8.9 Magnitude Earthquake Hits Japan + Tsunami and Alerts

"What They Are Doing Is Basically Using Squirt Guns Against a Raging Forest Fire" ... Japanese Should Use the Chernobyl Approach Instead

This is by far the worst analogy. The problem is not about the amount of water, it is about the radiation levels present at the site. Efforts to pump water are complicated by the inability to approach the site in the first place. And not ALL Japan has been doing is futile. Yes, the helicopter dropping was a bad idea and whoever came up with it should be ashamed, but we also had 11 firetrucks blasting 30 tonnes of seawater directly at the fuel ponds, we had a functional emergency cooling system, and one (or more? I've only read one) diesel generator that hopefully can keep those pineappleers submerged.

Either he was very ignorant to have made such a claim/comparison, or he was being quoted out of line.
