Tokyo Evacuation

[PocketChange]

You are correct, This was a hack-n-paste from a HuffPost commenter.

Quote from GTS:

Reading is fundamental.

The WSJ article say that Tokyo is considering more evacuations not that they are considering evacuating Tokyo.
"The areas under review include one neighborhood each in two cities, and could affect more than 180 families."

As for the ABC article....
What you wrote: "Japan's former prime minister Naoto Kan said evacuations on such a scale will make Japan being unable to function. 30 million people from Tokyo and surrounding areas are to be evacuated as a result of the Fukushima nuclear disaster"

What he said: "Japan's former prime minister Naoto Kan has revealed he contemplated evacuating as many as 30 million people from Tokyo and surrounding areas during the Fukushima nuclear disaster."

Tokyo evacuating? You've gotta be kidding me... about 30 million people live in the Tokyo metropolitan area... it's unrealistic.

Experts are calling for the evacuation of Tokyo.

As far as I'm aware they never extended the 20 klm evacuation zone, and they now appear to be sending people back to Fukushima, so there's no chance of any evacuations around Tokyo, even if it means 5 million of them dying of cancer over the next 20/30 years (hypothetically speaking).

Go ahead and put me in the column of people who detest these types of irresponsible posts in elitetrader.com. Thanks.

I've found that if one puts enough people on ignore that whole sections of ET are blank... economics and politics will do that on me sometimes...

Well, if any city that size could have an orderly evacuation, it would be Tokyo.

I can't imagine the looting, flash mobs, chaos, etc in a major U.S. city trying to evacuate.

+1 if any city in the world can do it, Tokyo will be best prepared. There is no country like Japan and no people like Japanese people as far as things like 'order in society', 'respect,empathy and concern for others' and 'need to act in a unison way', 'putting country and society over oneself' is concerned. If anyone can do it, Japanese only can do it.

Just think of all the times they had to flee the city when a giant lizard came-a-stomping. They should be experts by now.
