Dear friends,
it has not been an easy decision, but today I have purchased four airline tickets to Europe for my family.
One line of defense after another against nuclear disaster has fallen. After the fire in Fukushima Daiichi #4 and the damage to #2, the increased release of radiation, the talk of a damaged containment and the detection of nuclear fission products as far away as Tokyo and Kanagawa I have lost all confidence in the ability of the people in charge to protect the Japanese population from harm.
In a few days we will be leaving Japan to seek safety with my brothers and parents in my home country until the situation here becomes clearer.

Hello Jeff, I’ll be in Germany from Friday, if all goes to plan.
Hallo Michel, bin ich froh wenn das ausgestanden ist. Es fuehlt sich an wie Tschernobyl, nur aus 250 km statt 1200 km Entfernung.
Hello John, thanks for the good wishes and offer!
We made it and arrived safely in Germany on Friday, 18 March 2011.
We’ll be keeping a close watch on developments in Japan to determine when it will be safe for us to return to Tokyo.
