People are leaving Tokyo.
People are leaving Tokyo…foreigners and Japanese too.
Some countries, like France, are sending airplanes to evacuate their citizens.
People are afraid that radiation may spread over Tokyo too.
Actually I’ve heard that some radiation was already detected in Tokyo, but its level was not dangerous for people’s health.
Is situation so bad that requires people to leave Japan, leave Tokyo…run as far away from danger as possible?
Truth is that nobody really knows how much dangerous situation is.
Authorities and Tokyo Electric Power Company they do not give clear information how dangerous situation is and what is going on…so people feel uncertain about tomorrow…that is why so many leave Tokyo, many leaves also Fukushima prefecture.
People imagine the worse scenario.
I may imagine it too.
After all I have memory of Chernobyl.
There was also no information about events.
The child I was, I had no idea that something bad is happening, but adults had no idea too.
And we couldn’t go anywhere, there was no place to escape…it was already too late, because information came more than week after explosion in Chernobyl.
There is still chance that situation can be controlled and Fukushima plant will stop cause problems.
I do wish it will happen.
I do like happy ends.
