Fukushima Mayor Was Told: "No Accident Could Ever Happen"; "Disaster Of All Humanity-Entire World"

Katsutaka Idogawa, Mayor of Futaba Town: On March 12, at the moment of Unit 1′s explosion still there were a lot of citizens in our town.

When debris fell from the sky I thought it might be the end.

Policemen, servicemen, medical workers and town’s employees… Many people were still there.

Everybody stopped talking for a moment:

Mr. Idogawa, Mayor of Futaba Town where Fukushima Daiichi is located, testified about the day of Unit 1's explosion.  Japanese government did not announce SPEEDI data, so Futaba's citizens evacuated to northwest where radiation drifted.  Many citizens of Futaba were exposed to radiation including children.  Senator Masako Mori severely questioned to Prime Minister Noda about Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant's accident.
福島第一原発を抱える双葉町の町長である井戸川氏は、１号機が爆発した日のことについ­て証言。日本政府がSPEEDIのデータを公表していなかった事から、双葉町民は放射­能が流れる方向と同じ北西方向に避難してしまい、子どもも含んだたくさんの町民が被曝­しました。国会にて森まさ子参議院議員は福島第一原発事故に関して野田首相の責任を厳­しく追求しました。
