    An airplane crash doesn’t directly impact people completely unrelated to the airplane. Nuclear radiation has no known boundary. Just look at China being pissed at Japan right now for releasing water back into the ocean.

      China can be pissed all they like, the water Japan is releasing is heavily diluted, and effectively no more radioactive than normal sea water.

      China’s not actually pissed about that, they just love coming up with excuses to get their population riled up against Japan.

        I mean it’s possible to be both, right?

        I live on a great lake, and if Canada started dumping their treated toxic waste into the water, I’d be pretty upset.

          The city of Toronto already does that into Lake Ontario, and probably the same for other cities there.
