Earthquake did the damage to a criminally designed, built and
run nuclear installation.
These photos are a diversion from the truth of the situation now occuring that
Tepco wants to hide.

I agree with you Sam that the earthquake would have alone destroyed the plant. But we can't prove that because nobody will be examining the offlimits reactors in this century. We can prove they lost the safety gear because of criminal negligence.
The likelihood of being alble to sue the government or Tepco for damages is unlikely. Tepco told a golf course owner in the evacuation zone "the radiation now belongs to you".
Quite an absurd attitude in the courtroom, but the judge bought it.

I see. So all those children contracted leukemia and thyroid problems caused by THEIR radiation.

TEPCO isn't required to carry insurance. All the NPPs around the world are insured by their governments – which means the people. Hard to sue yourselves. And then there's the 'National Security' card, played by the US a lot. Hard to beat that in court. I don't think anyone ever has gotten past that.
Sure kept the Area 51 workers from collecting damages from their toxic substances class action. The government said it 'didn't exist', even though the workers went there every day for years, and they had photos. The 'National Security' card got played and the judge bought that line, too.
Hard to beat the man, especially in court.

Actually I stand corrected. Tepco did present the defense of "it's your radiation now" but the district judge in November rejected that idea. However, he ruled in favor of Tepco by saying the government was responsible for cleanup and that the radiation wasn't that bad anyway:
"But the court went on to say that central or local governments should be responsible for the decontamination work, given the efficiency of their cleanup operations so far.
The district court also rejected the companies' demand for compensation, saying the golf course operations could have been resumed because the radiation levels were below 3.8 microsieverts per hour, the yardstick set by the science ministry in April for authorizing the use of schoolyards"

SP: So there we see the nuclear cabal's Nuclear Liability Act in action. Tepco: "We don't need stinkin' insurance, we just need the government to have our back".

Mother nature proves to be more than a match for egotistic humans. In theory nuclear plants should be invulnerable to tsunamis, tornados, hurricanes, and earthquakes. But theories go out the window when reality proves how tiny we are as humans compared to this huge world.
There were seven waves at Fukushima that day and they wrecked the battery backups, all the diesel generators except for one, and probably most critical the electronic brains of the plant's electrical system was destroyed. The guages were destroyed but at least one of the waves was 46 to 49 feet in height.
Why did those waves destroy the most important safety equipment at the complex? Because they placed those critical components in the basement of the turbine buildings which were.
If they had been in a stronger building the equipment would have survived at least for this natural event.
You can see an illustration of the turbine buildings and the equipment that was lost on page 11 (or page 7 by their page numbering):

At :42 The IAEA reported the earthquake caused a power outage Fukushima Npp.
Tsunamis are reasonably rare..earthquakes are not.
This is why it is important that the people believe the tsunami caused the disaster.
But it's a lie.

Why haven't they built the whole plant up that slope full of trees, when such tsunami-happening was announced even by Japanese books of history ?
Report Comment
because they excavated that wooded slope to bring the reactors down closer to sea level, so they wouldn't have to spend so much money pumping the water up that awful steep obstructing beach bluff, which, if they had built on top at original grade, would have provided plenty of safety margin from tsunami … which is irrelevant, since the meltdowns were dialed in by the earthquake!!!

Love that answer!

HUGE headllines about HUGE tsunami causing MASSIVE damage to impregnable safe nuclear power plant….
as the information trickles out, drip feeding to a public that increasingly no longer believes the whitewashing and deliberate obsfuscating turbulance of the truth.
how about the videos from the Israel firms security cameras inside the plants just before the big blow? that's a state secret, right?

15 meter high splash of dark red liquide as the first wave hit the ground.
15-20 meter in front of the part where the water rushed in, but exact same stating time:

maybe a possible trigger for the tepcollapsen?
let it be some synthetic fluid with a function that will be need.
o-ha, idea:
not synthetic, just rusty water.
(rusty water=seawater leaks in the water inlet systems at all/the drywell/torus/decompro="sogenannter rostfrass"
