"Here's an interesting story from about 50 years ago about a another kid who tried to do this on his own."

Sorry, I was wrong about the date; it happened 1994. The kid's name was David Hahn and he lived near Detroit.

You would think he would have died from radioactive poisoning. Nope.

"Hahn died on September 27, 2016. He was 39 years old. Hahn died in his hometown of Shelby Charter Township, Michigan. His death was accidental and due to intoxication from the combined effects of alcohol, diphenhydramine, and fentanyl."
