Workers Fukushima accident have expressed their anger after the death on Friday of one of them, blaming the lack of rescue services to come to the aid of injured.
One of them, who calls himself TS-san, got angry on the internet as soon as he learned of the death of his colleague at the nuclear plant site.
“This is unbearable, how many times will this have to happen?” He has written.
“What is most tragic, it is not as expensive as decommissioning, the work hardly advances, there is contaminated water, no, what is the most tragic, ” is that we do not try harder to save the lives of those who work there””he added.
A worker died Friday afternoon at Fukushima Daiichi after the fall of earth and concrete into the hole to a depth of two meters in which he was to build the foundations of a building.
“He was taken unconscious to hospital where his death was confirmed,” said Tepco.
But for TS-san and others, rescue vehicles that are supplied are insufficient. And they need to have the use of a medical helicopter.
During the accident on Friday, the wounded, in his fifties, was transported by ambulance to a hospital more than 40 miles from the secluded nuclear disaster plant. It took over an hour to drive to the facility where his death was then confirmed. It had then been over three hours since the accident.
“When this kind of fatal accident happens, what to say? Sadness, anger, depression “, as evidenced by Happy, a veteran who worked in Fukushima since before the tsunami of March 11, 2011.
Other workers deaths had occurred before, but not necessarily on the site and not because of issues related to their activity during this time.
Some 3,000 people from hundreds of companies working every day at the Fukushima Daiichi ravaged March 11, 2011 by a massive tsunami.
Working conditions are often harsh, especially because of the compulsory wearing of masks and suits and because of the deplorable state of the destroyed site.
