  I remember how we got panicked in Turkey because of the clouds that came over the black sea.
  Scientists said all the tea and nut crops on the black sea shores were contaminated.
  The minister of Commerce went on the TV to drink tea to show people that it's all fine and a bit of radiation is actually ok.
  3.5 months later after the incident they found out that the contamination is far more serious so they destroyed the crops or they told us that.
  Same minister apologised years later that they were too slow to respond and some of the tea and other produce have already been distributed around the country.

  • I remember people were afraid of the radioactive clouds coming towards Canada! .. I was a kid and still remember itBennn
  • I remember, that too, Bennn. I also remember my parents filling huge plastic containers of tap water, and deep-freezing it, just in case. Scary as a kid.Continuity
