Japan Reluctant To Disclose Drone Footage of Fukushima Plant

Posted by timothy on from the gudjilla-in-high-res-at-least dept.

garymortimer writes with word that "footage taken from an RQ-4 Global Hawk drone was passed on to the Japanese government with permission for public release from the US Air Force. US military sources said that the decision to release the footage — or not — was up to the Japanese government." The Japanese government, though, has thus far chosen not to release the high-resolution footage of the tsunami-damaged Fukushima nuclear plant.

    This is why we need the govt to keep funding PBS.

    Right--because somehow Sesame Street has a magical secret trick to get Japan to cough up the drone footage.
