quote LOS ALAMOS, N.M. — Firefighters struggled early Tuesday to hold back a fierce blaze roaring out of control at the edge of the Los Alamos National Laboratory, a sprawling nuclear weapons complex that includes a plutonium facility. Flames licked all day at the boundary of the laboratory site, home to the nation's largest supply of nuclear weapons, as fire crews scurried to douse spot fires carried onto the grounds by winds from the leading edge of the blaze. The laboratory was shut down, and the adjacent town of Los Alamos, home to about 12,000 people, was placed under a mandatory evacuation earlier. High winds on Monday forced the grounding of water-dropping helicopters and airplane tankers, limiting fire defenses largely to the use of bulldozers and hand tools. The facility cut natural gas to some areas as a precaution.

We are all going to die from the nuclear blast that is going to happen when the fire causes the nuclear material to go critical.

Swallow you iodine now. Run and hide in your fallout shelter. If the fire doesn't do it, the flooding of the shut down reactor sites will kill us all. Do it now. It's your only hope.

Don rubs hands together gleefully and nods head approvingly.

Well if one thing has been proven, nothing ever goes wrong at such sites and we should trust whatever it is that the company, regulatory body and media tell the public.

Only time will tell.

Man, nature decided to just give the big "FU" to nuclear sites lately eh?

That'd be pretty inept of us if we can't stop a fire with that much destructive potential.

Well setting off a an experimental hydrogen bomb would do a number on the fire in general.

And really.. it is only New Mexico.. so they have to fly balloons somewhere else for awhile... I think we'll be ok

You should audition for SNL, you've got some real talent there...
