[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 291278, member: 6937"] I'll bet! NBC weapons can easily be the end of mankind, it's a very eerie feeling just talking about them, much less standing where one fell, thank God it was unarmed. I was born and raised in SC, and I had never heard of the A-bomb crater until about 5 or 6 years ago, I saw the sign as we were driving toward Florence one day, and so, I just had to check it out. In the area where the bomb fell, several years after that, sometime during the 1980's, a developer had planned to build a housing subdivision called "Francis Marion Forest" But it never went through, all that was there was the infrastructure, i.e., the power poles, the asphalt streets and driveways, and even the power poles with meter boxes in the yards. Well, I didn't know about the subdivision, nor about the bomb being unarmed when it fell, so, the first thing I thought was, "OMG! It wiped out a neighborhood, and it must still be condemned from too much radioactivity! We better not hang around too long!" But I also thought, "now if that were true, this would be a restricted area, they wouldn't let us within a mile of here." Then I went home and looked it up on the net, and breathed a sigh of relief, :D as well as learning another piece of our history. [/QUOTE]
