Thank you Shadows. There are other, less perilous, dangers that I think the Japanese will master or indeed not even witness. Looting; Thai people are known for their compassion and statistics prove that Thailand is a very safe country for tourists. But when poor people lose the few belongings they ever possessed, they tend to scavenge anything that will possibly help them survive. Immediate needs like medicines, clothing, food, clean water etc. are eagily gleaned. The Thai police are renown for their hard stance towards law breakers, but there is a huge humanitarian difference when a mother 'loots' powdered milk for her hungry baby or a father 'steals' canvas sheeting to conjure up a makeshift tent for his family. I never saw anyone running off with a t.v. set or p.c. etc. The Japanese will not suffer such petty theft as they are very well prepared and were forewarned. Disease; Again, Japan was on alert and the paramedics are among the best. I doubt if we will hear of rotting bodies and thankfully the temperatures are low, which will delay any decomposition. The list is of woes are endless and people in despair become radical as the situation worsens. I pray that Japan will overcome this nuclear plant disaster that threatens to take more lives, albeit in a less dramatic, but nethertheless, lethal way. God bless Japan and it's people.
