On the 11th of March 2011, right after the Tsunami hit the Japanese coast and Fukushima started a meltdown, I spotted the Facebook status of Hirotsugu K. who asked the crowd for information about the dangerous situation he was in. People recommended him to leave the Fukushima area immediately. After I followed his escape on Facebook for 24 hours I joined the conversation. What happened next was a nine day long, breathtaking conversation with Hirotsugu K., a person I never met before in my life. I was his only European contact with information his government concealed. I remember my hands where shaking every time I got a new message from Hirotsugu on my mobile phone.
Now, one year later, I decided to post the full, unedited conversation.
