Thread Name: BS: Do you live near a nuclear plant?
Subject: RE: BS: Do you live near a nuclear plant?
Ok, that is a seriously freaky website. I'm sittiing here imagining what it would be like to suddenly have to just drop everything and leave my home, never to return. The author's comment about people being driven away with a military vehicle and marched through some kind of shower made me think of the Holocaust victims... how did these people know the same thing wasn't happening to them? Would anyone think that the nuclear reactor had been detonated purposely? Or is my boss right, and I have a way too active imagination.

I should know more about these events... Chernobyl and TMI. TMI is a few hours' drive from here - it seems like a long way, but I guess it really isn't. I remember when that disaster happened, a neighbor of ours signed on to go to work repairing the reactor, and the rest of us used to tease him about glowing in the dark. Like it was funny. Gallows humor, I think.

I think I'm going to do some research now.
