[ RadSafe ] US sailors sue Japan's TEPCO for post-quake radiation exposure

[Perle, Sandy]

Steve, never heard of him. Just one of many "gold digging" attorneys. Not much different than the latest $100M lawsuit coming out of the tragic Sandy Hook event. Not surprised.

>> The plaintiffs include eight troops serving on the USS Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier - one of whom was pregnant at the time of the alleged exposure - and her daughter.
