Reply to comment by HiggsBoson_ in Missouri school to close after radioactive waste report by KCPanther

Meteorologically, St. Louis has similar wind patterns as cities in Russia and Korea. We also have a lot of dense housing projects, similar to Russia. They were testing a Cold War weapon they were developing that caused health ailments for people while not destroying infrastructure.

Every year at school, several kids would die of leukaemia and sometimes cancers rarely seen in young people. I actually thought numerous deaths a year was normal.

This article is long but very good at explaining what was happening:

The land is fucked up and the amount of health problems isn't just cancer. I'm only in my 40's and so many other women I know have major infertility problems/ PCOS and/or female cancers starting in their teens and twenties. Even my mother had late stage uterine cancer at age 23. Starting menstruation at age 8-9 was not uncommon, I did and so did the other girls. It's tragic.
