    I was stationed at Port Chicago, CA in the mid 1970s. There were still signs along roads and near piers that there were still unexploded bombs, shells in the waters and shorelines - not to mention the splintered remnants of blasted wharfs poking out of water.
  • regarding the EA Bryan Port Chicago explosion is a disgrace to this country and the US Military! the fact that it takes 50 years or more to exhonorate those men who refused to be blown up like the other segregated naval black men is shameful. that bomb scientists were more interested in the results of the aftermath and not the reason for it makes one believe it wasnt an accident.

    Nuclear weapons its amazing that so much power can come from something you can't see
  • All of them merely signs of man's curiosity mingled with man's insatiable appetite for power, which he cannot have and couldn't manage if he did. All of the nuclear fallout blown all over the world and lodged in every single living organism, the cost of all of this has been incalculable still.

    "the bloodiest 30 seconds in the history of armed conflict" Little Boy would like to know your location.
  • Why didn’t they drop anchor before it steamed into Halifax. It would’ve only taken a few minutes.
  • And you'd really think that we and Russia knowing there's no limits and size has become more compact we both don't have secret absolute earth ending bombs? Maybe just one, two or three! Your nuts if you say no way. Absolutely blind. The end.
