Rocky Flats

[BushMasterBoy]

FBI raided the place after much illegal activity. The place is contaminated with plutonium. Same stuff that killed my dad at Johnston Atoll. Don't worry all the radioactivity will die down in 56,000 years. Not sure I would eat any wildlife that visited the area either.

I can't confirm this but, I met a guy once who said that he worked at Rocky Flats. He said that he was watching a tv show about biological weapons. He said all of a sudden a picture of him came on and he was bottling up biological weapons. He said that he had no idea what he was doing when he worked there.

That could have been just a generic picture or clip of him that they edited from
a diffrent video. The war scream on Gladiator in the beginning is actually the
war scream from Zulu as a reference.

My father took a couple of tours of the place back in it's heyday. He was an engineer who worked on high level and low level nuclear waste disposal. He turned out fine, and I can crawl up walls!

My father does something similar still and he was invovled in the clean up of the site. He won't go into much detail but he has a very offical letter stating he had been exposed to radiation at one point. I will try to find it, it was somewhat amussing how blasé they were about it.

Geez, I've read up on it more, and there was a Plutonium fire that almost turned Denver into a Chernobyl!

I drive down Indiana from 128th to where it dead ends (64th I think) every day to get to work. It looks like houses are going up over where the plant used to be.

Didn't that site have a pond around it too? I remember that the DOW used to let people fish on it, but that was years ago.

New a guy who was fairly high up in the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Quit that to work for a "clean up" contractor. Made a fortune.
