That's a story.:doh:
Some senior citizens are able to get into a high security nuclear facility. Now I'm feeling safe knowing that radioactive material is locked away safely...not.:dead:

Any chance of a working link?

[Jimbuna]

Yep...limk not working.

[Schroeder]

Link works but I'm struggling to understand her attitude :hmmm:

"Please have no leniency with me," Sister Megan Rice told the court at the hearing in Knoxville, the BBC reported. "To remain in prison for the rest of my life would be the greatest gift you could give me."

Link works but I'm struggling to understand her attitude :hmmm:
Me too. But the fact that they could get that far into the facility is what wonders/worries me.

martyrdom

Yes.
And as the prosecution put it, these are "habitual" and "recidivist" criminals, though some people don't understand the second word:D

They cut into fences surrounding the facility, spray-painted peace slogans and chipped a wall with hammers. They also hoisted banners and squirted human blood on a building in the compound that contained highly enriched uranium, CNN reported

After spending nearly two hours inside the site, a guard approached them. According to the BBC, they responded by offering him food and singing.

Smoking some high quality bud....maybe.:hmmm:

It's nice to know that the guards in the joint are doing such a bang up job.:doh:

Two hours before they caught them!????:timeout:
I wonder if the old gal has a yellow cake recipe to share.

Reminds me of the time some anti-nukers "broke into" one of our Titan silos. Well they got over the fence and started taking sledge hammers to the blast door.

Considering the density of the concrete used, we were good for about 20 years before they could start even making a dent.:/\\!!

But technically they did infiltrate a silo facility, but from a practical security standpoint, nothing to worry about. :D
