Default Chernobyl nuclear accident Video.

Watch this video. You will not only educate your self on how horrible things can be if nuclear war was to ever happen but also on how lucky we are to be healthy.

I still remmember when my grandmother and grandfather told me how they had to close and tape the windows up when the soviet union announced what has happened. That was in Saint Petersburg!! The year I was born. Thank god the wind was blowing in oposite direction.

I was in shock when I moved to Arizona that the majority of people I work with don't know what it is, and the ones that do.... simply don't know how serrious this is. Back on the East Coast people seemed to be fairly educated on this compare to WC.

Am I so old that I actually know why this is? Yeesh!

Trust me, it's not that people on the West Coast aren't educated. . . it's just you're talking to the wrong age demographic. . .

. . . that, and well, check the map:

I can see the steam from the stacks of the largest nuclear generating station in the US on cold mornings from my house. Makes you think...
