Quoting: FalloutGuy Pine damages easily. Wind blows it down. Insects infest it. Drought makes brush into perfect tinder which can all too easily catch fire. And these dying radioactive plantations are considered too dangerous and expensive to clear. If ignited, one expert likens the potential effect to setting off a nuclear bomb in Eastern Europe. Wind could carry radioactive smoke particles large distances, not just in Ukraine, but right across the continent.

Rumour has it that I was not born, I just walked in one frosty morn', Into the vision of some vacant mind. --- Damn! You always treat me like a mountain, stranger. Though I have never seen your shadows or fading lights, I’m just a rock that you’ll be picking up through all your ages, Always believing there’s a canyon for every blind. |
