  • Imo not having any safety measures for the bridge piers was extremely negligent. There was this picture where you’d see cable masts next to the bridge that were being secured by extra thick concrete islands (you can actually spot one in the headline image). Really makes it look like the safety of some cables was more important than the safety of a bridge / people.

    Edit: Ofc the incident was caused by the ship

    The irony is that production was only stopped after Hiroshima and Nagasaki as nobody wanted to buy radioactive toothpaste any more. So the US which developed nukes against the Germans actually saved the Germans from radioactive poisoning by dropping said nukes on Japan.

    One could say it left a bitter taste in some German’s mouths. ^(I couldn’t resist)

    Oh oh, I’ve got one too. It’s not containing Asbestos but Thorium (or Radium respectively) tho.

    “Doramad radioactive toothpaste”

    “Creates natural freshness in the mouth!”

    “Special biological healing effects by radium rays. A thousand times medically prescribed and recommended.”

    “What does Doramad do? Through its radioactivity, it increases the defenses of teeth and gums. The cells are charged with a new vigorous life energy, which inhibits bacteria in their destructive ability. Hence the exquisite prevention and healing effect on gum diseases. Polishes enamel to the softest shiny white. Prevents tartar approach. Good foam, new taste, pleasant, mild and refreshing. Use extensively.”

    Quick disclaimer: The last two quotes can be found on Wikipedia but they are not backed up with sources.
