Re: Fascinating

Thanks for sharing that Flathead. It really sets to mind how bad radiation is. Maybe people should see these pictures and then realize what a terrible threat it is about the dirty bombs that the terrorists want to use. Scares the crap out of me.

That is unreal when you stop to think about it, but it also shows how dangerous this stuff really is.<br />Great read for sure and real nice pics.

I remember seeing and reading about it.<br />Also read an article awhile back that people still eat contaminated bread made from the Russian wheat fields that were in the area.<br /><br />And what a coincidence that a married couple that I know diagnosed with cancer at the same time just passed away last week four days apart from each other. They lived in Russia for a couple of years.

That story became real close to being Harrisberg Pennsylvania. Thanks for sharing that. Kind of spooky

Re: Fascinating

Three Mile Island was an ants butt away from a similar result. A dirty bomb here won’t kill nearly as many people but will have an economical impact far greater than what Russia could ever have experienced. Best guess puts the US subject to England and the EU … and vulnerable to the nukes China has pointed at L.A., Chicago, Washington State, Colorado and NY.<br /><br />It is no longer a question of IF … it is a question of WHEN and WHERE.<br /><br />All retired military intelligence people agree it will happen. Disagreement on when…general consensus put it 12-years out…that was 4-years ago. Timeline is being moved up. China is now buying scrap steel form the US at a rate that exceeds Japan’s purchase of scrap steel prior to WWII. China is buying darn near all of the US scrap steel to develop her infrastructure and communications. What part of “history repeats itself” is lost on the driver?<br /><br />Thank you Pres. Clinton, Sen. Diane Feinstein, and Berny Schwartz (Chair of Loral Space and Comm) for helping China secure the technology needed to get those nukes from her to their targets in the US. It wouldn’t have been possible without you!
