Hanford!
"The spill of cesium and strontium in the soil beneath the 324 Building is so radioactively hot that it would be lethal to a worker on direct contact within two minutes, DOE has said previously.”

Fire burning soil and forest that have a large amount of radioactive particles results in the aerosolizing of these particles which then spread, again, downwind:

Now that you’re focused, a reminder that atomic bombs didn't “drop" on #Hiroshima & #Nagasaki:
The US conducted #nuclear attacks against the people of Hiroshima & Nagasaki.
There's a difference

The toxic disaster in East Palestine, Ohio after the chemical releases following the train derailment reveal classic #toxic
disaster management techniques.
The true extent of the danger and seriousness of the event is not made clear to people when it happens. Instead their anxieties are managed.
This is a way to protect capital, and liability rather than living creatures. It is similar to the denial of there having been #nuclear meltdowns at #Fukushima for three months by the government of Japan. This was to protect reputation and perceptions, not human beings.
My advice, as always: when an industrial disaster happens, what you are being told about the hazards on the first day are, at best, 10% of the real dangers you face. Always assume that you should get away as fast as possible. Better to be wrong and safe, than wrong and exposed.
