In Allah our hope."
Greg Fletcher commented on Ron Jacobs's blog post U.S. sending Global Hawk drone to Japan"Rory I think this is exactly what happened that caused the nuclear problem. They were afreaid of venting radioactive stuff out of the containment. When they finally had to prevent it from venting its' self, they used the 18" drywell…"
Rory Paul commented on Ron Jacobs's blog post U.S. sending Global Hawk drone to Japan"I get the feeling that the Japanese cultural trait to manage by consensus and committee will be working against them when dealing with a crisis of this nature that requires rapid decisions and tossing out of the operational manual."

Greg Fletcher commented on Ron Jacobs's blog post U.S. sending Global Hawk drone to Japan"The Global Hawk has been there for a while now, as well as a couple of manned U2's. I think the Hawk or one of the craft have radiation monitoring and sampling pods. We will not see the pictures because they are "classified". We…"

Jack Crossfire commented on Ron Jacobs's blog post U.S. sending Global Hawk drone to Japan"Our understanding is that in Japan, the culture against interfering in someone else's cleanup effort is a lot stricter than it is elsewhere.
