Is Japan fine now?

[Sunstrike]

Ya basically its an old story so the media doesn't cover it anymore, but I'd imagine a goodly number of people are still as the old saying goes "f-ed in the A". I did some work with habitat for humanity in new orleans a few years after katrina and the suburbs and slums were still completely demolished several years after the hurricane.

No because they still have Nintendo making shit...

Oh, you were talking about the earthquake...

I gotcha now.

I dunno, never gave a damn.

Japan is still recovering from the event. Rebuilding after any major disaster takes many months, years even.

I seriously couldn't care less for them, I am not joking.

There's still power shortages because the Fukushima-Daichi plant went offline. They're still trying to rebuild many houses that were smashed by the tsunami or knocked down by the earthquake, and a lot of people have been relocated to shelters. As far as the supply situation, no one is starving anymore, the efforts are going towards rebuilding.

It's funny how the news never follows up on these things. The day before the Japanese earthquake, a smaller quake in China killed 100 people. A month before that, there was that big earthquake in Christchurch that killed around 100 people. The news forgot about those stories to report on the Japanese earthquake, and now there hasn't been any followup.

Well, other than all the stories covering the reactor meltdown, which is a very minor crisis compared to all the earthquake damage.

The nuclear meltdown is anything but a minor crisis!!
If there is an explosion everything within 30 miles will be smothered in deadly radiation, the Fukishima economy is already buggered cause all the radiation in the water.

You have to realize that if something is not currently exploding, the media doesn't report on it.

Remember that giant earthquake in Haiti that was dominating the headlines a few months ago? Yeah, neither does anyone else.

As mentioned, the media stopped caring (or assumed their audience did, which amounts to the same thing).

To be fair, the media stopped caring about the tsunami within days of it happening, they moved on to pretending nuclear power plants were potential fusion bombs, but even that got old.

 

[Nannernade]

I'm pretty sure they are still in terrible shape but the media started to focus on the whole government shut down or whatever it is they are focusing on at this point in time.

 

[FalloutJack]

It's going to take a LONG time to rebuild.

 

[PrimaVita]

Are they fine? No.

 

[ckam]

It's still quite bad over there. It just didn't get any worse, for the media anyways, is all.

Well, the meltdown hasn't killed anyone yet, and it's physically impossible for the Fukushima-Daichi plant design to explode like Chernobyl. I didn't call it a minor crisis, I said it's minor compared to the earthquake damage. The temporary evacuations around the plant, and possible permanent evacuations closer to the site, are not nearly as bad as the complete devastation of the eastern coastline.
