- SkeuomorphicBee 4y agoThe 1987 Brazilian accident in Goiânia was horrendous because the caesium-137 capsule was breached and there was widespread contamination by radioactive dust. I get chilled to the bone when I read the descriptions of people innocently playing with the curious glow-in-the-dark dust as a novelty, showing to their neighbors and friends.
