Re: DU counterweights on 767s





That is a very good question. I would think that radiation issues would be

pretty far down on the priority list (other than an initial rad survey for

a suspected WMD or dispersal device).



If you were paying attention to some of the background activities during

the news reports you would have glimpsed folks doing what looked like

radiation surveys...several folks here noticed the same thing. Anyone else

catch this?



It was reported here that the dust contained asbestos...I haven't heard any

other reports or confirmation of this. I would think that the most

significant concern would be first from physical hazards and second from

biohazards.

Just curious--- If these plane did have DU counterweights, of what

importance would that be given the overall nature of the catastrophe?
