according to the nuclear whizz kids on the BBC

they had little choice but to let it escape because of the build up of hydrogen which could have blown the whole plant up sending seriously massive amounts of radiation into the atmosphere, which is what happened at Chenobil.

Thet bloke on the BBC was not getting hysyerical at all. mean while over on Fox Newsit was the end of the world

        I really liked the bloke they had on the BBC. (General Chat) - Arganth, Mar 13, 18:27:14
        
        I don't remember people panicking *that* much about Chernobyl at the time (General Chat) - Worzel Scrimmage, Mar 13, 18:09:23
        
        that`s because (General Chat) - emmaroyds, Mar 13, 18:11:38
        
        and because (General Chat) - LowestoftBoy, Mar 13, 18:15:42
        
        the fact is they may not be able to stop these exploding either (General Chat) - Worzel Scrimmage, Mar 13, 18:13:15
        
        they can't explode like chernobyl can they? (General Chat) - SCC 28, Mar 13, 18:18:02
        
        No, don't think so (General Chat) - BerlinCanary, Mar 13, 18:22:24
        
        that`s what I heard too (General Chat) - emmaroyds, Mar 13, 18:20:22
        
        let's hope not. I'd hope their emergency is a little better than Russia's 30 years ago (n/m) (General Chat) - Worzel Scrimmage, Mar 13, 18:22:47
        
        it could well come to that (General Chat) - emmaroyds, Mar 13, 18:16:22
        
        iI don't think there's much they can do, except the concrete tomb thing (General Chat) - Worzel Scrimmage, Mar 13, 18:20:15
        
        anyway, I hope this puts the chilean govt off letting those cunts Suez build one here (n/m) (General Chat) - Worzel Scrimmage, Mar 13, 18:25:10
  - that won't help the nuclear meltdown much (General Chat) - Worzel Scrimmage, Mar 13, 17:52:53
    - Even a meltdown isn't disastrous so long as it's contained within the steel container (General Chat) - BerlinCanary, Mar 13, 18:11:12
      - meltdown will result in the metal containment chamber being breached though... (n/m) (General Chat) - Worzel Scrimmage, Mar 13, 18:13:51
        
        Not necessarily - indeed they're just saying the same thing on the BBC... (n/m) (General Chat) - BerlinCanary, Mar 13, 18:19:23
        
        incidently ( a little off topic but relevent) (General Chat) - emmaroyds, Mar 13, 18:24:08
        
        Gotta say, I've started watching NHK, CCTV and Russia Today more than BBC or Sky. (n/m) (General Chat) - Arganth, Mar 13, 18:28:56
        
        Russia Today isn't the most neutral of news channels! (n/m) (General Chat) - Brandonio, Mar 13, 18:42:44
        
        No, it's not. (General Chat) - Arganth, Mar 13, 18:48:15
        
        indeed (General Chat) - Tombs, Mar 13, 19:03:22
        
        I've got a BBC World cable channel (General Chat) - Worzel Scrimmage, Mar 13, 18:27:03
        
        I have BBC World; but it's generally shit (General Chat) - BerlinCanary, Mar 13, 18:26:49
        
        I think it's ok. When there's big news the coverage is pretty decent (n/m) (General Chat) - Worzel Scrimmage, Mar 13, 18:28:42
        
        Oh, yeah there's CNN too; but that's a waste of time (General Chat) - BerlinCanary, Mar 13, 18:41:16
        
        must admit (General Chat) - emmaroyds, Mar 13, 18:46:34
        
        Robert Fisk at the Indy for anything Middel East related (General Chat) - BerlinCanary, Mar 13, 18:52:29
        
        no, but it's a grave danger surely. I think it depends how much fuel goes into meltdown (n/m) (General Chat) - Worzel Scrimmage, Mar 13, 18:21:00
        
        lust watching the beeb now (General Chat) - emmaroyds, Mar 13, 18:43:26
