I felt that the extend interview time of Emmanuel Urey’s family in the US did not further any real understanding of the issue and was just an appeal to the viewer’s emotion.
The Iroquois Theater Fire, the destruction of US Capitol Building, and the Hague Street boiler explosion are used as historical examples to support the arguments made in the article as well as the findings of a steel expert who investigated the collapse of the towers.

By addressing these issues the quality of response to nuclear emergencies can be greatly increased.
