The Worst Nuclear Disaster in US History That You’ve Never Heard About
The United States government deliberately hid “the worst nuclear disaster in U.S. history,” according to experts and an in-depth investigation by NBC4 Southern
California. Whistleblowers have also come forward to expose the
little-known catastrophe, which occurred north of Los Angeles in 1959
and leaked over 300 times the allowable amount of radiation into
surrounding neighborhoods. That contamination is now linked to up to a
60% increase in cancer in the area, but the government still refuses to
acknowledge its colossal mistake.
The ongoing tragedy was driven by America’s darkest demons, from
dogmatic militarism to aggressive corporatism, and ongoing government
and corporate efforts to cover-up the disaster are nothing short of
staggering.
