My guess would be a bite from an Egyptian Asp.

Odd these workers aren’t better profiled in a “hero” campaign…even as a group…
How about the merest biographical data…age, work experience…
“Worker X, laborer, old, single, homeless, indebted to Yakuza…”
Stuff like that…

W00t – don’t get many laughs like that these days.
Thanks!

humor unintentional doesn’t hurt.
Two points:
Who are these people that are dealing with this monumental crisis?
It’s not the “talking heads”.
Why are they the “invisible men”?
Are the outside workers doomed liquidators?
Are the inside workers the usual TEPCO crews? Any “outside” expertise in use?
Isn’t there some “value” to the “nuclear village” to promote a “everyone pulling together and getting the job done” image?
It smells, just like all the rest of it.

I was laughing at the Asp image, but your “hero” comments provoked a wry smile also.
I imagined Hollywood/Nashville having to change the “Ballad of the Fukushima Fifty” to 49, 48, 47… 10, 9, 8….
You’re right that there would normally be a hero cult meme flying around – I think that’s what they tried to do in the first few days, and it got pushed aside by reality. If one starts up again, it might actually be a sign that someone thinks the story will end happily. Chilean miners, and all that – dinner at the White House.

Tea with the Emperor!

Better…tea with Mochizuki!

Nah. They’re all just ants, missing, unaccounted for, unrecorded, nobodies…until the “whistle” blows…

I bet it was a microscopic sized asteroid, plumetting to earth and striking said worker in the noggin. He is a hero of radiation….

Nothing to do with radiation? What were they cleaning again?

The oompa loompa was juicing the singing fat lady. It’s over man. Checkmate again.

Their dirty conscience, and worker`s future!

I would venture to say that if the radiation hadn’t been deposited there, then he would not have needed to be cleaning it up, and whatever the physical cause of his death was that the root cause was, in fact, radiation.

Headline re-do more truth same words
Removing just another radioactive worker found in soil.

To the press (and I know you are monitoring
this to determine how you are failing):
What Agency made the determination of cause of death?
What were their findings as to the cause of death?
How were the remains disposed of?
Was he wearing a radiometer?
What were the radiometer readings?
Report Comment
Maybe he came across a blasted out fuel pellet or rod piece.
