Maybe. OR maybe the lack of confirmed reports from people actually living in the area points to this not actually being the incident a few alarmist websites are claiming.

NOTHING i've said implies that this being reported on the "MSM' means it is or isnt real. I said NOTHING about the 'mainstream media'/
Ha i did actually states was that IF this were real, there would be FAR more than a few unverified reports on a ad-heavy blog. There would be TONS of posts from all over the area
Too many people on ATS scramble to believe the most hysterical, outrageous story's out there and REJECT everything that contradicts it. That is not eying ignorance. It's embracing it.

Other states are high including North Dakota where this drill initiated.edit on 6/9/2012 by sad_eyed_lady because: (no reason given)

I think it should be noted that if officials at a nuclear plant didn't lie about (or downsize) the size of a nuclear leak, that would probably be the first time in history.
When you# up at a nuclear plant, you lie about it. Look at Fukushima. At the very least, you half-lie. This is your job. You work for a publicly traded power co. that has thousands of shareholders. The board is full of old-ass tycoons who tell you to paint a pretty picture.
All of a sudden, your brain considers that you may have contributed to endangering the entire community. Selection bias, rationalization, and other psychological influences take over (especially in the type A upper mgmt.)
All is well. The situation is under control.
Here in Los Angeles, there's a bright orange glow on the horizon that's dissipating. I've been seeing it every day about this time and it's quite similar to one that appears on the OPPOSITE horizon about twelve hours later. I'm out of potassium iodide, so I'm drinking pen ink at this point, just in case.

There is where we differ...I don't see them believing anything.
I see them questioning as they should and looking for answers and truth. I think it is a worthwhile thing... and when there are threads based on nothing they will quickly die, this is a culling process that works well if people will stop saying the process should not even start.
Some actually try to intimidate people into not having their thoughts aired at all. I don't see why those particular people (not meaning yourself) do not just leave peoples discussions to those that wish to discuss!
We are not all extremely intelligent or have a lot of information on given subjects but we all deserve to ask our questions, have our ideas put out there and contemplate the unknown or even unknowable as we see fit.

I agree. You ask questions. You HAVE to. You put out theories and you talk about off the wall things because truth is stranger than fiction and the further out you cast your line, the more likely you are to find something new.
This is not a " hard news" site. It's a discussion board. It's supposed to be full of opinions and ideas and unverified facts. Some things, and ususally the most important things, will NEVER be verified. That's why they're, um, ABOVE TOP SECRET. If any of this craziness was admitted or verified in a mainstream way, we wouldn't need to be trying to root it out. And....*laughing*.....that would most likely mean it wasn't true.
I'm sick of the Empirical Evidence Squad running in and demanding pictures?!links?! for every opinion or theory someone has and if you can't provide it, mocking and belittling people. Did Art Bell laugh in people's faces for entertaining the possibilities? Does George Noory? No, they offer a place to chat and consider. So does ATS. If you want to mock, form your own board. This is a place for dreamers and insomniacs, paranoids, weirdos, and seekers. We get enough mocking from the outside, mainstream, narrow-minded world, this place is supposed to be sanctuary from tourists who think it's fun or funny to belittle that which they don't understand. You have a whole outside world that is yours, leave our places alone.
And I think the OP of this thread is infinitely excellent.

And I'M tired of the 'I'll believe any crap posted on an ad-heavy crap blog that affirms what I have already chosen to believe as true ven if it has NO EVIDENCE and contradicts itself several times" posse.
But that's because I'm a fan of facts, not blind, ignorant conjecture that wallows in lies.edit on 9-6-2012 by stanguilles7 because: (no reason given)
