Japan quakes

[FischOderAal]

Yes it is dangerous to drop stuff from helicopter, but in the absence of a better way, it is the only way.

As for the death toll from that incident, the internationally agreed figure is 4000. That 4000 includes people who have not died yet. Greenpeace have said 90,000+ will die/have died but they have an agenda. Some other people put far higher figures but the data has yet to show strong enough trend. Now, birth defects and general sickness... well that is another issue. I could imagine huge numbers all around Europe have been effected.

The number of 4.000 is BS (imho) and was defined in the first Tschernobyl conference in Vienna in August of 1986 by the Western governments. Based on the Hiroshima model they (the russians) estimated 40.000 people dying of cancer as a result of the accident. And the radiation in Hiroshima was less than in Tschernobyl. Of course, the estimation of the russians might not be right but I find it hard to believe that only 4000 people died when some of the workers had bleeding noses after a few minutes and they have been exposed for hours if you add the short intervals.

1. It will not have an nuclear bomb type explosion.

And what happens if the molten core with 2000 °C (or whatever its temperature is) hits ground water? What do you think will happen if a large amount of water gets vapourized in an instance? It might not be like a nuclear bomb, but it still can cause hell of an explosion.
