1. Crap -- I was in college at Penn State in 1979. I remember people evacuating Harrisburg and staying with their kids in the dorms in State College.
2. Crap -- he wasn't even the first American in space (he was the first American to orbit the planet)

Hello, you FoCers! Just returned from dealing cards and figured this is a good way to wind down. :-)

Questions on the table presently are:

  1. Was the nuclear accident at Three Mile Island, Pennsylvania the most deadly industrial disaster in history?
  2. Was John Glenn the first human in space?

Well, I didn't think these would be much of a challenge for FoCers as smart as y'all! :-)

The Calendar Crew says this about that:

  1. It's CRAP! "The worst industrial accident occurred in Bhopal, India, during the early hours of December 3, 1984. A deadly chemical gas, methyl isocyanate, leaked out of Union Carbide's pesticide factory, killing more than 2,500 people outright (some 6,000 would later die from their injuries) and injuring somewhere between 120,000 to 600,000 others. Union Carbide and the Indian government arrived at a settlement of $470 million for the injured, a controversial number when compared to the $5 billion in punitive damages levied against Exxon for the Valdez spill in Prince William Sound, where there was zero loss of human life."
  2. It's CRAP! John Glenn was the first American to orbit the earth, in 1962. THe first human in space was Russian cosmonaut Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin, on April 12, 1961. His Vostok spacecraft orbited the earth once; the entire flight lasted only 108 minutes. Gagarin died in 1968 on a routine jet proficiency flight."

Okay, here are a couple more for you to ponder:

  1. Death valley is the hottest place on earth.
  2. The Braille alphabet was invented by a boy who had been blinded by an awl.

FACT or CRAP? You decide!

OG, Bhopal wasn't nuclear, but the question asked about the "most deadly industrial disaster" and it definitely was that. :-)

1. Crap - Death Valley is pretty danged hot, but wouldn't some place closer to the equator have to be hotter?

2. Crap - Braille was invented by Petr Szorvik, a blind Czech monk, in 1754.
