Plutonium is a most toxic and dangerous substance.)

But the really interesting question is that which I posted earlier: Who says that this involves a nuclear weapon? And why would someone with no information about the contents of that semi pose a question assuming that it contains a nuclear weapon - something that he doesn't know? What's the motive? To discredit our country, maybe? Given the imperfections and troubles of the US that are real and provable, why would someone (who labels himself with "CCCP") invent/concoct some hazard of a nuclear event without proof of his smeer?

For one year of my life, it was my job in the Army JAG Corps to deal with issues involving the handling, storage, transportation, and use of nuclear-tipped Pershing missiles then deployed in Germany (they are long gone now), and to work face-to-face with the men who worked with and commanded those missiles, sometimes in the field, about incidents arising from all of that. There really might be some GFY posters here who have had a closer connection to nuclear weapons, but looking around, I doubt it. Look, everyone who gets close to these weapons is profoundly serious about them and they each take it as a grave responsibility, so seriously that they'd give up their lives to prevent harm. All of them. Really. And if they are merely suspected of any different attitude, their proximity to special weapons is terminated in a heartbeat.
