiation. Then capacity of the land available for storage long the water became too high, and TEPCO started to treat the water according to strict standards to ensure all of the radioactive material was removed from the water. The water released into the ocean has little more than background level of radiation, which is the radiation levels that you and me experience everyday just by living and breathing

    This catastrophe still makes me cry when I look it up. I was in highschool when it happened and it has never left my mind.

    This nuclear disaster was really not that bad, and was never going to be. The Ocean is right there. It's so immense that it would and does dilute radioactive material. The real disaster was always the earthquake, people are just very obsessed with the buzzword "radiation," and I'm sick of it. Chernobyl was found to have killed around 70 people. Fukushima didn't lead to any noticeable increase in cancerous growths, there was actually a decrease in cancerous growths in the area compared to the average Japanese person. A very minor one, but that is not an increase.

    People really need to stop overreacting.

    Did he say it was a wave of over 50 or 15 meters? (And how many Freedom units is that for us Americans)

    0:30 I understand that nuclear power plants are built by the sea for plenty of access to water for cooling but on the other hand Ig you know your in a country that is prone to earth quakes then why build it by the sea

    Fukushima was an ill conceived design from day one. If you're on an island that is prone to earthquakes you shouldn't be building a nuclear power plant right on the coast. I know you need a cooling source, but you can build miles inland and pipe water to and from the ocean. Whoever signed the building permit F'ed up BIG TIME.

    The Japanese knew full well that a Tsunami could destroy the reactor. The safety systems put in place were inadequate

    I'm sorry…so why was this (and the other mentioned) nuclear plant built BY THE ocean in a country, where earth quakes are part of their lives? Even me, who's living in the middle of Europe, without seashore know, that tsunamis can be heavily triggered by the earthquakes. So why not to build such a plant to higher ground/farther from the ocean? I'm actually curious. Even with proper security measurements (that were missing in Fukushima) you don't want to risk much.

    The problem was the location of the nuclear power plant.

    Kinda stupid to have it on the shore of a country known for tsunamis
