There is another link posted yesterday that got unnoticed: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6986333

The articles seem to be from 28th December. How comes that no big media coverage happened? At least in Europe I did not hear anything.

At the bottom of this article there's a link to a news piece over 3 months ago stating frequent steam plumes seen (mid-Sept).

Even if the situation is escalating, it's difficult to generate news audience interest something that was happening 3 months ago... not without real data, at least. Who is monitoring Fukushima right now? Just [lying] TEPCO? Where is/are the data?

Update by a watchblog:

When reading some of these stories, I try to understand people's motivations and background (or here the website/station).

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hal_Turner

I'd also like to see some details from or credentials of the "experts" cited in the assertion that this is a meltdown.

Why not just come out and say it? The radio network is owned by Hal Turner who is according to wikipedia a "Holocaust Denier" so therefore nothing that is presented on his network should be listened to by the upstanding moral citizenry.

Not sure if that's an attempt to troll but I'll answer.

Just take stuff on TNN with a grain of salt.

The supposed holocaust denial is in the first Wikipedia paragraph (and I admit that these accusations are usually used to stop discussion), but keep reading...

He's had a few run-ins with the government including threatening three federal appellate judges and being generally "provocative". The website seems to have an anti-government sentiment in general and reading some of the other stories (US West Coast uninhabitable by 2016/2017 afair - if true, good bye SV and YC) I'd take this with a grain of salt.

That said, I bought iodine pills in 2011 and kept them around. Steam from reactor 3 is probably not good and neither is the radioactive wastewater that runs into our oceans.
