my name is li bai cell. and i was the president of the brandeis collegiate institute from the spring of 2000 to 2003. prior to accepting the job, i asked the chair of the board if there was anything that i needed to be worried about. she said, it s all good. we have had a settlement. and everything on that land has been cleaned up. and there s nothing to worry about. i think one of the most surprising documents we unearthed was an internal report commission by the camp, like proved there was a lot of contamination from santa suzannah, but ran down to children s camp, and it was the basis for the camp suing the owners of the field lab, and then, secretly settling that lawsuit. when i hear about a settlement, what comes to mind is that there s a reliability here. we don t often want to hear those sides of things. we don t often want to hear that there s something wrong. they have not been transparent and exactly what s going up up there, even now.
health impacts. that go on for hundreds, if not half million years. right now, have 1 million people lived within ten miles of the site. i ve asked over and over again, where is it safe? where would it be dangerous? after studying this for almost four years, i am afraid i cannot answer that. people need to understand that the santa susana field lab is on a mountain. gravity wants to carry that contamination downhill. it is not a glass wall surrounding santa suzannah that prevents contaminants from being blown off-site by the wind. the wind will carry the contaminants. there is not some kind of damn hooked around the sites so that when it rains the rainfall won t carry the contaminants. so when it rains, the surface water carries the radioactivity down in the middle streams, and
kim kardashian telling her 58 million twitter followers that she is shocked and furious to learn the woolsey fire started at santa suzannah and is potentially radioactive. the reporting that we did brought some attention, but of course the kardashians can bring the issue way more attention. people are believing in this, this is the real thing, we are not just playing games anymore. come on guys. wait on the other side of this. line these are all of my other children. here i am seeing enough changes happening that i am hopeful that it could be ripped out from underneath the bus at any moment. i know what it is like to lose a child with cancer, and nobody should ever have to face that again. it s gone so fast, i m still out of breath. we are trying to put together a coalition, with all of our elected officials, people need to start passing the ball, take leadership.
