The #Atomic Bowl: Football at Ground Zero -- And #Nuclear Peril Today

The U.S. all-star football game in the atomic ruins of Nagasaki--and why it matters today (53m 6s)

"The second atomic bomb blast over #Nagasaki in August 1945 has become known as 'the forgotten bomb.' Less than five months later, the U.S. military staged an all-star football game on a killing field in #Nagasaki, amid lingering radiation levels.. Why was the game played there? And why does the Nagasaki bombing provide so many lessons and warnings for us today as nuclear dangers proliferate?"

Available for viewing in the US until July 12, 2026.

A creek with #AtomicWaste from WWII is linked to increased #cancer risk

By Ronnie Cohen, July 21, 2025

Excerpt: "Children who lived near a #SaintLouis creek polluted with #radioactive #AtomicBomb waste from the 1940s through the 1960s were more likely to be diagnosed with cancer over their lifetimes than children who lived farther from the waterway, a new study has found.

"The findings, published in JAMA Network Open, corroborate worries that neighbors of #ColdwaterCreek have long held about the #MissouriRiver tributary where generations of children played.

" 'We actually saw something quite dramatic, not only elevated risk of cancer, but one that increased steadily in a sort of dose-response manner the closer the childhood residents got to Coldwater Creek,' said the study's senior author, Marc Weisskopf, an epidemiology professor at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

"As part of the Manhattan Project, #MallinckrodtChemicalWorks processed uranium in St. Louis for the development of an atomic bomb. By the mid-1940s, according to historians, the company began to haul its radioactive waste north of the city, leaving it in open steel drums, unattended and exposed to the elements, next to Coldwater Creek."

In my opinion, this video describes a scenario that we all should be worried about right now. With chaos possible in Iran, who will ensure its highly enriched uranium does not fall into the hands of rogue actors?

Nuke-like Explosion: US Reveals New Details Of China's Secret Tests

" New evidence suggests it really could have been.

In early February, the U.S. accused China of Beijing's June 2020 nuclear test underground. Now there's new data that says it could indeed have been. "
