This WWI II deadly nuclear legacy is not at Hiroshima or Nagasaki. It's in the suburbs of St. Louis, Missouri. It has been shrouded for many years since tons of nuclear waste was mishandled starting as early as 1946 This has created a ticking time bomb as it continues to steadily spread into the air and water. It's not in the middle of nowhere but actually in the homes and properties of residents. It has been found in public parks too. There is no doubt where it originated from and the radioactive waste has never been properly contained. Thus it is no wonder many bad things have already happened culminating in many illnesses and deaths. This documentary will make one wonder why the government, and the EPA in particular, are stonewalling the residents who are fighting to have the waste removed and given proper buy-outs for relocation. Too many bad things are known and not even up for argument so why the lack of action? This situation isn't just a steady release of deadly radioactive nucleotides either as there is a potential for a catastrophic even greater release of radioactivity when a known unabated underground fire finally spreads to the area within the landfill of the nuclear waste dump materials. To summarize, this is a very deadly situation that left in it's present state will get much worse.
This film should shame the governmental powers that be into action as it is quite urgent and damning as to the lack of a safe solution. Will it? It may just depend on how many folks see this and are outraged. I believe this makes it worthy of your attention. Here's something quite curious...Bill Gates for all practical purposes is the owner of the landfill that is the source of this deadly nuclear contamination. He has positioned himself as the ultimate humanitarian for many underdeveloped nations and their ills. So why isn't he pressuring both his company and the government to take action? After all this is in his home country and his power and wealth could make the difference. Let us hope his humanitarianism extends to this very grave situation.
