Reports are appearing about unrest and signs of a possible awakening of Mt Fuji volcano in Japan. According to a report which includes an unclear photo of the area, a row of new craters, the largest 50 m in diameter, has appeared on the eastern flank of the volcano at 2200 m elevation. Steam was observed erupting from these vents.

I think it an odd occurrence that these volcanoes are waking up and even erupting. I suspect that the earth under Japan may be a wee bit upset about them flushing all the fuel from Fukushima into the ground.
Call me a bad man but Japanese culture created the mess at Fukushima and the resulting fallout being seeing around the world. Karma is a tough mistress.
1707 eruption of Mt Fuji On 26th October 1707, a new eruption announced itself with a large 8.4 magnitude earthquake devastating Honshu island, followed by several smaller earthquakes felt near Mt Fuji. The eruption started on 16th December 1707 from a new vent on the SE flank of the volcano erupting a sub-plinian column of ash and pumice, turning into basaltic lava fountaining after 6 hours into the eruption. On the first day of the eruption, 72 houses and 3 Buddhist temples were destroyed in Subassiri town 10 km from the volcano. Ash fell all over the south Kanto plain, Tokyo, and on areas of the NW Pacific ocean 280 km from the volcano. The total volume erupted over 16 days was estimated to 0.68 cubic km of magma. Violent explosions were recorded until 25-27 December, before the eruption calmed down and ended on 1st January 1708.

i don't think japan created it, i think mankind created it and i'm fairly sure you have reaped the benefit of nuclear electric on many occasions yourself. be that as it may yes fukishima will go down as one of the worst disasters of all time. once you fully realize how much radioactive waste was and will for a long time, be released into the earth and water table.
