The Fukushima Fifty: Above And Beyond

[mrjarrell]

Here's the story of the Japanese guys who've accepted that they'll likely die in order to keep the reactors at Fukushima from melting down. Their family's know what the deal is with these brave souls. Doing something that most people wouldn't, for a greater good. They're resigned to their fate and accepting of it, with bravery.

Now that is heroism.

They have my prayers and respect.

Now that is heroism.

I agree... I heard some people saying that they're only doing this because the Japanese are so dedicated to their jobs.

I have to disagree with that remark. They're doing this because the Japanese are so dedicated to helping one another that these brave souls have realized that if they don't perform this job, surely many, many more will perish. They're sacrificing themselves to save many.

May these men and their families be blessed and honored in every way possible for their sacrifices.

Not sure if they are part of this list, but, the guys dropping sand and water via helicopter over the reactors and now the firefighters they have spraying water in from down below. All of these folks are teaching the world some very valuable lessons. Great Japanese hero's!
