I May Have Misspoke..

Or then again, maybe not.  There seems to be some confusion (still) regarding the identity of the Fukushima Mystery Man, who appeared on a live cam August 28th.  As I posted Tuesday, it seemed to be Enson Inoue, after he admitted to going up to the reactor site at Fukushima, but now, another man has come forward to claim credit.  Ex-SKF.  Excerpts:

Some of you may have read about and seen the video/screenshot of a mysterious worker who appeared in TEPCO's Livecam of Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant.

Well, he's gone semi-public with his email to a high ranking administration official on September 8, protesting the harsh working conditions for the workers, and he has posted his statement and photographs inside the plant on his website:

Mystery solved.  Maybe.  A poster replies to the Ex-SKF link with this..  "Anonymous said...



there is a second man said to be him - this one has a name...
when i posted the fuku1live-video at my youtube channel a few days later somebody commented:
‘the man in this video is an mma fighter, fix the link below and read the article
mmafighting.[com]/2011/09/04/enson-inoue-takes-covert-trip-to-fukushima-nuclear-power-plant/
he went there to feed stay dogs and volunteer in a hospital’
his name is Enson Inoue.
you will have to search this name there, as the page opens not directly.
i actually believe this is truehe is holding his arm horizontally for about 20 minutes, try yourself to do it longer than one ;-)"

He's right:  That's difficult, and requires A Lot of strength.  After watching some of Inoue's video diaries, he looks a little bigger (more muscular)than the man in the suit.  I'm not saying that it's not him, what I'm saying is that my opinion has shifted bact to "undecided."  Not that it really matters. 

Inoue got attention for his work and website, and this still unknown man got attention for his grievances regarding TEPCO's operational policies.  Looks like everything turned out great!  Except for that whole Fukushima thing, ya know..
