I haven't grown a limb out of my ass consuming all the the delicious critters in our waters after all these years, I guess I'm safe?

Isn't this how Godzilla was born?

Not Fukushima. We did it ourselves. From the article:

The USS Independence saw combat at Wake Island and other decisive battles against Japan in 1944 and 1945 and was later blasted with radiation in two South Pacific nuclear tests. The Navy deliberately sank the contaminated ship in 1951 south of the Farallon Islands.

After World War II, the Independence was engulfed in a fireball and heavily damaged during the 1946 nuclear weapons tests at Bikini Atoll, transformed into a floating nuclear decontamination lab while stationed at Hunters Point Naval Shipyard in San Francisco, then finally towed out to sea laden with untold barrels of radioactive waste and scuttled with two torpedo warheads.

What could possibly go wrong? 

Is this new? I thought this was just part of the whole big ass nuke dump out there?

If we could locate the wreckage there could be some good structure that holds fish?

At a depth of 2900' there could be some 200 lb. Lingcod for the taking?

Don't think a LC would/could live that deep.

I'm on it!
