I'm a damn sight more concerned for the people of Japan but I guess that's "old news" now for the media!

The Miami radiation detected is less harmful than your TV set.

This will only get worse gang...the radioactivity in iodine has a half life of a week; but Plutonium makes the environment uninhabitable for human and animal life for a thousand years.

Pray to God, ladies and gentlemen that this does not get into the Japanese water supply.

(I don't want to) ..Imagine what might happen if Tokyo became uninhabitable....12 million Japanese people would have to be relocated....and you know full well they will never be allowed into China

Do not trust what your government tells you...they are only concerned with controlling society, and will do anything to avoid mass hysteria...and keep stability in the financial markets...

Are you impersonating the bogie man that lives under my bed or a "news" reporter

All I'm saying is you need to put everything in perspective. Certainly what Japan is suffering through is horrible, however scare mongering doesn't help anyone.
