Hello GoogleDriver419, you are aware that there was a google employee not too long ago who was fired for posting about google in his AMA right after he was hired? Just checking to make sure this is all...Ok with google that you're posting.

Also I saw one of the self driving cars in San Jose last weekend. I want one.

You're exactly right. There was a lot of talk about the great oversight that the backup generators were wiped out by the tsunami, but people failed to look at every other reactor which was hit throughout the country and yet performed their functions properly. Even at nearby Fukushima Daini, a major catastrophe was averted despite massive flooding. The problem has been with the public's now-eroded trust of TEPCO.

"An in-house study in 2008 pointed out that there was an immediate need to improve the protection of the power station from flooding by seawater. This study mentioned the possibility of tsunami-waves up to 10.2 meters. Officials of the department at the company's headquarters insisted that such a risk was unrealistic and did not take the prediction seriously"
