FUKUSHIMA: THE SEAWALL WAS 19 FEET
Episode 164 | Historical Events
In this History episode we focus on the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster — the magnitude 9.0 earthquake, the tsunami that exceeded TEPCO's seawall by more than double, the three reactor meltdowns that followed, and why the official investigation concluded the disaster was fundamentally man-made despite being triggered by a natural event.
The earthquake was 9.0. The tsunami was 40 feet. The seawall was 19 feet. The rest followed.
