This thing smashed into Johnson Atoll a few days ago, but there aren't supposed to be any humans there now. Johnson Atoll is for sale, but it may be in bad shape now.

Wake Island:


Johnson Atoll doesn't even have a caretaker these days? I think they stopped incinerating chemical weapons there a few years back. They used to launch missiles from there many decades ago. I wonder if the launch facilities are still intact.

Johnston Atoll...Johnston, the main island, is 1000 yards long and 200 yards wide. The deed will contain use restrictions because the atoll was used by the Defense Department for storage of chemical munitions and as a missile test site in the 1950's and 60's. The island can be used as a residence or vacation getaway but it does not have utilities or a water supply. The airstrip and the golf course are closed.

Sounds like a great place to live! Why don't we send Ahmadinejad? He's into missile testing.

" Johnson Atoll is for sale,"

Nothing like a former nerve gas inceneration site to stigmatize a property.
