Somehow, though, <b>we managed to survive</b>. I suspect that, in the unlikely event of a complete meltdown at the Japanese nuclear power plant, the result will be nowhere near as dire as the media would have us believe.<br /><br />I recall that Michael Crichton once wanted to write a novel on a planetary disaster, and thought that the Chernobyl accident would make a good basis for the novel. <a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7819184350661384634#" rel="nofollow">Upon investigating</a>, he learned that the total number of deaths (immediate and long-term) was estimated to be less than 4,000. Compare this number to CNNs initial estimate of the number of long-term deaths: 3.5 million!<br /><br />The media is simply trying to attract viewers/readers by instilling fear in as many people as possible.Henryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15569206003851743608noreply@blogger.com
