The Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant Disaster

"a brilliant design to run without electricity, as long as there is battery power."
just think about that one

The thumbnail resembles a kurzgesagt thumbnail, the animation resembles SCP Explained, ain't it?

I like the video but the animations at points are just plain wrong. Like when you say “The water level in the core is lowering” but you show the water level lowering in the fuel pools instead.

I'm subscribed to this channel and enjoy your videos. Please do not steal imagery from Kurzgesagt to get views. It's dishonest.

Kinda tasteless to describe such a horrible disaster with a cheerful tone, and the transition to the sponsor segment felt disresepetful.

And you should've named at least some of the volunteers who were willing to go towards the dangerous areas in hopes of saving others, like the two guys that tried to open the stuck valve.

Disasters isn't an appropriate subject for entertainment (except maybe some dark comedy), but for education.

The Fukushima and Chernobyl techs who volunteered to help intervene are among the bravest people ever.

This is what happens when you don't hire technicians on site 24/7 - no one to fix jack just when its was needed the most.

Men are brave

Kurzgesagt thumbnail?

Feet and farenheit... ugh

Copycat

Liar there was never a deadly level of radiation outside of unit 1!!!!

Had it JUST been the earthquake, this could have been still really bad but contained...
but the Tsunami essentially turned the entire situation into a Hopeless "Delay as long as possible" situation.

Some HAD to kniw there was nothing else they COULD do but delay. For NOTHING yet built has ever bewn able to withstand when Natures essetially delivers a full strength punch right to your "Disaster-proof" monuments and reminds you: Theres NO hope when she decides to make your day a literal hell.

Wow that thumbnail is ripping off Kurzgesagt so hard.

Japaknees?? Really??? 😂 😂 😂

what in the Kurzgezagt rip off.... 😮

They messed up with the safty designs...
They needed 2 more aspects. A 30-50 HP generator on the top left side of the floor protected by steel at a 45 dagree angle to divert any explosions, this would suck in sea water as a last resort, ALSO 2nd roof venting that could be manuly opened if no power.
Install this for all 4 buildings and all of this could of been avoided. Have backups of your backups that can handle anything.. even a hydrogen bomb

Did the tsunami hit it

those dumb arse people that still burn coal, hahaha

On one hand there is Fukushima who sacrificed himself to save people
On the other we there was that bastard Dytlov who killed 100 thousands of people and still have the audacity to say he was in toilet🤡🤡, i hope that bastard rott in hell

"The Fukushima nuclear accident resulted in one confirmed death from radiation-related lung cancer, while over 2,200 deaths were attributed to evacuation and related stress. Most studies indicate that there were no immediate fatalities from acute radiation exposure, but potential long-term cancer risks remain uncertain."
So, in basic terms: The "disaster" itself caused a SINGLE death. Peoples FEAR of radiation, because of left wing alarmists, caused 2200 deaths?
Well... I am honestly not surprised.

did anyone click on this thinking it was kurzgesagt?

I recently learned that a vast amount of the Japanese people see this event as a great shame upon their people and country when that couldn’t be farther from the truth at least from the American perspective. They fought mother nature with every ounce of will they had and sacrificed greatly at no fault of their own and prevented one of the largest nuclear disasters of all time. They should be greatly honored by how hard they fought for each other. Every bit of their efforts should always be commended!

If only they could have known that Japan has earthquakes or if we could have known that the country that invented the term "tsunami" might have a tsunami.

Hopefully we don't have a nuclear reactor in the US that explodes if anyone plays Freebird, or a cheeseburger gets to close.

Seriously?

15 hours not shit

They did everything they could and still failed. Thats not a failure on the workers, but the technology

disliked for using the same type of thumbnail that Kurzgesagt uses.

Please don’t use that art style you used on the thumb nail you look like kurzgesagt and this is very controversial for me personally

How do you know that what happened 8:41

Rwapwct to those who stayed behind and those who said "Screw their rules and money! Do what must be done people!"

Nuclear plants should consider Murphy's law a little more.

You’d think after enough of these things failing so detrimentally that they’d try to find a new renewable energy source but what do I know right🤣

why are people in add it near the water knowing they live where there is danger maybe add it away from water

My Japanese buckling.... Has me rolling hahhaahhahhahah😂😂😂😂

i dont know how anyone can avoid this disaster
its like after defeating Godzilla then Thanos spawned immediately
this is no Chernobyl slop, if anything its just rigged

It was espionage good people.

Horrendous. Nuclear power plants can easily go sideways. Terrifying lack of preparation and incompetence

March 11th is my birthday.

its crazy how chernobyl is still evaquated and no one lives anywhere near, but fukushima still full of people and still living around those areas even today. its a mystery when these effects will start to show...

Yet another reason to stand up against greed

If only Dyatlov had this level of integrity 😩

From what i heard the cause of the earthquake was the mining in the ocean
