Warning – Radioactive Montrose – Uranium?
I was riding my bike downtown today and stopped at a light. Traffic flowed by and to my surprise, a large truck, an 18 wheeler-type truck, with a tarp pulled over the top also drove by. In horror, I realized that it had radioactive stickers all over it. I was standing outside, in the open air, perpendicular to the intersection, and wished I would have held my breath or something, because to have a truck and it’s radioactive contents bounce by, was really unsettling. Where did it come from and where is it going? Why did it, and all its radio active dust and contents drive past me – on Main Street?
We currently understand that high rates of lethal cancer are related to varying levels of radioactivity. So why is this dusty, lumbering truck with radioactive contents covered by a tarp, flowing by with the rest of traffic? It’s my understanding that a tarp does not protect people from breathing radioactive dust, nor does it block radioactivity. It’s summertime and windows are open, babies are in strollers and in the back seats of cars, other pedestrians are walking on the sidewalk, there are eating establishments with their doors open, and I am standing with my mouth open in surprise, looking at a truck with numerous radioactive stickers posted all over it, lumbering down Main Street. Sorry for saying this in a blog post, but really, WTF?
How long has this been going on? Where is it coming from, and where is it going? Why on earth is a radioactive truck going down Main Street in Montrose? Does anyone know?
