Go through the fucking edit history of the articles on Wikipedia to see when those details were public knowledge.

If you can make the MSNBC archive interface work, there were plenty of pieces about it on Maddow's show, etc.

There are and were much better credentialed sources than the shitheap you linked to. If that source was even 25% right, we would not be having this conversation, because our irradiated corpses would be completely dry by now. No better than gunderson and his HYDROVOLCANIC EXPLOSIONS bullshit. Fuck them all.

although the Reagan is a nuke carrier it does not say that it was a result of the ship itself Demonaut May 2016 #3

Wasn't it the first ship to Japan ghostsinthemachine May 2016 #6

You're arguing with someone who lacks even a 6th-grade grasp of physics. AtheistCrusader May 2016 #55

This is what comes from scientific illiteracy combined with paranoia and an invisible threat FBaggins May 2016 #56

How enlightening. Octafish May 2016 #60

If the source you cited was even in the ballpark, the united states would have been a wasteland in 2 AtheistCrusader May 2016 #63

No, the source said the USA was exposed to radiation from Fukushima. Octafish May 2016 #81
