@blogdiva Tintin in the Congo was omitted from the books available in the English editions available when I was a kid for very obvious reasons. Strange to find this just lying around in a waiting room somewhere. Like, that Seinfeld episode with Jerry finding a Penthouse magazine in his dentist’s waiting room weird.

The Fukushima disaster, in which 23,000 people died, was one of the most consequential events I covered.@cstross @newsguyusa Estimates are that the increased cancers caused if people had stayed in place would have been about 1500, so overall mortality would probably have been lower if people had sheltered in place, but it was considered the best course of action in the moment to evacuate half a million people: https://cancerhistoryproject.com/article/the-fukushima-daiichi-nuclear-accident-10-years-later/

The Fukushima disaster, in which 23,000 people died, was one of the most consequential events I covered.@cstross @newsguyusa That's not correct. The deaths counted are from the evacuation, not the earthquake/tsunami. They didn't die from falling concrete or drowning. They were largely people who were old or had health conditions who were subjected to stress during the evacuation from the fallout area: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukushima_nuclear_accident_casualties
