Tepco President Meets With Angry Fukushima Evacuees (video)

Tokyo Electric Power Company President Masataka Shimizu visited a shelter yesterday to meet with former residents of Namie, a town that had been evacuated because of its proximity to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. The visit was much like Shimizu’s previous visit to a shelter, with angry evacuees criticizing Tepco’s handling of the crisis and demanding action to back up apologies:

The clip begins with one evacuee loudly demanding that Shimizu get down on the ground and apologize. Shimizu gets down on his knees and apologizes, but the bow isn’t quite the low “dogeza” that the evacuee demanded. A woman standing before him denounces the lateness of his visit and says that people are frustrated about the nuclear accident delaying the search for missing people in the area.

At another part of the report, Shimizu kneels before about 200 evacuees as they vent their anger and frustration. One woman demands that Shimizu live in an evacuation shelter so that he can understand how the evacuees are feeling. A man, who is annoyed about hearing how the disaster was unanticipated, demands that Shimizu admit that Tepco lied to residents when it originally told them that nuclear power was safe. Another woman is frustrated by the lack of compensation that evacuees have received, saying that it is probably is less than Shimizu and his fellow corporate bigwigs spend when they go out drinking. Shimizu apparently did not give them more than the standard “I’m sorry” and “we’re working on it” responses.

He didn't feel obligated to commit suicide?

Japan is going downhill.

All I could see was a mob of Americans doing that to some GOP whackjobs!

I think putting them in the stocks would work too.
