Quoting: Seer777 What are the odds? A cover-up just like Chernobyl: Sixty doctors who treated naked missile technicians wrapped in plastic bags after mystery Russian 'nuclear explosion' are 'flown to Moscow for urgent tests' after they were NOT told of radiation risk As many as 60 medics at a hospital treating injured workers from the recent Russian 'radiation explosion' have been flown to Moscow for urgent medical tests, it is reported. One doctor was later found to have Caesium-137 — a radioactive isotope that is a byproduct of the nuclear fission of uranium-235 — in his muscle tissue. The medic 'was not informed about the amount or concentration of the isotope found', reported The Moscow Times in startling new revelations over the explosion during a weapon test. Three victims arrived naked and wrapped in translucent plastic bags on the day of the explosion - 8 August - but at no point were medics at Arkhangelsk Regional Clinical Hospital told how the men had become injured except that it involved an explosion, it was revealed. [link to www.dailymail.co.uk (secure)] [link to youtu.be (secure)] Two of these three victims treated at the hospital later died en route to the airport to be transported to Moscow. The incident is compared by one doctor to a shocking scene from the HBO mini-series 'Chernobyl' when doctors are depicted treating victims without protective gear. In the drama, a nurse explains that their clothes should be burned, but the medics still handle toxic items with their bare hands. 'Thirty-three years later and our government hasn't learned a thing. They keep trying to hide the truth,' said a doctor at the Arkhangelsk hospital where this month's weapons test victims were treated. If the dosage wasn't very high, the person should be able to fully recover within a week if they are given clean food and water,' he said. The lack of information put the doctors at risk. 'Exposure to Caesium-137 is quite preventable — all you need to do is wash the patient really well,' he said. 'But the doctors were made vulnerable to radiation because they hadn't been told what had happened.

[link to nsarchive2.gwu.edu (secure)] Quoting: Coozy The US National Archives of Security published the first classified report by U.S. intelligence about the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in 1986, which reported the possible number of injured in the explosion. The report was prepared by the Assistant Secretary of State for Intelligence and Research Morton Abramowitz.

It was taken by photographer Igor Kostin in the first helicopter to fly over the disaster zone to evaluate radiation levels. The view is foggy due to the high radiation. [link to imgur.com (secure)] Kostin managed to develop the films, only to realise that all but one was unsalvageable - most of the films were affected by the high level of radiation, that caused the photographs to appear entirely black, resembling a film that was exposed to light pre-maturely. Kostin's only photograph of the nuclear power plant was sent to Novosti in Moscow, but he did not receive a permit to publish it until 5 May 1986. His visit to Chernobyl was illegal and not sanctioned by the authorities. Pravda published limited information about the accident on 29 April 1986, but did not publish Kostin’s photographs. The accident was interpreted as a major catastrophe by the global news media, even when the Ukrainian and Soviet authorities were trying to suppress any news regarding the accident.

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 73577198 Netherlands08/19/2019 09:42 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The Void was co-founded by CEO Ken Bretschneider, Curtis Hickman, a visual effects artist and former stage magician, and James M. Jensen, an entrepreneur and interactive media designer. Bretschneider had been developing a steampunk-themed theme park in Pleasant Grove, Utah known as Evermore Park; one of its planned attractions was to be a mixed reality experience that would combine virtual reality technology with a physical environment. However, due to a lack of funding and its estimated cost of nearly $400 million, Bretschneider announced in August 2015 that the Evermore project would be "paused". Instead, he announced that the Evermore team would focus entirely on developing a standalone attraction known as The Void (an acronym of "The Vision of Infinite Dimensions"), which was described as being a "virtual entertainment center".[4] Mayor of Pleasant Grove Mike Daniels explained that "the size and scope of their project outgrew both the size of the land they had purchased and the amount of capital they needed to raise in addition to the millions of dollars Ken put up for the project."[2][3] Evermore Park did eventually open in September 2018.[5] In May 2016, The Void announced that it had partnered with Sony Pictures to co-develop a Ghostbusters-themed attraction, Ghostbusters: Dimension, which opened at Madame Tussauds in Times Square, New York City on July 1, 2016 as a tie-in to the new Ghostbusters film.[6] In July 2017, it was announced that The Void would be joining the Disney Accelerator program.[7] Shortly after, The Void and Disney announced a new Star Wars attraction, Secrets of the Empire, for launch later in the year as a tie-in for the upcoming spin-off film Rogue One. It was being produced in a collaboration with ILMxLAB—an offshoot of Lucasfilm and Industrial Light & Magic devoted to immersive entertainment.[8][9] With the same partners, The Void announced in 2018 that it would develop five more projects with Disney, including an attraction based on Ralph Breaks the Internet, and an upcoming project for 2019 in collaboration with Marvel Studios.[10] Technology[edit] The Void's mixed reality experiences utilize aspects of virtual reality, haptic feedback, and other physical effects; users wear a helmet with a head-mounted display, noise cancelling headphones and a hand tracking sensor, and a haptic suit containing 22 vibrators and a computer to power the headset. The system is designed to allow its users to freely walk through and explore a virtual world; in reality, the user is confined to a "stage" equipped with ceiling-mounted motion tracking cameras to read the user's movements. To provide physical feedback, the "stage" contains foam walls, special effects equipment such as fans, mist machines, and heat lamps, as well as props representing items such as guns and torches; all of these physical elements correspond with elements within the virtual world seen through the headset, increasing the illusion of immersion.[1] "If I put a hallway in front of you, it would look like a straight hallway. And if I told you to walk down the hallway and you're in full Void gear—full VR—you would walk in what you believe to be a straight line. But in the real real world, you're actually turning by 90 degrees or more as you walk. You just subconsciously don't know it because I've made you believe that you're walking a straight line. We can reuse that space. And to you, in VR, it seems like it goes on forever and ever."[4] Hickman explained that The Void would leverage his prior knowledge of magic by using "illusion design, misdirection and magic theory to create the illusion of reality, as opposed to just trying to rely only on the technology to do it."[1][2][4] Among the illusion-based techniques used are redirected walking, which is used to give the illusion that the user is traversing a larger path in a straight line, but is actually walking through a curved hall. Redirected walking, in combination with the ability to have the same physical hallways and walls represent different locations in the virtual space, provides the illusion that the user is traversing a location larger than the stage itself.[1][4][11] The original prototype of the system, which simulated the interior of a spaceship, utilized an Oculus Rift Development Kit 1, a 10-foot long wall, and electromagnetic sensors for position tracking. Early iterations of The Void's vest system utilized an Oculus Rift Development Kit 2, Beats by Dr. Dre headphones, and a Leap Motion unit for hand tracking. To overcome their limitations and improve the experience, the company intended to eventually replace these off-the-shelf parts with custom-designed equipment.[1] One of these new components was a custom-designed headset codenamed "Rapture", which features curved, per-eye 2K resolution OLED displays with a claimed 180-degree field of vision, a custom optics system, Bang and Olufsen headphones, and microphones for communication between players. The company stated that Rapture was intended to provide a higher-quality virtual reality experience in comparison to the consumer-grade hardware previously used. Bretschneider personally invested $250,000 into the Rapture project. [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] [link to www.youtube.com (secure)] |
