Wow, How did this get flagged and taken down off of YouTube for “inappropriate content”!? It got flagged yesterday. So did RedButtonStudio’s remix of the same video… but RumorECurioso still had it up safe and sound. I did a little editing from the original, but not much. I don’t know how to find out What “inappropriate content” WAS, nor Who Flagged it, but I have a pretty good idea.
Here’s the original

TEPCO official says Fukushima plant situation “out of control” […] A [Tepco] senior official […] said Friday that situation in the stricken plant was “out of control,” according to local media. The remark was made by Kazuhiko Yamashita, who holds the executive-level title of fellow, at a meeting with Japanese opposition lawmakers in the city of Koriyama in Fukushima prefecture, said Japan’s Kyodo News. His words came less than a week after Prime Minister Shinzo Abe assured the world at a meeting of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) at Argentina that the situation in the damaged nuclear plant is “under control.” …

Euronews, 9/13/13 A senior [Tepco] official…admitted that the situation there is “not under control”. However, within hours Tepco released a statement saying the official, Kazuhiko Yamashita, meant to say something different. His comments came in response to a question at a meeting with the opposition Democratic Party. The politician asked whether the company considered the situation at the plant to be under control. “I’m sorry, but we consider the situation is not under control,” came the reply from Yamashita. In its subsequent statement, Tepco said what the official meant to say was that there were continuous problems with storage tanks, and when radioactive water leaked out it remained in front of the plant….

Tritium rises in groundwater in Fukushima Daiichi
The operator of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant says that it found sharply rising tritium levels at a monitoring well near a wastewater storage tank.
Tokyo Electric Power Company says the level of radioactive tritium at one of the wells rose to 130,000 becquerels per liter on Thursday. That’s more than twice the government-set level for its release into the sea.
One of the storage tanks leaked more than 300 tons of highly radioactive water in August. The water is likely to have seeped into the soil.
The company has since increased the numbers of monitors to check the radioactive materials in groundwater near the tank.
The tritium level in the well was 64,000 becquerels per liter on Tuesday and rose to 97,000 becquerels on Wednesday. The well is located 20 meters north of the leaking tank.
Meanwhile, the tritium in another well on the southern side of the tank was 290 becquerels per liter. The level is declining slightly.
Officials say the rise was apparently caused by a leak from the tank last month, but they can’t exactly determine how that happened. They are also investigating past leaks from pipes connecting the tanks.
