More than 100 people who graduated from the same high school have been diagnosed with rare cancers, including large brain tumors.
A New Jersey man collected the stories of at least 102 individuals who have been diagnosed with cancer since attending the same school in the 1990s, including himself, according to a new report. Al Lupiano was diagnosed with a large brain tumor. Last year, Lupiano's wife and late sister were both diagnosed with rare cancers on the same day.
My wife and I may be the first documented case of spouses having the same type of cancer, and the odds are maybe one in a billion.
When people who no longer live in the area contacted Lupiano and said they too had gotten ill, he found the connecting link.
The Sampling Plant was only a short drive from the school. In the 40s and 50s, the plant received various radioactive imports, and in 1967, it was built. Fox reported that the school's location could have been brought into it by wind, rain, and even the truckloads of dirt hauled in during construction.
The consequences are similar to what theradium girls went through after painting watch dials with radioactive material. The company that the women worked for denied responsibility when their bones began to glow, but now we know better.
Let's hope the nuclear plant or the government takes responsibility for the patients who have suffered quickly.
I never thought I'd hit this milestone. 100 people have their life forever changed. Lupiano said in a previous Facebook post that 100 families had to be told terrible news.
There are more health crises.
