The grout around those 36 railcars was engineered so they could one day be cut back out. If it were your call: haul them out, or leave the tomb sealed forever? Tell us below — somebody down there always knows more than the record shows. <br> <br>🚜 89 Bulldozers Abandoned After Hoover Dam: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5LhBXFAzVU">https://youtu.be/i5LhBXFAzVU </a><br>🌋 The Logging Fleet Still Buried Under Mount St. Helens: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6Pk7YWr46M">https://youtu.be/y6Pk7YWr46M </a><br>🚂 The Salton Sea Hides Dozens of Buried Trains: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWD9AVpidVA">https://youtu.be/eWD9AVpidVA </a><br> <br>Subscribe for the stories the industry remembers but never recorded: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@Machinery-Vault?sub_confirmation=1">https://www.youtube.com/@Machinery-Vault?sub_confirmation=1</a>

It's non stop and all around us. There was so many accident's that I'm surprised we're not getting huge medical problems 😳.. oh wait I almost forgot about the fact that we do get terrible medical issues. What with all the nuclear bombs that have polluted the plant and atmosphere. I mean take a geiger counter on a airplane ✈️ 30,000 ft up and turn it on and see that ur getting just as much radiation as if u took daily x-rays for a year straight. Possibly more... And let's not forget the down winders from all the tests done in Nevada. People used to have tailgate parties and watch the mushroom cloud's and the light from nuclear testing with most of the crap that came out of the place you speak of in this link. Great job by the way 👌👍 I must say.. Excellent details and spot on reporting... Eather way I know I couldn't possibly bring up all the huge mistakes and believe me I can get on my soap box and holler but I'd be wasting my breath and turning blue with examples of the legacies left to our children's children children 🙄. I'll say good night y'all. DRC. ;) Oh one more thing, let's not forget the WHIPP site in Carlsbad New Mexico. A salt mine full of nuclear waste brought there from who knows where... Just dump dump dump. But hay who needs good health anyway.. Sleep tight folk's 🧐....

The very real and sobering fact is this/ All of written mankinds history is 4-6 thousand years (not including cave drawing, written history) and we are dealing with stuff that will kill for 50 thousand years or more. There is no answer for the mess. There is no answer that mankind will be still in a organized written history in 20, 30 or 40 thousand years - we have gone from nomadic tribes to where we are at now in just 10 percent of the life of this killing radioactive material! 10 percent! Let that sink in, thnk of how far mankind as a whole has progressed in 4-6 thousand years, then think its only 10% of this nasty stuff. Where will mankind be in 20% of the life of this killing stuff, will we even be able to make the dangers clear in 4-6 thousand years, let alone 40 thousand to our ancestors...... Very sobering

I live fairly close to this disaster ground water is poisoned it seeping into the Columbia and everywhere else they don’t wanna talk about it but it’s there and it’s killing people I live in a small town really small town over half. The people are getting cancer up here at various types it’s gotta be from that.
