There is no denying we are stupid ....


It's simple, they say it indirectly, the sea is at more than 25 ° C, even now almost in November, which allows to maintain the cyclone which goes up at random !!

And this had happened in 1938, and the warming of the earth with that of the sea, hot even in almost November, will favor the frequency of cyclones towards the north.

As for Fukushimerde:

Hoax or reality? They move the loaves or what?


it is not a priori hoax, I intersected a lot of information indicating substantially the same things. The pool is 30m high (10 floors : Shock: ) contains nothing but a cumulative mass of 1300 tonnes of water and fuel in equilibrium on a cracked structure in a country highly subject to earthquakes. if it all comes down, the consequences are estimated to be about 10 times Chernobyl. : Shock:


wow, yes, that's super worrying!

After research, it is a gas power station:

Ouffffffff


At least five people died and 12 were injured in a powerful explosion that occurred Sunday in a gas-fired power plant about to be commissioned in Middletown, Connecticut (northeastern United States) .

Not a terrorist act

The explosion, which took place 11:25 a.m. (16:25 p.m. KST) and was felt for about XNUMX kilometers around, occurred during a test of a gas line, said Middletown mayor Sebastian Giuliano, excluding any terrorist act.

The fire captain, who was speaking at his side, said he did not know how many more people might still be under the rubble of the factory. In the first hours after the explosion, rescuers "thought 50 employees were" on site, he said.

Assessment of up to 50 deaths

“Between 100 and 200 people can work anywhere on the site every day,” said the city councilor, admitting that it was impossible immediately to know how many employees were present during the accident.

Previously, a spokesperson for a local hospital had reported tolls of up to 50 dead in this plant at the "Kleen Energy" site, located about 170 km from New York. "The (advanced) assessments vary, from a few deaths to 50 deaths," said Brian Albert, spokesperson for Middlesex hospital in the city of Middletown, where several of the injured are being treated.

A power station with a power of 620 megawatts

A crisis center was opened immediately to coordinate information and the organization of relief. About XNUMX ambulances had been dispatched to the scene and helicopters were helping transport the wounded to hospitals in the region.

The facility that exploded is a gas-fired power plant with a power of 620 megawatts, which was due to come into service soon. A company, Energy Investors Funds, had recently acquired 80% of the “Kleen Energy” plant. Located at the exit of Middletown, a city of 43.000 inhabitants located on the edge of the Connecticut River, the power plant is close to homes.

Explosion (in video opposite)

An explosion at a power station on 14th Street left 230.000 people in the dark in the lower half of Manhattan. In total, nearly 500.000 people had to spend the night without electricity in the city of 8,2 million inhabitants, according to distributor Con Edison. Its vice president John Miksad clarified that it would probably take 3 to 4 days, and maybe up to a week, for electricity to be restored everywhere. "Nobody predicted a tide of 4 meters high," he said.

The New York University hospital had to evacuate its patients, for lack of electricity (> see in the video: 1st images).
