Visiting Fukushima 13 Years After Earth’s WORST Disaster
You probably know that Fukushima in Japan was the site of a terrible disaster in 2011 — but what’s it like there now? Maybe you’ve heard of much-publicized problems like radiation, nuclear waste, and depopulation, but could there be more to Fukushima than what you see in the media? Well, I visited Japan to find out and as I explored the former exclusion zone towns of Futaba and Namie (Ukedo), what I found was truly surprising.

I have to admit that, as much as I love your flight reviews, I've been really enjoying the "alternative" paths you've been taking with the channel. The content remains quite interesting and even more informative. It's always a pleasure to watch.
As always, thank you very much for sharing your wonderful experiences with us. I can only imagine how much time, creativity and dedication you have been putting into capturing images, thinking of the best narratives and editing, all of this to post a coherent video that stands out, amidst so much questionable, ordinary stuff that permeates YouTube.
You're amazing! God bless you!
Over 13 years later and still no radiation deaths or injuries.
