RE: RE: Nuclear-powered spacecraft plan feared

["Langenegger, Armin" <alang@allsaintshealthcare.org>]

The first news report I heard warned everyone not to handle the debris

because the fuel used in the shuttle would have coated the debris and was

adsorbed through the skin and would bind to the alveoli in the lungs causing

breathing difficulties.



Some people did have breathing difficulties and some others did have burns,

and others I would assume were worried about the breathing issues.

	If 70 people went to the hospital there must have been some reason

for them

	to do so. It would be interesting to know if they were affected by

something

	in the debris, or were stressed due to the situation, or were

panicked

	because of rumor, or were setting the stage for future legal action.
