One foot of snow in Arizona? And radioactivity?

This link covers the weather anomoly. But is most interesting is the Radioactive material in a lost semi that has been posted quietly at the bottom of the artical.

Truck with radioactive materials missing

A pickup truck carrying radioactive materials used in pipeline scanning equipment was swept from a bridge and disappeared in a swollen creek in Oklahoma's Pittsburg County, said Undersheriff Richard Sexton.

The truck's two occupants escaped unharmed, but efforts to locate the truck and its radioactive cargo were suspended after dark. He said officials hope the creek's level will fall enough on Monday to reveal the truck's whereabouts. A container with the material is bolted to the truck.

Uh, find that truck please.

Good find.

But the part about the truck with radiocative materials has been deleted. ...Or was it in another article?

Holy Cow! It was deleted. It was part of this artical a week ago. Very suspect.

I love the Net.

...But it is SO easy to censor.

Is there no where else this was reported? Anywhere else this could be found, like a local media source?

Good find!

CNN is suppost to be the unvarnished truth is it not. This should be a lead story not something that disappears.

Well CNN is also trying to provoke americans into thinking that war with Iran is a must and that we should go to war to lower price of oil. In effort to collapse Iran's economy. Also states that atomic material availble on the black market is 3.5 ounces of weapons grade petlioum (sp) and that it is enough to make a nuclear bomb. Alqueda and Iran are the most likely suspects for wanting to buy this material. Idk about CNN anymore...... o wait matthew bunn just stated that you cant make a bomb out of it so just disinfo from the CNN news person.

Anybody in on here from Arizona that has heard of this story?

Technically, it depends what sort of bomb you want to make with a radioactive isotope. If you are trying to make a nuclear bomb, you need a certain amount (don't remember it exactly), in order to do so. However if you have less material it's possible to make a "dirty" bomb that will spread radioactivity over a large area with just a small amount of explosive. It could, if the wind was blowing in he right direction, result in a large amount of Manhattan Island being sealed off (for example).

So basically it depends on whether you want destruction or disruption. The "dirty" bomb is more likely to work.

Truck carrying radioactive materials is found in creek

A pickup truck carrying radioactive materials that was swept into Coal Creek in Pittsburg County has been found.

Undersheriff Richard Sexton says the truck is about a quarter mile downstream from where it was swept away Sunday and officials are waiting for waters to recede so they can get it out.
