He Disobeyed Tokyo's Orders To Stop Japan From Disappearing

On March 11, 2011, a 9.0 magnitude earthquake triggered a tsunami that knocked out power at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant — and TEPCO had ignored a 2008 internal warning that this was possible. As three reactors melted down, a skeleton crew of workers known as the Fukushima Fifty stayed behind, operating in 400 millisieverts per hour of radiation with car batteries and fire hoses. Those men would later be treated like outcasts by their own country. This is their story. We'd like to thank Dr. Maxime Polleri for sharing his anthropological insights with us. https://www.maximepolleri.com/ Some made it. Many didn't. How To Survive digs into the real stories behind disasters, tragedies, and extreme moments, and the decisions that made all the difference. ───────────────────────────── JOIN THE COMMUNITY ───────────────────────────── 📲 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/howtosurviveshow/ 🎵 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@howtosurvive.show 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/howtosurvive.show/ ───────────────────────────── SUPPORT THE SHOW ───────────────────────────── 👕 Merch: https://shop.underknown.com/collections/how-to-survive ───────────────────────────── MORE FROM UNDERKNOWN ───────────────────────────── 🪐 What If – Science Hypotheticals: https://bit.ly/youtube-What-If 🧠 Aperture – Philosophy & Psychology: https://bit.ly/aperture-show ───────────────────────────── 📩 Brand partnerships & collaborations: [email protected] Produced by Underknown: https://underknown.com ───────────────────────────── Note: This video is not intended to be a substitute for professional advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
