Truck Filled With Radioactive Goop Goes Missing
Meanwhile, south of the border (just south, as in TJ), a delivery truck filled with Cobalt 60 en route from a hospital to a waste facility was stolen. (more here and here )
“The white Volkswagen Worker truck was transporting a “teletherapy source” containing cobalt-60 when it was stolen Monday in the central Hidalgo state town of Tepojaco, north of Mexico City, the International Atomic Energy Agency said.”
While its was most likely a simple case of vehicle theft (its TJ afterall), the contents could wind up being moved by the cartels to the highest bidder. I mean who wouldnt want a few drums of instant dirty bomb for those special occasions. Just add some C4 and its moonsuits and geiger counters for everyone!
(Update 12/5) : They found the material. However, the clown that took it opened the case it was in and removed it from the shielding, unknowingly adding himself to the next season of 1000 Ways To Die, but on the bright side, he could get a Darwin Award.
