One grain/particle in the lungs is a death sentence, you can eat plutonium and supposedly it won't kill you as it passes through but in the lungs it's game over.

I wonder why they weren't wearing respirators while being anywhere near it?, but it said something about safety procedures in the OP.

I hope their Family's will be taken care of.
