One little slip of the screwdriver:
Over the next four days, Slotin suffered an “agonizing sequence of radiation-induced traumas”, including severe diarrhea, reduced urine output, swollen hands, erythema, “massive blisters on his hands and forearms”, intestinal paralysis and gangrene. He had internal radiation burns throughout his body, which one medical expert described as a “three-dimensional sunburn.” By the seventh day, he was experiencing periods of “mental confusion.” His lips turned blue and he was put in an oxygen tent. He ultimately experienced “a total disintegration of bodily functions” and slipped into a coma. Slotin died at 11 a.m. on 30 May, in the presence of his parents. He was buried in the Shaarey Zedek Cemetery in Winnipeg on 2 June 1946.
Internal radiation burns, throughout his body.
I still can’t believe how absolutely brain dead that whole experiment was. You’re holding death at bay with a fuckin screwdriver. What did they think was gonna happen?
The worst part, after the original group died someone came along and did it AGAIN!?
It’s amazing that this was the second criticality accident with the same core, in under a year. I guess safety regulations really are written in blood and/or internal radiation burns throughout the body.
You need a really good shoulder for this one to work.
This is probably 5 times the weight…
Either you forgot to include Saddam Hussein, or you hid him really fucking well

I remember watching the movie about this in highschool and being absolutely sure there was no way it was that stupid. Then I looked it up ajd not only was it even dumber, I learned someone did it AGAIN.
