Yeah. As if anybody is going to say, "Oh look at how structurally sound that building appears, nothing to worry about there." Could anything at the bottom really look worse than the rest of this disaster?

Sure, collapsing, crumbling, disintegrating concrete footings.

Yes, Nuckelchen, thank you. The HUGE crack does appear very visibly in the shot you posted the link for.

Once again, i'd like to suggest that this is the section where the transport tunnel was located. Follow the link and it will become immediately obvious. It's to Nature magazine and i haven't read the article. I just wanted an earlier photo to show the comparison. This is just one photo of many all over the web of this wall. Just Google "Fukushima Unit 4 images" to find historical photos.
See earlier photo of this view of the building -
http://blogs.nature.com/news/2011/04/new_evacuations_announced_as_e.html
Removing the tunnel left a sizable gap in the wall large enough for a truck to pass through. It is also the passageway that TEPCO said they took the SFP 4 fuel rods out through for testing a couple months back. Why obscure it, i don't know since simply setting up a board or tarp would conceal the hole if leaving a gap there is the issue. Back then,TEPCO said they obscured the photo for national security reasons since there would be open fuel rods during the transport. Finished laughing everyone? K. Another thought is that they may also be constructing something such as "the new improved passageway" and consider it propriety information, just like their sarcophagus for Unit 3 was concealed until TEPCO revealed it, in large part, i think to go with Chernobyl's new facelift. There are companies making small fortunes in radiation remediation and Japan plans to be at the top in that field. Fukushima has become their bonanza.

To Review: We now have 3 Rogue Nuclear Reactors located somewhere in the mudstone under Buildings1,2,&3. TEPCO won't admit that Coriums1,2,&3 have left the buildings, and has no plan for bringing any of the 3 Rogue Nuclear Reactors under control.
TEPCO can't work on Buildings1,2,&3 because even the residual melted fuel coating the reactors, containments, and basements are just too hot for workers to go into.
SFP1,2,&3 contain about 1,400 spent fuel assemblies, which TEPCO has no plan for removing. How will TEPCO ever maintain and repair the rusted out pipes and pumps that are necessary to keep SFP1,2,&3 cool?
And now Building4 seems to be falling down around their ears. TEPCO has been clearing debris out of the way so they can begin construction on the crane support structure, but no construction work so far. SFP4 is a race against time, which TEPCO seems to be losing. Concrete at Fuku is fast turning into powder.
Can someone please tell me why TEPCO is still in control of the Fukumess? Time to send in the…

What? The Atomic Energy Commission has no "Quick Response" teams? The idea that they fired up nuclear reactors with no contingency plans for how to handle such disasters is absurd. (and criminal)

Much has been made at ENEnews about Unit4 sinking.
http://enenews.com/gundersen-fukushima-unit-4-sinking-confirms-japan-ambassador-building-begin-be-tilting-audio
Unit3 sits to the north of Unit4. If corium from Unit3 has migrated to the south, and undermined the foundation of Unit4, then the north wall of Unit4 would be most affected. But TEPCO keeps photoshopping the SOUTH wall of Unit4, in the area of the loading door. If corium from Unit3 extends all the way under Unit4 to the south wall, then we are all toast, since a failure of SFP4 is almost certain to follow. We are concerned because the SFP is located just above the loading door, on the south side of Unit4. If TEPCO wants to hide a failure of the first floor ceiling, they would simply cover the loading door with a tarp before taking the photo. If TEPCO wants to hide a failure of the foundation, they would photoshop just the foundation, rather than hide the entire loading dock door.
So something else is happening at Unit4 that TEPCO really doesn't want everyone talking about.

Any news about TEPCO/Japanese governement shareholders/officers moving to South America??? Or WEST of the problem to China/Korea/Russia? Here is your "sign"…

could be the quake shattered the foundations there, or leaking water in the basement has overloaded the structure.
so the south wall is cracking and failing

We can only hope that they are trying to conceal the fact that they are removing the spent fuel, they did state that this would be done in secrecy, I do live in hope but in reality. Any chance of this?

Need everyone's input
I'm thinking of having some 24 x 48" posters printed up protesting. Take a look at these.. do they do the trick? Any suggestions for more signs? I'm going with 2 color to keep cost lower.

Your link isn't working for me, JHewes76. What I get is "Index of /Private" but an otherwise empty site.
My guess is that you'd be best served with a viral vid on YT – turn some of your (excellent) still pics into vids.

JHewes76 – good slogans!! If I lived in larger urban area, or were traveling, I'd also consider creating thousands of these (and other slogans) as b/w strips of paper not much bigger than Chinese fortune cookie slips – the idea would be to leave them all over the place, among cans of beans at the supermarket, on chairs in cafes — anywhere at all.

@Maggie123 : That's a GREAT idea
I'm going to try to have a bunch printed, so I can mail them to people who want to protest.

Wonderful if someone can finally use this idea! I thought of it quite a few years ago but always live in communities so small that I've not felt it would work. I'd be 'detected' eventually and labeled an eccentric crank (which would be true in part but I try to keep a lid on it!)

Maybe you could pull something out of this Veterans' Today article and use it:

He has plenty of material for you to work from.
Thanks for asking for our input. And for doing something.
Now, if it were me making a poster, I'd draw some kind of a bunny with a big, big drum — but not violating Energizer brand's copyright. And I'd say something like, "Fukushima, it just keeps going, and going, and going …." Just have to be careful about copyright violations. Get the public thinking along the lines you want them to, w/o infringing on someone else's idea.
