This Concrete Dome Holds A Leaking Toxic Timebomb | Foreign Correspondent

the worst part is that these islands are beautiful and they never asked for this

I was there in 1971 before they started the clean up. We delivered supplies to guys that were stationed there for a loran station. They only lasted about six months before becoming deathly sick and taken to Hawaii medical hospital to die. We spent three days on the island and was never told it was hot. Only the brass knew and they never came out of their quarters. At night time there wasn't any stars visible because of the green glow of the ocean. At night time you could feel like you were getting a sun burn. I have aged 30 years from that experience above my age at 68. Bone pain is nothing to laugh about. All of your nerves are effected by arthritis. After that I was sent up the quangtri river were agent orange settled into the river. It floats on top of the water. Now I have hischemic heart disease to boot. Join the military and become a patriot. Right.

I'm nearly 29 and just knoe finding this out. I never knew the marshall islands existed, along with this dome. As an American, I'm disgusted at the blatant negligence. my heart goes out to the people affected.

My father was stationed there in the 1950's during his time in the navy and had to bear witness to the atomic bomb testing. GI Guinea pigs. For that, he was immediately sickened and died young, as did my oldest brother. The U.S. government lied to him too. He always felt bad about what the government did to the Marshallese.

“The wind failed to follow the prediction.” Those words anger me.

'the wind failed to follow their predictions'. Arrogance level: 1,000,000

I was moved to tears twice during this documentary, both times listening to Kathy talk so bravely and eloquently about her battle to save her home for her children. The effects of climate change on these peoples home is a crime against humanity, an absolute tragedy. Sadly, those responsible will never know nor care about these people.

My dad was stationed at Enewetak for operation teapot back then. As of 2022, he is 97 years old and still kicking. 90% deaf from ordinance explosions & being around jets for 28 years; 75% blind from glaucoma but still here nonetheless. I guess he is one of the lucky ones.

just amazes me how millions of dollars from anywhere can be spent on destruction of the world. but no one wants to spend the money on creating a better place.

The older I get the more I learn just how little I know about what goes on in this world, we are on this planet floating around space all alone and yet we seem destined to wipe ourselves out of existence for what, a moment of glory and domination over others.

The documentary was excellent. As a US Navy service member I was in the Marshall Islands aboard USS Pearl Harbor in 2013 and had no idea about these injustices to both the Marshallese people and my Army brothers. 😢😢😢😢

I grew up in the Marshalls and learned all this years later It's a shame what government has done and what will be done

The island called bikini makes me think that’s why they named spongebobs house bikini bottom they’re all mutated radioactive creatures

'The wind failed to follow the predictions'... LOL, how about 'we messed up the predictions and we are fully responsible for radioactive dust falling on people'???

I watched a PBS show about a team of scientist that visited a island that was right in the center of some of the largest nuclear explosions in the pacific and they were surprised how low the the radiation level was. Only when they picked up a coconut and tested it did the Geiger counter give out a warning about dangerous levels. Turns out that the radioactive isotopes are able to bond with the calcium found in coconuts. Shame that someone has not mailed the plutonium to those in Washington D.C.

Disturbing how easily the government can do this to a people and then leave it poisonous!

How have I never heard of this.. what else are we not taught in history class. This is terrible

“For the good of mankind” Many years later; still cannot go back to our homeland because it’s covered with radiation. doesn’t sound soo good.

My Uncle Richard Masculine was One of those Soldiers, who is no longer here, who fought for the soldiers and himself, and died and also had Cancer, I Loved him very much, and he showed me all the pictures and told me about the villagers as well, and everything that is being talked about in this video😪🤬 Rest in Peace Richard Masculine. Masculine was one of the founding members of our Enewetak Atoll Atomic Debris Cleanup Mission Group here on Facebook. He died of health complications due to the radiation exposure he was exposed to at Enewetak Atoll. The radiation we were exposed to is an almost silent killer. It has caused cancer and other health issues in many of us. Richard will be missed by all the soldiers who knew him. My condolences to his family and all who knew him. May God find peace for his soul!

This takes "little knowledge is dangerous." to a whole new level. Mistakes from the old generation can have an impact on the future generations. I pray for Everyone's safety.
