2. The failsafes were placed along the shoreline...where the tsunami blew them away

There's two. You're welcome.
You people were nuts over Fukushima and claimed THESE THINGS ARENT SAFE. And thus demonstrated that vaunted PA knowledge of "science", which is...

...not knowing the difference between "science" and a Pop Tart.

Long on accusations aren't you?

That was Tim Walz last night. Please catch up on the news.
