Just to clarify the first responders of the 9/11 terror attack never expected the towers to collaps on top of them. They went in (yes risking their lives) thinking that they could save hundreds of people, which they did, and then hopefully get out alive. It did not work out that way. It was a very sad moment in the history of the USA and we all suffered the losses in our own way ten years ago. The heros of that event have been and will be celebrated for many years. None of this discussion has had anything at all to do with that disaster.

The workers at this Japanese nuclear power plant come to work every single day and try their best to keep themselves and that of the general public out of danger by doing their job well. Today they know that they will more than likely die working in these reactor buildings, and yet day after day they are sacrificing their lives to try and avert a complete meltdown of this facility. I am sure that they are well aware of the catostrophic damage this facility can create if it is not brought under control not just for them, but for the world at large. They are being asked to give their lives for the future of their families, their people, and their country, as well as the safety of our planet as their families watch. It seems from your post that all you hope to do is downplay their sacrifice as if it does not deserve recognition, or equal that of the 9/11 responders. Comparing this to 9/11 as if it is no more of a sacrifice is completely irrelivant to their efforts in Japan today. I dout seriously if the twin towers were left to lay where they fell that it would have had any negative affects on the rest of New York or that of the world to the level that this could. So once again what is your point?

Please don't take offense but I do not understand what you are trying to say. Oh and if the information that we share on here is fear mongering than what relative facts do you have to share in this thread that will lead anyone to follow your thinking? What details about this facility do you have that should help us all believe that this is nothing at all for us to worry about? Please share your professional assessment of the current situation that contradicts what is being shared in the news, and in this thread. Please help us understand what your point is and how it is relative to this discussion. Please shed some devine light on this matter that will eleviate everyones fears on the matter and we can all just go home and forget about it. Just to add some of us have family and friends still in Japan.
