Following up this article Fukushima chief steps down due to illness
Though they estimated about 15.7 meters height of Tsunami may have hit the Fukushima plants, former Fukushima chief Yoshida turned down the offer to reinforce the facility.
Mainstream media has been treating him like Bruce Willis in Armageddon, but he caused the disaster by himself.
In summary, in 2008 a working team estimated over 15 meters height of Tsunami may hit the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear complex and cause severe damage to the buildings as well as the back up power generators.
However, Yoshida, who was the chief of Nuclear facility management department until 6/2010, said such a tsunami can not come. It’s unrealistic.
Ignoring the warning of the team, he rejected reinforcing the plants.
Before the warning from this working team, Tepco only estimated 5.7 meters height of tsunami but the new warning mentioned 15.7 meters height of tsunami.
Tepco admits if Yoshida took the warning seriously, they would have been able to reinforce the facility and prepare manuals to train the workers.

もう日本メチャクチャなんで暴露したい。私の従兄弟は東電社員で原発作業現場にいる。欝気味だったが状況を吐露していきた。胸を押さえて倒れたのは吉田所長だけではなく続出している模様。大手マスコミは一切報道せず、吉田所長は隠ぺいしきれないとみて中途半端に発表。病名公表せず。火に油だな。
My cousin is Tepco staff, he works at Fukushima plants. He’s been depressed but recently confessed to me. Yoshida had a heart attack and so many other people had one too. Main stream media does never report it. About Yoshida, Tepco gave up concealing but they don’t announce the name of the disease. It makes people more suspicious. Now that Japan is mess up, I wanted to confess this.

倒れているのは吉田所長だけではないのに、そこを報道しないメディアは本当に隠ぺい体質だな、とも従兄弟（東電社員）は言っていた。現場からのリアルな声だ。
It’s not only Yoshida who had a heart attack, so many others had one. Main stream media is so deceptive to conceal the fact.
My cousin told me so. One real voice from ground zero.
