Chernobyl shield collapsing
Speaking at a news conference on 22 April, nearly 17 years after the explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant that turned out to be the worst such accident in history, Alexander Rumyantsev, Russia’s atomic energy minister, said he feared that the concrete sarcophagus erected immediately after the disaster to limit the amount of radiation escaping into the Ukraine and neighboring European countries is in danger of collapsing. "We can see a situation where the roof could fall in, or rather the supports that hold up the roof could fall down," he said.

Rumyantsev suggested that a new concrete barrier be built around the existing structure, which was put up hastily. "I know how the sarcophagus was built," said the energy minister. "It was built in difficult radioactive conditions for the builders. They had to work fast to get away from the danger." Many of the emergency and rescue workers who put out the fire, handled the cleanup, and erected the concrete shield died within weeks from exposure to radiation.

Rumyantsev is among the Russian government officials who continue to assert that the 1986 incident was not as bad as has been reported. Environmentalists and doctors put the number of radiation-related deaths in the thousands and the number affected in the millions, but the energy minister calls this an exaggeration. "When Greenpeace or other ecologists talk about a million victims, I am prepared to agree that a million people were scared. That was the main medical result of the disaster."

A soldier on patrol Friday who declined to let his name be published said the withdrawal from the Mukhaiyam mosque perplexed U.S. troops. They fought to win the mosque, losing three comrades. "It's hard for us to figure out why we took it in the first place if we were just going to let it go before finishing off Mookie," the soldier said, using the infantrymen's nickname for Sadr.

A dose of 500 roentgens within 5 hours is fatal to humans. Interestingly, it takes about 2 1/2 times that dosage to kill a chicken and over 100 times that to kill a cockroach

Isn't this comforting......

I was at the park with my kids for a picnic. I had no idea it was Mohammed's birthday at the time.

100's of Muslims in traditional garb showed up, played the call to prayer on radios and proceeded to pray.

I had no idea what was going on at the time.

I left with my kids and found out later that evening it was because of the birthday.
