A few updated stories. First of all, I'm sure most of you heard of what happening in Middle East right now? First it was the Egypt uprising, and now it looks like the whole Middle East is going to some major changes.
There are many countries where the people demand changes, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, but the most crazy one is probably in Libya. The opposition wanted democracy since Gaddafi has been their leader for more than 40 years without a single election. I am all about democracy here, the stupid part, for me, is when the opposition start taking the changes serious by using guns and attacking the pro-government, taking over cities, that is when the whole changes movement start crumbling down.
Gaddafi mobilize his loyalist, mostly soldiers that have no problem shooting their own people dead, and bombing buildings where he believe the opposition stayed. Not only that, he is cutting off his country from all foreign helps, mostly medicine and food, so that the opposition starve to death.
The opposition has one powerful weapon when all this started, the global sympathy, but since the fighting begin, they has lost their objective. Now Gaddafi are winning, never ending bombing, capturing key opposition leader, induce fear in the people everyday life, has made the change movement all but whispers. I wish the foreign community especially the leader, takes drastic action on this. Last I check, killing of innocent people are punishable by death in the World Court.
Another major story now, is the earthquake in Japan. As you guys know, the death toll can reach up to 10,000 people, as 2,000 bodies were found recently. But that's not the worse part, the worse part is the nuclear plant that is going critical right now.
Fukushima nuclear plant is undergoing a meltdown as we speak, effort to restore power to the plant (ironic right) has taken longer than expected. What this will do, is that it will restore the cooling system in the plant, so that the core temperature can be lowered. However, up till now, 2 reactor are in critical states, another 2 are going to blow any moment.
Radiation level are soaring up to 800 times than normal near the plant. Currently there are no workers in the area, since the radiation are too high to work in. Most of the foreign leader are blaming Japan for not taking faster measures to deal with it, but I say give them a break, they've been hit an earthquake and tsunami, they are doing all they can.
There are 7 scale of danger in reactor meltdown, 7 being the most dangerous, only Chernobyl has been categorize as a number 7 scale. The plant in Fukushima is being categorize as number 4, but other said it is as close as a category 6. If the plant does explode, it will be deadly to people of 50 miles radius, with up to 1 millions death could occur.
In a lighter note, here's a video of a dog, that is loyal to it friend, even after the quake hits, it will not leave the friend, helps eventually arrived, and the 2 of them are safe. It just show how loyal animal can be.
