[QUOTE="Staccato, post: 56980013, member: 201342"] Excellently put Drekkan! I'm also sick to death of people saying "Well, it won't be as bad as Chernobyl", which serves only to evoke a sense of fear and panic in the general populace. It's lazy and patronising reporting, substituting emotion for facts. The only news services I've seen that's even attempting to approach this in a suitably balanced way in the BBC live stream. The fact that the article has to open with a debunking of the notion that the plant could go up in a 'nuclear explosion' (ie. mushroom cloud) is a crushing indictment of both the extent to which the media has been misleading people, and the woeful knowledge of even basic science a large portion of the population possesses.
