Nice.

As he gives the interview with a phone in hand, warming up something on the microwave, all while cruising at an altitude of 35,000 ft.

Sounds like he's been listening to glorified news media instead of the facts. How radiating.

According to these levels, give me a plane ticket and a ride and I would have no issue going. Suzuka is fine, it's well away.

It's unclear just how bad this is going to be, any nuclear accident is bad that's for sure. It's different than Chernobyl though. Chernobyl blew their reactor all over the countryside. This never happened in Japan, they blew up the top of the buildings, not the vessels. The reactor vessel is completely different, it didn't explode the fuel all over the countryside like Chernobyl. The fuel melt and vessel integrity needs to be examined first.

What was the word used... it wasn't a melt down, it was a melt through?? It was melting through the concrete into the ground, or something?

They melted the fuel for sure that's a melt down no matter what they say and they think they may have a vessel leak on 3 because some workers stepped in water that was incredibly highly radiated.

TMI melted a ton of fuel as well.

Seems like there's no good way to judge what's really going on down there until you either do or don't get cancer in a few years. Fuck that, I wouldn't go either.

I think he's afraid the radiation will shrink him.

Too late.
