TODAY less that 2 hours ago.....
A camera with radioactive material inside of it has been stolen out of a double locked safe here in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Alerts are out to whoever has the camera not to open it or remove the lid. If found place a 200 foot parimeter around it and call 911. It was also noted that anyone handling the radioactive material from inside the camera could cause death within a matter of 2~3 minutes.
The material is enough to create a dirty bomb.

i think that was a movie, "die hard" 6 or 7.
-
Why would anyone want to put radio active material in a camera?
Perhaps they wanted to take "Dirty" pictures?
10-1 odds if they catch the guy his last name ends with "Ski"
LOL

It's happened before. The cameras are used to inspect metal structures.
-
Say cheese! :O
-
That's what it was used for, inspecting metal for cracks and such. I've "Google'd" for any news on this and came up empty. It's HOT news here right now but nothing than just what was said on the local News Stations....
-
It's called "x-ray".
Radioactive camera. Most x-ray can work with an xray generator, but for the thick stuff, you might want to use a hot radioactive source, hence the radioactive camera.:D

Anyone who sees the camera should not go near it or move it. Simply contact the Department of Environmental Quality at 1-800-522-0206.

This has got to be an INside job. Not wiggIN out, but this is a lil to frikkIN close to home. I'd feel the same if it had happened IN any other city. SomethINg is up... When I get a gut feelIN it's normally right.
Just waitIN to see if anythINg comes out in prINt.
Mac
BTW this IsN't BS!
-
That's the camera they showed on the news!!!!
:(
-
Ahhh ok.
LOL I was picturing a Kodak
-
I live just 15 mINutes from Tulsa. Don't know if I should be plastic wrappINg the wINdows or makIN foil hats for the Family and pets.

What's with all the IN? Why would they lock the thread?
-
Just throwin them out.....incase this maybe some of my last postings...okay "if" something happens to me and "if" I warrant a fly by please do it "counterclockwise" to "Turn Back Time".
Must have Sheep and Cher singin. You can sheer the sheep and share them but no sheering Cher and sharing. Bury me Nekid, it's the way I fly and if I'm in Heaven I want to impress a few Angels. But if I'm in Hell... then I figure I'd be a lil cooler with nuthing on.
But all BS aside.
I really think that this is just the begining of the "Last" Holy War.

Well if they wipe Tulsa off the map, at least I wont have to go there in the spring for work...
Btw what is there to do in tulsa
Other then cow tipping...

some homey prolly stole it to finance his crack, it will end up in the local crackandpawn, unless it gets opened then it will all be a CIA plot to kill the black man, like the dikes in NO:D

I worked with many different radioactive sources when I was in the oil logging business. Some were neutron emitters and some were gamma ray emitters. They were powerful but I doubt that you could come anywhere near making a dirty bomb out of them.
First off the sources we used were not plutonium. I doubt the bridge inspectors use it either.
Second the amount of material in our very strong sources were in the order of grams. You need kilograms to make a bomb sized payload.
Finally because they are encased in a number of layers of metal it is almost impossible to get to the source without getting totally irradiated or having the right tools.
To find the missing source all they have to do is fly over the city in a helipcopter with a gamma detector and it will spike when they get anywhere near an unsheilded source. That is what my company did in Nigeria to find the sources that were stolen from our bunker one time.

The CIA tried to kill off all the Lesbians in NO?
Will this affect CanDUHian Hockey?

Habu, thanks. That sounds more comforting.

What Habu said. We've used them before to do PMI's on metals when our customers required certs.

A family just can`t have too many tinfoil hats. ;)

Civil engineers use something similar to verify the compaction around piping when we backfill after excavation work.
Up here someone stole one once, they put the fact that it was radioactive out in the media,(since I guess the thieves were too stupid to know what the symbol is for), and the next day someone left it outside of a post office.
We laughed and wondered if the cops thought of notifying the local hospitals about anyone who might be showing up in the emergency rooms wondering if they had radiation poisining, lol.

Somethings are just so wrong, funny, but still just so wrong.
:rofl
BTW they recovered the camera on the off ramp of a Highway just less than 3 miles away from where it was stolen.
So Tulsa lives on.....
:aok

Stolen my A22, I bet it fell off the truck that was using it. It has happened that the soil testing guys left a soil density tester (uses an atomic source) on a construction site in Palm Beach a couple of years ago and reported it stolen. News media went nuts, warnings, dirty bomb ect.
Police found it at the last job they were on after reviewing job logs, three hours later (what took so long to look there?).
"No boss I did'nt lose it, It must have been stolen, really man, stolen"
