This would have essentially left no one to keep things under control, leading to further radiation leakage and plant closures, and quite possibly the eventual evacuation of Tokyo. According to the investigation’s leader, Yoichi Funabashi, this TEPCO plan did not go through for one primary reason.</p> <blockquote> <p>He [Funabashi] credited Mr. Kan with making the right decision in forcing Tepco not to abandon the plant.</p> <p>“Prime Minister Kan had his minuses and he had his lapses,” Mr. Funabashi said, “but his decision to storm into Tepco and demand that it not give up saved Japan.”</p> </blockquote>http://forgedaboudit.tumblr.com/post/18440414400http://forgedaboudit.tumblr.com/post/18440414400Tue, 28 Feb 2012 11:29:00 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m02bwr71KC1qz6f9yo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://thisisnthappiness.com/post/18385132456/terror">nevver</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>T<a href="http://www.art-magazin.de/kunst/49501/neon_paris?cp=13">error</a></p> </blockquote>http://forgedaboudit.tumblr.com/post/18386875574http://forgedaboudit.tumblr.com/post/18386875574Mon, 27 Feb 2012 13:30:21 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lfwc5hSBlL1qzfye6o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://melisaki.tumblr.com/post/3042696069/howard-clifford-running-off-the-tacoma-narrows">melisaki</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p class="tlt">Howard Clifford running off the Tacoma Narrows Bridge during collapse, 7 Nov. 1940</p> <p>via: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/uw_digital_images/4861196144/">UW Digital Collection</a></p> </blockquote>http://forgedaboudit.tumblr.com/post/18279249777http://forgedaboudit.tumblr.com/post/18279249777Sat, 25 Feb 2012 18:46:32 -0500<a href="http://www.theawl.com/2012/02/i-am-the-worlds-worst-sperm-donor">Sperm Donation as the Future for Men</a>: <p>Obviously anything about how millenials can’t find jobs and how women are replacing men in the workplace is trite.
