TEPCO ~ Winging it w employees

Can you believe this?
People working inside the nuclear power plant eating rations of crackers & water, sleeping on floors, no showers. 
The US military is present-- they can airdrop a cargo container of meals & water at minimum. 
TEPCO is abusing the "heroes" risking their lives to avert nuclear disaster. 
Get the frickin' CEO to drive a bus or van to get these workers basic needs like good sleep & 3 meals a day & daily showers taken care of- not just a bus ride to showers on scheduled days off.

All of these provisions are available in nearby Tokyo. 

Having workers running on empty puts them more at risk.
I want the crews risking their lives to avert a nuclear reactor meltdown disaster to be well cared for-good sleep in a bad, food & showers should be the minimum of what is provided. 

TEPCO sure is running roughshod. Why are they still in charge?

  2. Looks like the Government is starting to take over & seeking more international help.
    Tokyo is still up & running for the most part.
    They should be making sure the needs of the workers in the reactors are being met.
    I was appalled they were eating meager rations, sleeping on the floor w no way to shower. Those circumstances alone are mental & physical torture.
    These workers are taking a huge risk of deadly exposure to be there.
    There is talk now of sending in robots to get readings in areas too dangerous to send humans in.

    Ugh!
