they evacuated the atoll - the "savages" were very understandable - they say they analised the weather conditions and everything is set, ok, let's go and try the h-bomb in the pacific! operation bravo is launched!
little detail: they evacuate the bikini atoll but don't evacuate two other islands very close to bikini. and oh wait! all of a sudden the winds change and they send all the radiation and fumes to these two islands!
so, this day in march the bomb explodes, they look all surprised because of the wind change and science starts marching towards knowledge! the villagers from these two small islands (circa 300 inhabitants) start walking on radioactive ashes, eat the fish which all of a sudden turns sour, the coconuts taste funny...a few days later some people show up with burns in their feet, their throat, the air starts to fall...and only months after do the USA send doctors there. the levels of radioactivity are incredible but they always say it's not that bad. the villagers receive no explanation and they slowly turn ill.
how convenient to know the effects of radiation on people, no? the story is so unbelieavable that it sounds fiction. but then you see the handicapped babies and the crying mothers who for three times in a row give birth to dead babies who look like monsters.
i think everyone should see this, is just incredible. a little radioactive paradise.
