[...] “If temperatures in the reactor cores keep rising beyond eight hours, there is a possibility of meltdown,” the official said during the first meeting, which started about four hours after the magnitude-9.0 earthquake and ensuing tsunami hit the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant, setting off the crisis.Apparently the government tried to play down the severity of the damage.

The track record so far is:
1. a bit of news comes out – like someone prominent getting ARS related leukaemia, or a big building going BANG -
2. we say my go(o)d what was that
3. Jp/Tep authorities say nothing happened
4. bloggers say bleedn hell yes it did, look at evidence, here,
5. Jp/Tep say it was a [something small not to worry about definitely not what you panicking scaremongers are worrying our white woollies about (BTW sheep killing => dog gets shot)
6. … much later …
7. evidence emerges that in fact was far worse than what we thought at step 4 above.
8. Jp/Tep confirm that we were right in the first place
9. Further evidence emerges of chaos, mental breakdown, air tickets purchased, mislaid instruction books including level 2 emergency plan, and broken thermometers, none of which admitted in first place.
10. rinse and repeat
Summary: Was worse than reported, worse than feared.
Prognosis: going to get worse & continue to do so.

If the government estimated their own nation`s ability to react properly under stress as poor, they could do the right things for protecting them, without explanations. They did not…

Absolutely agreed.
I'm starting to think they are preparing for something really BIG in Japan…. along these lines. Between the link I found on MSN openly speaking to the world about a collapse of the YEN and the R4 article suggesting the loss of Tokyo… we are seeing something very different out of Japan on their reality.
I want Japan to survive and rebuild better and as a world leader for important change.
Move yourselves NOW out of the danger zone PLEASE.
Our friend Kintaman made the right decision for their family.

pure water, they didn't even consider their /own/ reactions under stress.
I am sure we could go into this much more deeply but tbh 'nuff said, already on enenews about the preconditions.

@dear Jones Normally "law and order" goes hand in hand with safety. And the rights of the public to be protected under the "law"…yes I believe the public should be able to believe in the law, and the government. At this time, can they?

"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, "It means just what I choose it to mean – neither more nor less."
"The question is," said Alice, "Whether you can make words mean so many different things."
"The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "Which is to be master – that's all."
