The tsunami did serious damage. The actual fuck up was human error. Or at least amplified the damage done.

How so?

They wanted to salvage as much as possible (which isn't bad by itself), but AFAIK it wasn't possible by the degree they wanted.
The earthquake did no real damage, that was part of the design. The tsunami knocked out cooling, and the emergency generators (they blamed thst failure on being built too close to the sea).
They had to flood the reactor with sea water to cool it down, but that basically made some stuff unusable. Also, nobody wanted to admit the severity of the damage, so the owners told the people on site to keep on going without flooding the reactor,making things worse, and in the end leading to the actual meltdown. IIRC.
And chernobyl was a chain of unfortunate events coupled with parts being shut down for a test, amd a crapload of human mistake and maybe a bit of ignorance.
BenRG:
To me, I think that Renee was happy with the apartment too. She was just being cautious and hedging her bets. Was she being overly-cautious? Perhaps but I can well understand that when dealing with something as big as moving home (arguably one of the most stressful and psychologically traumatic experiences possible in life). I just hope that she isn't doing this now because she's basically too lazy to look for something better but because she genuinely does like the place!
Also: I love Brun in panel 2. She's still got a lot of kid in her, hasn't she?
Cat mortality note: My grandfather's cat was 30 when he died. Cantankerous hiss-generator that he was. I don't think that he liked me because I had my own cat's smell around me. Male cats don't tend to like each other's presence and I must have smelled a lot like one, given how my cat was hyper-tactile in showing affection!

Not unheard-of, but not at all common either. My vet tells me that a well-cared-for indoor cat can be expected to live about 12 years, and anything much longer is a gift; a whole lot of fatal things (kidney problems, cancer, heart problems) start showing up after that. My previous pair both lived to 12, and the pair before that to 17. I and a neighbor fed a "determined stray" who lived to 20.
