http://www.thejournalnews.com/newsroom/081402/14nukecrash.htmlThis article revealed several things, besides the rampant hysteria:
1. The differences in packaging are either not understood or deliberately distorted by the press and/or those who inform the press.
2. Why is "low level" in quotes? this is defined by regulation. Again, this is a nasty little (and I suspect deliberate) distorion, as in "well they are trying to tell us it's low level, but we know..."
3. The fact that there was no radioactive contamination is downplayed -- middle of the article -- "same as in the manifest" without saying what that was.
