> I can't believe that an earthquake and tsunami that killed 20,000 people is called a "nuclear disaster"
It seems that you missed the part where a nuclear plant was destroyed by those same tsunami and earthquake. Everybody is talking about how to fix it since 2011, so it must be something big.
I think his point was that the tsunami killed 20000 people, and the nuclear power plant killed one, yet people talk about the nuclear power plant as if that was the only issue. This is kind of disrespectful to the actual victims.
Yes, I'm aware that some people will keep repeating this damage control PR stunt a thousand times, and that other naive people could even believe them and spread it, but it will still be false (and irrelevant).
Every time that we talk about Fukushima we have the but "almost nobody died" rabbit out of the hat again. We have yet discussed why this is false ten times and frankly I'm a little tired about this tactics of draining our energy making us to repeat obvious facts again and again until everybody quits the room.
