    Reactor 2, in TBS webcam, the white paste up image shows yellow/emissions by the corner nearest to Reactor 3. Think this is where you are seeing the activity. A red blog near Reactor 4, that might be the vehcile we see frequently, (bus?, crane base?). But with the poor resolution of the TBS webcam hard to tell. TEPCO is just a steaming mess. To rate reactors today, Reactor 2, Reactor 3 (because of 2), Reactor 4, Reactor 1.

    Reasons, Reactor 2 has been showing emissions and flares of areas around the base for at least a month. Slowing seems to be increasing. Reactor 1 is showing the sames internal activity it has had for weeks, with blue oval, yellow/orange higlights, and the interanal frame of the reactor showing thru the walls. The tent seems to have moved during the last major EQ a week or so ago. So either tent moved..or ground did. I like the thought of the "tent" moving –for some reason that seems better….

    I hope there is a posting problem here.The silence is frightening. I am on this site several times a day to learn enough to be an effective educator. Some of you are obviously brilliant and wonderful teachers. It is my focused effort to share what I learn with anyone who has ears to hear it.I want to thank you for helping me to protect my family. We schedule activities around the rain forecast, even here in north Texas, as your site has taught me about the jet stream coming straight across the pacific and right over our heads. No more imported fish at first, though now it's local everything because Texas sells so much California produce and meat. Understanding the risks this far away, would have been impossible without Enenews. I understand this ongoing nightmare may continue to horrify and I am selfishly,nervously, wondering where all the brave and fierce watchdogs have been aaaaaaaaaaallllll daaaaaay!!!

      Nice to meet you East Texas. It's been a long haul keeping focused and being diligent about lifetstyle changes. Staying inside as much as possible especially on windy and rainy days. Replacing the most expensive HEPA air filters in my air vents frequently (ouch… I think they know a gold mine because the prices have exploded upward for better filters). Cheap filters serve as a poor deterrent to radioactive dust.

      I was waiting eagerly for South American apples to show up in the stores here in west Texas. Finally the fresh crop of Chile apples arrived last week. To the people in the know USA west coast apples are off the menu along with other items like lettuce, carrots, brocoli…etc.

      I am buying Costa Rican and Guatemalan bananas, pineapples. Mexican lettuce and now buying 15-month aged cheddar blocks at Sams. Have about 100 pounds stored up along with a months supply of safer water. Just never know when the webcam is going to go dark for a final time. When Unit 4 drops it will create numerous plumes for weeks, maybe longer. Ansolutely zero confidence the Japanese will be able to stop the bigger horrors to unfold.

      Take care and be a good teacher, but family comes first and don't stick out like a nail waiting to be hammered. Jobs are scarce and people are going to do what normally do and that includes denying bad news especially when the government controls the flow of really bad news to a trickle.

    The "silence" is also people collecting video data. Takes a LOT of time..and thought..and care. Then doing reruns and zooming in to details. Nuckelchen is an expert, Anne is as well as many others. Sometimes we get irritated and make comments, but mainly trying to report honestly what is seen. Not "making" up the information, just observing. And very nervous about the white images covering up the reactors, the re-runs, the fog covering, black "smoke" hiding events, and even the "floating crane of Reactor 1." . You will also find the contributors on the other areas of this site, trying to keep on topic for each type of happening. Keep watching!

    Is TEPCO webcam down? TBS is up and grading of events= ALL Reactors show activity. So Reactor 1, 2, 3, and 4 are all gettng roses today. And that might be why no TEPCO webcam.

    Mr. TEPCOman, when you have a second, could you stop making the photoshop images for the webcam footages and check the TEPCO webcam camera? THX.

    I am really sorry, I have not enough time just now. I have to argue, which I do not like for many years. But I would like to share my position. Modern science has adopted the idea of damaged DNA being the main reason for most of he cancers. When the genes which are responsible for proper replication of DNA are damaged, the risk of cancer goes up. We all know that radiation has the potential to do this better than most of other carcinogens. With the environment more and more filled with radioactive substances, we doom future generations. It is not immediate threat, it is imminent threat! Tell me I am wrong. I wish, the russian scientists, who search on the elctromagnetic nature of DNA are right, and not the official science. They claim that DNA can be repaired under ceratin frequences. I do not know.Just share my recent searches.
    Sorry, if this sounds off topic.
    Reactor 2 on both cameras is the champion, and it looks like the south-east part of it is problematic.
    Thanks everybody for watching and posting.

    all offical radio-counters are going now to close or slow down their workings so we will only have our optical impressions at next.

    and one reason more for the following video is to talk about it! because it was importent what was happened in the night from 1. to 2. of march 2012.

    and i have the realtime records from both channels :-)

    i had yesterday started with upload'em.
    but today my screen is broken, again, a fckng cheap elko is melted again :-(
    0,14 euro and 30 minutes of time will be need and then it will goes on with uploading of the realtime records.
    or i could jump into my basement and crawle out my old 19", analog…
    anyway, we will see what a nucky will do tonight, here is the result from that what he had done last night.

    so please stop ur threadjumping my ladies and laidback and watch.
    and like mostly in my videos it is importent to look it completly to the end.
    because then you will see how the dark steam is coming throw and will be mixed into the from the back coming white cushions.
    but my crappy english is not able to explain it at all so please have a look:

    2012-03-01 22:34 JST major-event @ tepco fukushima in realtime

    let me finishing my uploads first before we go on and talk about it.
    and let us talk about one major-event after one and not about to many major events in the same time.
    nothing will be lost.

      Woah! That was like an alien entity decending upon #3. If that was an overlay, Nuk will lift the veil and show us what occured on the night of 3/1/2012.

      This is further proof that the dramatic sideshow of #4 SFP is just a future act in the book that is Fukushima. What has already happen, 2 full meltdowns, 1 massive core ejection of deadly MOX fuel, multiple SFP's burning dry, is the real story that already happened and will be remembered for time immortal. If we make it that far, as the Grim Reaper is already swingin his scythe in a trillion locations across this wounded Mother Earth that we call home.

    • Hi Nuck. Thanks as always. So I watched the video and saw two small red flashes.
      One at 04:15 in the top right corner near the tower and one at 12:19in the lower left corner, near the right pipe.

      That is the strangest man made cloud I have ever seen. It does not seem to like R2, as it never touches it. The black steam around R2 has its own heartbeat.

      I am thinking this could actually be the ultimate solution for containment? Shoot this really thick cloud at the reactors to capture all the radioactive emissions that are being released. The clould is so heavy it hugs the ground and places the radioactivity back on the ground all around the reactors? Clearly cement and steel domes are not going to work. Just a crazy thought, but one that occurred to me while watching Nuck's video capture.

    after teaching myself a little bitly in theses nuke-materials i become more and more a feeling of the situation on that "the matrix" movies based.
    absolut far away from reality with the only reason for life on is to getting sucked out….more in a mental way meaned and not one to one like in the movies.
    its not like the we were all sheeps and "unknown-ones".
    to be blind means only a reduze of one thing, but what the nuke stuff goes on, we were blind on our ears and in our minds.

      Now I think the "cloud" is dry ice? From Wikipedia:

      Dry ice, sometimes referred to as "Cardice" or as "card ice" (chiefly British English), is the solid form of carbon dioxide. It is used primarily as a cooling agent. Its advantages include lower temperature than that of water ice and not leaving any residue (other than incidental frost from moisture in the atmosphere).

      The process of altering cloud precipitation can be done with the use of dry ice.[30] It was widely used in experiments in the US in the 1950s and early 60s before being replaced by silver iodide.[30] Dry ice has the advantage of being relatively cheap and completely non-toxic.[30] Its main drawback is the need to be delivered directly into the supercooled region of clouds being seeded.[30]

    okay,
    here we are.
    with our first world wide analyses of a syncro view in realtime,
    without the stress of a daily reporting, what means that we can talk about so long as it will need.
    and then we can pick up the next major event.
    in the first two weeks of march 2012 were a lot of major events down on fukuground.
    as we can see now for example here:
    http://enformable.com/2012/04/march-16th-2011-usaf-detects-elevated-radiation-levels-from-northern-tip-of-japan-to-tokyo/

    i will make a thread in my blog too where we can build some struckturs in it and where we don't "roll-up like a rolle of klopapier" .
    you can write comments without regis there so pßlease feel you free to be a part of us.

    link will follow…

    @nuckelchen Great footage showing Reactor 1 STEAM OUT event. And then the famous "black smoke" –which by now we all know is the camera operators way of "hiding" bad things we are not supposed to see. Since we are not children, I think they need to let the video show the true facts. Again, the TEPCO webcam operators will likely be the first to face the fury of the people exposed to this radiation. Wonder what the amount of radiation in that event streamed over Tokyo. The wind was from the North East, and blew towards populated areas. Not nice.

    Grade for today for TEPCO webcam. Reactor 2 is just sending out more and more emissions which you can see from a lower view (looking up at the screen). Reactor 1 keeps sending up emissions.flap flap of the panels of course. And ALL the vent/stacks show emissions (seen as bright flashes of blue lights) up the sides of the structures and out the top. Its enough to affect the clouds. Now TODAY Reactor 2, Reactor 1, Reactor 4 and Reactor 4. Could almost consider Reactor 2 and 1 in the same case (not good).

    As long as no earthquakes, Reactor 4 is just swaying in the wind but kind of stable. Reactor 3 has the normal firelike emissions at the front of the reactor as seen from TBS as well as Reactor 4 –BUT since TEPCO made a heavy fog arrive–which is not seen on the TEPCO webcam–TBS is hardly useful.

    BUT: i don't have the time to make videos or topics of it.
    BUT:its need to bring out to the public.NOW!)

    or wait for the next *the soap above us* video from me, i had a 'nuckle full of new satpics from da dundee downnuckeled last week.

    and then:
    (tätätätääÄÄÄ:)
    i had figuered out how much we must pay for one of theses birdy-eye & geo-suck sat pictures from our fuku-yalla.
    they passing now two times a day da fuknukground and they have a resulotion from 0.33 meter.
    a picture will be have 16 x 2.2 meters and will be paid with max 8.000$.
    BUT:
    the usa-gov who had the thump on the pictures from the only two "private" satellites will be have a look first and then we could have it.
    BUT BEFORE:the japanesse gov will be asked by every pictures for given the rights for free AT FIRST.

    and one more:
    since some days all maps in earth/bing/yahoo etc are wrong declared.
    every pictures're wrong now.
    mostly we can see a date from 2012 on older views.

    You all are too good! JNN is now down. Looking to see what got the TEPCOman's ire up. Heart of the Rose? Nuckelchen? Pure Water? Just purely pink colored perfect!
    Grading tonights show on TEPCO webcam, Reactor 1, Reactor 2, Reactor 4 and Reactor 3. Reactor 1 because of the oranges/yellows showing up on the "tent" near the top left rear area..and the emissions streaming out the back of the reactor towards the ocean. Reactor 2, has a "hot spot" as shown by Nuckelchen on the top of the right front–just behind the vent/stack for R1. So both are pretty unhappy sites.

    Will be looking at JNN when it comes back on–if it does today. Again, you all are TOOOOO good!

    Jec, this website stays up all the time: http://www.youtube.com/user/tbsnewsi

    If you turn the contrast up you'll see the part of (I think) no. 2 reactor bldg edge and a phantasmagoria of swirling blackish green (ugh!) with not much else visible. Staring into the screen I see what looks like a hellish vortex of lighter green spewing out of where I imagine no. 3 reactor or the current 'pile of rubble' is located.

    Earthquake makes Reactor 1 more active. Keep an eye on the "tents"..yellow/oranges show thru the pasted up images on TEPCO webcam. TBS/JNN is still dark. This EQ must have been one at a depth and power to stir the "pot." Hard to tell how Reactor 4 is handling it, but definately Reactor 1 "noticed."
