Description

"Persons in fallout path were a small sacrifice."

Life can be a Russian roulette... Not necessarily in Chernobyl, Fyshtym or Sosnovy Bor.

1951-1963, RESIDENTS' REACTION TO THE NUCLEAR TESTS HELD AT NEVADA TEST SITE, U.S.A.

Martha B. Laird's husband and son developed leukemia. Son died. Other children developed rashes. Sister reported burns to the eyes.

"During this time, our cows got white spots on them and developed cancer eyes," Mrs. Laird wrote to the Government. And she says, "One letter came back saying I was Communistically inspired..." Another said: "Persons in fallout path were a small sacrifice." (Source: The Herald. -Tuesday 24th April, 1979)
