Flashermac Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 A few years ago, a couple of Thai scavengers some how managed to get their hands on some live 155 mm artillery shells. The idiots tried to remove the detonator from a shell with a hammer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pom Michael Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Remember the stolen radioactive scrap material? That was back in 1995 or 1996 I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Later than that, I think. How many died because of it -- 4 or so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shygye Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 That was Brazil, right? Cesium from a discarded medical equipment. Kids were rubbing the glittery metallic powder all over their body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 I'm thinking of this one: "In February 2000 three scrap yard workers in Thailand died after breaking open an abandoned radiotherapy device and receiving fatal radiation doses from a Cobalt 60 source. Two others were injured." http://greenyes.grrn.org/2001/08/msg00003.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
