equal long term loss of affected areas.....

Long Term Loss means this is NOT ACCEPTABLE

Can we name an incident where Humans are not available to look after 10 of these things 50 of them...

all right, ... 240 of them....and for how long???>

See what I mean??? its the long term effects.....there is no way to prevent a disaster eliminating

all humans from the sites.....

our govt had better prepare for the the worst...if not...we gonna pay a terrible price...
