Rocky Flats

[Big Wall]

In '97 or '98 I worked as a tour bus driver. I got to take a bunch of Russian officials to visit Rocky Flats as part of a you show us your clean up attempts and we will show you ours kind of deal. I thought I would be sitting in the bus all day, but they asked for my id and after a quick background check I got to go along on the tour.

Interesting bits:

1 The worst of the mess was caused by Coors making porcelian there.

2 They paved a parking lot over an area of contaminated ground and had to buy everyone who parked there a new car.

3 Their cover story was that they were a Saran-Wrap factory. They even gave the employees Saran-Wrap coupons to hand out at Christmas time.

4 We suited up and toured one of the clean up areas. At one point the lady giving the tour said "I can't tell you what this is but if you use your imagination you can figure it out." It was the form for hydrolically pressing the outer cover for the warheads. We had to stand in a sensor when we left the area to make sure we weren't contaminated.

5 All of the signs in the clean up area were in both english and russian as part of the tour each other's sites agreement.

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.
