I don't think it's our short attention span this time. I will say how I felt about this situation, and see if anyone agrees with me. When the Japanese couldn't get the radiation under control after the first week, I expected the rest of the world would say to them, "Get out of the way, we're taking control of this situation."

I think everyone wanted that to happen. But the editors of some MSNs told them to stop reporting on the issue and peoples minds forgot. Now to be fair i guess they did send some scientists. But lets be honest japan has only 1 oil field ,hardly enough to consider to much involvement,which is now a natural monument.

Production stopped in 1955, with the advent of cheap, imported oil. On November 28, 1980 the oil field was proclaimed a natural monument and protected cultural property by the Shizuoka Prefectural government, and was transformed into a public park.
