Re: Atomic Train Farce



 It is
the media participation in a not real scenario that bugs me the
most. For they truly believe that these scenarios can happen.

Sandy, if that is the case, then I agree with you 100%.

Jim,

I agree with some of your comments. I do disagree with the basis
for the worse case scenario, when the worse case is not plausible,
whatsoever. I also have a problem when the not so real worse case
scenario IS not only played out internally, to test technical basis,
worker skills and communication, but also includes the media. It is
the media participation in a not real scenario that bugs me the
most. For they truly believe that these scenarios can happen.
