政府のスピード感 - We already learned in Hanshin the speed was life

18時近くの政府及び原子力安全・保安院の記者会見は正直唖然とする無内容さだ。福島第一原発の1号炉で15時半頃に爆発があり、外壁と天井が飛んだことはNHKの報道映像で明らかでありながら、何らかの爆発があったという事実の確認だけで、それ以上の状況説明が何もできないという体たらく、情報を集めていると言うのみだった。特に保安院はより専門的な見地からの説明が求められても、役人根性の答弁しかできない。この2時間半かけて東電の発表を追随するだけでは、あまりにスピード感がなさ過ぎる。これは戦争同様の非常時で、正確な情報の共有は生命線だ。こんな連中に我々の命を預けられるだろうか？


The press announcement of the Government and also of Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency just before 18:00 was totally appalling. The nuclear power plant’s first reactor building in Fukushima blasted around 15:30, and it was apparent that the ceiling and the walls were gone according to NHK TV broadcast, but the announcement only confirmed the fact of explosion of “some sort” with no further explanation of the detail status, and only stressed that they were gathering various information. NISA in particular is expected to discuss technical views professionally but they behaved merely as bureaucrat. All this, if the result of past 2 hours and 30 minutes, definitely showed the lack of speediness. I think this is an emergency practically like in a war, and it is vital for us to share accurate information. Can we depend our lives on those slow-minds? [See this!]
