probably need vlc to watch that but man thats an eeiry 10 minutes.
If you cant watch it its some amateur footage by two japanese guys who just got in their car with two rad counters and headed into what folks are calling 'the zone' in an eeiry parody of the term coined in roadside picnic for the chernobyl no mans land.
Difference is this is near a still failing reactor, gotta commend them for their crazy on that point.
The video is just eeire though.
Early on they run into a pack of dogs made up of 5 or 6 different breeds roaming the streets together, all wearing collars and wagging their tails when they realise humans have approached them.
it was pretty interesting to see, we assume tame animals instantly revert to their animal nature but it looks like, form the reports in the area, they seem to be sticking together because they're just lonely- which must be an impact from being raised by man no?
Heading in they see the rads climb as they encounter destroyed roads, abandoned ghost towns and bridges over valleys that are just completely gone. Cattle just free and roaming the streets in tiny herds.
All in all its a very spooky 10 minutes. All the moreso after they announced today that fukushima is indeed a level 7 nuclear disaster on the same level as chernobyl. Especially when russia is goddamn massive and pripyats no go zone remains a spec they have been able to ignore and let nature attempt to retake.
This is a very narrow choke point on the northern island of japan and the public officials are stating 'possible worst case scenario right now is that eastern japan is simply ruined'.
It's fucking crazy that , in this day and age where every nation is paranoid about terrorists and civil wars and such that an earthquake- a natural event the earth has been doing forever- can cause an accident of such an undoable, lasting scale.
Lets just say im glad England isn't near any large fault lines or anything. jesus...
