Words of support and gratitude

I have to share this with you. I don't know if the workers at the Fukushima nuclear plants will actually get to see this page but it made me tear up (in a good way) when I read it: http://morgsatlarge.wordpress.com/support-our-heroic-engineers-2/

It's a site set up for people to express their gratitude and support towards the workers at the nuclear plants who have chosen to stay and deal with the nuclear crisis, knowingly exposing themselves to unhealthy radiation dosages. I hope the engineers will have a chance to read these messages at some point.

It looks like the helicopter-water bombing effort was ineffective but at least there's a power cable connected to the site, which means there's hope they can begin pumping water to cool down the fuel rods again.  Finally some positive progress. I'm praying for things to work out from now on!

  2. Thanks for the appreciation Grimmly. I needed to read these encouraging words more than anyone else to restore my faith in humanity. The unhelpful and mistrusting comments that follows the online news articles are truly depressing.
