I just finished watching this on Netflix. \u00a0It’s called “The Days” which is based on true story of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. \u00a0It was very educational and very shocking to me. \u00a0I had absolutely no idea on what was happening at the Fukushima nuclear plant at that time. \u00a0Now I do. \u00a0Please watch it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Japan’s government put up an evacuation zone of 20KM from the nuclear plant. \u00a0American’s government issued a warning for 80KM. \u00a0They told Americans to defer travel to places like Tokyo, Chiba, and everything North of that.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

One of my friends sent me this chart of radiation exposure the day before I left for Fukushima and said “be very careful.” \u00a0I looked at the chart and told him “I wish you didn’t send me this.” \u00a0But at that time, there was no turning around. \u00a0It felt like we were driving right up into an invisible war zone. \u00a0It’s almost like preparing for death. \u00a0Before that particular trip, I remember giving my little Princess a hug like it could be our last one. \u00a0To her, it was just like another trip, but this one was different.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I failed my science class in high school but my teacher would have been very proud of me because this is real science. \u00a0As we approached Fukushima, things started to get real. \u00a0You can’t see, feel, taste, or smell radiation so it’s basically a silent killer. \u00a0Yes there was radiation in the air, but where and how much? \u00a0That depended on the weather and wind. \u00a0My dosimeter alarm went off a few times but we kept on going forward.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now we reach 25KM from the Fukushima nuclear plant and this is when you realize everything is real. \u00a0And we were very unprepared for this.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This is the “Do not enter” zone exactly 20KM from the nuclear plant. \u00a0They evacuated the whole area so it was like a ghost town. \u00a0This is where our first “We Are One” mission started. \u00a0A mission that changed my life forever…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
