This video clip demonstrates yet again the reason why we in Ireland cannot believe the Irish government and certainly not the British government on their pronouncements about Sellafield .Thousands will die in Japan and this is a foretaste of what we in Ireland can expect. We can have an earthquake at anytime not as strong as the one in Japan perhaps but just enough to knock out all power going to the Sellafield death plant. Yes I hear you say there are no earthquakes in England .
