Have you thought through what would happen if a major US city's water system was effectively poisoned? Terror is easily the first word that comes to my mind. Beyond the immediate consequences in the affected city, there's be a HUGE run on bottled water across the country. I for one would feel extremely weak (I have no way to tell if my water is safe), vulnerable (water is a basic requirement, and it might be compromised) and unsafe (no example needed).
- GFischer 15y agoLet's put it this way: yesterday an ignorant but worried lady expressed concern that she is going to San Francisco, if the water and seafood are safe and not radiation-poisoned. The connection being that they're "in the Pacific" same as Japan and Fukushima, and that made her scared. TV scare-mongering made a lady from Uruguay feel afraid from something that happened literally half a world away from where she's going... if someone poisoned an US city's water, she's never going to the US again for certain.
