    Oh dear, you’ve already forgotten about Fukushima, and it was only 13 years ago. It was a safe power plant, until it wasn’t, and then the city was destroyed.

    Oh well, nobody could have predicted it. (Except for all of those people who did predict it. But let’s not worry about them. Let’s just forget about the whole event.)

      It got hit by a 9.0 earthquake AND a tsunami, and only ONE guy MAYBE died from radiation, FOUR YEARS later.

      I remember Fukushima.

      You never knew Fukushima. You only knew the bullshit shoveled into your ears.
