The previous Fukushima Webcam Discussion Thread can be found here: http://enenews.com/fukushima-webcam-discussion-thread
This thread is for discussing matters related to the webcam(s) at Fukushima Daiichi.
UPDATE (via Nuckelchen): “Please note the ‘jst’ time of your observation. Also, describe as best as possible, what you see. Using North, South, East, and West to describe locations. Be specific whenever possible. This may sometimes be the ONLY record we have of such events.”

Note:
1. There is always something spewing from the upper left of R1. The translucent gases somewhat obscure the bright sunrise behind the gases on the 'original' view.
2. …and there is always something coming out of the upper right corner of R2. Seems easy to see, for me anyway, on the 'filtered' view. (The dark purplish blob, just below center)

….and rip the '480p version of the video…
(pretty big that file, 128 mb)
then i will convert the flash-file into something usefully like mp4, smash it into my magix-box and maybe we will have a realtime-video after all.
or i will play first the flash with the vlc mediaplayer [freeware=yeah!]

it will be for yourself much better working to have all of the loosy 640 x 480 pixels that tepco sended and not only a DOWN-RENDERED matschy youtube formated view.
doesn't matters how big you watch it, it is youtube down rendered.
and nobody knows how their software is working.
we only know that our uploaded mp4 files with 150 mb are downloadable as hd mp4 after youtubes virtual gang banging on my video with 30 mb.
so what the fact youtube?
vimeo for example is much smoother in that case.
and one more fact for us to know is:
we got two streams from tepco!
one supporting genius from japan had made videos with both streams by switching them together in their finaly timelapse,

Oh-thats a very heavy pasted photoshop coverup-to keep any FIRE or RED colors or flashes hidden from us. Those two areas on each side of Reactor 3–those are new "tents". Must have taken a few days to put those up, so they let us see the OTHER view. Guess if something falls or someone..its going to be hidden behind the photoshop glob…..

Right side of the BRIGHT white coverup on the webcam view, near Reactor 3–shows a large area of combustion? fire? red? from the ground to top of the tent covering about 1/3 of the building/glob. Wonder what THAT is? Look UP at the screen.

Looking at the TBS view, look at the line from R1 across R2(easy to see it is 1/2 the way up the building and goes all the way across) to Reactor 3. Its SURF or looks like a surf line. Wave and white froth — active motion. Wonder if the videos got pasted on top of each other? Others with better eyes..take a good look.

About those red flashes seen recently at night, with the TBS cam: I just realized something obvious. They were not from the sky, since the sky is not visible with that camera. They must have come from the surface of the ocean, possibly from a boat? They could not have been lightning flashes.

Roof Daytime Flashes. (?)
While watching the crane lower something near R3 yesterday I noted something strange in the background.
The building in the distance, beyond R1, started having 'flashes' that appeared to come from it's roof. Some smokiness too. Not sure what that building is or if it's R5 or R6?
Anyway, it looked sort of like a giant fluorescent light bulb or two.
At first I thought it was sunlight reflections. But it lasted for about ten minutes and would seem to 'pulse' as it progressed.
Starting at TEPCO Time 10:47:30 and highly active through 10:50:00 and past.
Located at time position marker 23:15 (approximately) on the recording.

The 1 PM feed. Starting to clear in second half of the hour.
Weather report: http://www.meteoblue.com/en_GB/point/forecast/tab/b/pictocast/c/jp/f/51932
The wind is picking up and blowing away the radioactive steam straight across the ocean to Alaska, Canada, and mainland USA.
I was expecting the demo work at Unit 3 to stir up Pandora's Box. Two wats to supress a fire… Smother it with a cover or remove the ignition points. They don't have a cover so they are picking at the nuclear fire to see if they can build a polyester tent around Unit 3 like Unit 1. Then on to Unit 2. This is all remote controlled crane work because the radiation will kill a worker quickly above units 1-3. There is still very hazardous work on the edges removing stubborn particles that fall from the crane hooks or even worse… Get stuck on the end of the cables. That broken metal and concrete they are excavating from Unit 3 is hot with MOX particles. Death sentence for those men nearby.
Stay tuned for worse to come.

been watching tbs/jnn cam for 21st.the amount of white/black smoke/poison emmisions and toxic shite spewing out from that never ending hell hole is madness,frightening and criminaly insane ..At some points the whole plant seemed to be not only white hot but certain places blue hot. orange /red emissions coming from the rectangle wall between R2-3.. Am I right in thinking behind that wall there is dry casks holding the fuel which they removed/experiment from R3-4 recently?
..It looks at times to be burning white/blue hot, sml blk crane was pouring something on top maybe water and black stuff too: boron?..white hot and blue plasma ball type arc lights from taller white part to left..So hot causing shadow onto R2 which also looked to be smoking black smoke, it could be coming from multiple places though. R1 glow balling at times and inside structure can sometimes be seen. Its difficult to pin point any one place for the smoke, camera panned further to the right briefly to hide R4 and shield/temp. wall on left of R1 could be seen white hot with smoke/Red emissions. Is there storage behind there? Everywhere there looks Lost, its a fukin nightmare!..as Wotcha said a lot of black stuff' flying about, debris/metal? not sure but took a few shots and they are not birds!..did see drone flying around the wall' but diff. shape, much slower, these are Fast! https://dl.dropbox.com/u/77637499/aug21blk%20ob6.PNG ..check livecam checker for vids. although some of them have been cut…

The unaware bird has no protective mask or suit. The food source it's ingesting is contaminated. It is another innocent victim.
It will suffer and die unless it flies into a car or becomes a meal for a tanuki, in which case the radiation would not be of any immediate concern to the bird.

I always examine the 1 PM feed pretty closely because they work frequently in that timd slot:

Notice the receptacle container the huge crane drops debris into and the kamikaze assistant on the ground. Not sure exactly what kind of protection (water-filled container?). Seems to be a smaller container to the immediate front side for some purpose.
Look at the 59 second to 1:25 mark at this night clip:
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VhmH05b2SIc
See the night worker by the container location? See any containers? They are hauling those away so they have an empty container for daylight work. At that rate I expect the demo work at Unit 3 to take several months, maybe into the spring of 2013. They are getting the easy lightweight metal now. It may be too dangerous to use the big claw machine we saw at Unit 4.
Big difference working on a reactor that blew a hot load of fissile fuel. The human war against the runaway cores has begun in earnest.

Lots of cement trucks and lorries with building stuff seen on the Tomioka cam. They could be trying to close in Reactor 3, as well as working on Reactor 4. We know R1 & R2 are far too radiated to handle so no plan for those, as yet.

Tepsham cam timelapses still posted but then again it could possibly be a taped re-run. Anyway, no workers have been seen working on the 26th.
