jducoeur | Radiation Chart

The post from Something Positive was sufficiently well-received, so today let's take a look at XKCD's contribution to understanding the Japanese radiation situation. This post from a few days ago demonstrates, once again, that Randall is possibly the most prominent and clever thinker in modern data visualization, with a chart that quite literally puts things in elegant perspective. Worth a quick look, as an antidote to occasionally-fevered media hype about the current mess. (Thanks again to Aaron for the link...)
