[ RadSafe ] RE: Nuclear Detectives

[Sandy Perle]

Hi Barbara,

 

If it were only that simple. Airline crashes that kill 100 people will get
significantly more coverage than that number of people killed in a
automobile crashes in a local territorial area on a daily basis. Random
occurrences get a lot more attention than every day occurrences. Human
nature, and, the media know that. A single person killed in a nuclear plant
from anything to do with nuclear will get significantly more coverage.
Emotional issues sells papers and advertising time.

 

Not going to change, unfortunately.

 

Regards,

 

Sandy

I just had to comment on this article.

 

Perhaps we should be spending more on the things that kill people with a
little more frequency and reliability...I don't know...like illegal
handguns, and drunk drivers...instead of this nonsense.

 

I realize it keeps me employed, but honestly, could we focus on the serious
stuff, and not sweat the 1 death in 56 million last year that involved
radioactive material?
