Died of cancer at 23 years old. :cry:

3. Did he work at the plant?

How was he affected?

4. Lived nearby. Both his parents died of cancers within 2 years.

He lived almost 4 years after exposure. TMI killed the whole family.

5. I'm sorry for your loss.

I recently started a project with a young man whose father was then a PA state trooper. He was assigned to go house to house warning people of the disaster. He continued to patrol the area close to the plant. He and his family still live in the area.

I didn't ask the young man about cancer, but given that his mom and dad are still alive, I can only assume not.

It is amazing how capricious some things can be.

6. Interesting signs in those pics

"The all-knowing, all-seeing, all-powerful God of the universe obviously sat back and let the disaster in Japan happen even though he could not possibly be unaware of it and even though he certainly had the power to stop it...

But... we think he'll change his position on the matter after we've begged him."

The cognitive dissonance is at lethal levels.
