Just happened to hear radio doc. re "St. George" a small town downwind of US nuke tests in '50s and later - in fact often 'selected' as the right wind direction: contaminating milk in LA with I-131 just wouldn't have been an option. These folks Knew what they were doing - but prevented any notification of the townfolk, re contamination of their produce, etc. (Finally in '96 (?) some but not nearly all of the cancer sufferers received some stipend)

Patriotism at its extreme - considers any old person expendable. So all I mean is that, no it isn't unthinkable that a deicer reservoir was filled with something useless [for just one ex.] - but the accustion cannot be made except by a loony, unless FAA turns up and releases.?. something. Since you know aircraft, you can do your own gedanken experiment..

Clearly this is apt to have been an accident / oversight re landing weather conditions / subtle failure of man or machine. We live (and lie, often) in times where the word 'apt' is apt IMhO.

Yes, he stood for almost everything this Admin doesn't - it emerges.
