Tokyo to host 2020 Olympic

[Deathshot]

So Tokyo, Japan will be the home of the 2020 Olympics. Quite interesting. It was predicted 30 years ago....

Hmm.

Anyone worried about that little thing that happened a while back? I can't remember what it's called, uh, Fukushima?!

 

[JTM]

KAAAANEEEEEDDAAAAA!

Wanted to write this earlier today, but just couldn't be arsed! Fukushima is a disaster in the 21st century, however the effects cannot be compared to other similar disasters as they were on a larger scale and not as contained. Tokyo will be fiiiiiiine! I'm going to Kobe in three weeks, Fukushima isn't even on my mind!

Fukushima recently had another big screwup.

Yeah I know about the radioactive water, but still!

No, it's close. Y'know, radiation doesn't exactly obey the boundaries of a city. It'll go wherever it damned well pleases.

Horatio is right, a few months back, some of the contaminated water made it into Ibaraki's water streams, which carried rain into Tokyo; people were warned to use umbrellas. It's incredibly hard to tell what is really happening with Fukushima,with a government that continuously lies to its people and the world, to save face.

The Fukushima disaster was rated at level 7 on the INES ( interenational nuclear event scale) which ranges from 0 to 7 as maximum, the same as Chernobyl. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukushima_Daiichi_nuclear_disaster#Accident_rating
After that they said that the radiation leak wasn't that bad(long life vs short life radiation ) because of the concrete containment vessels form Daiichi. Who knows what the real situation is. But it's not that close to Tokyo(aprox.180miles) http://goo.gl/maps/fDALX
Anyway... japanese economy suffered a lot because of the whole thing and this is probably the reason behind the choice.
