        Fun fact, Mi6 plagiarized from the plot from The Rock to justify the invasion of Iraq.

        Specifically "the use of glass containers for chemical agents and the similarity of the description to those portrayed in The Rock "

          That is not really correct based on the available information. Look at the title of the article itself,

          The Rock movie plot ‘may have inspired MI6 source’s Iraqi weapons claim’

          The source of Mi6, claimed that Iraq had this. But Mi6 was clearly suspicious, because chemical ammunition are usually not stored in glass containers. This is given just below of the line you quoted,

          MI6 accepted this possible flaw to the intelligence, the report adds: “The questions about the use of glass containers for chemical agents and the similarity of the description to those portrayed in The Rock had been recognised by SIS. There were some precedents for the use of glass containers but the points would be pursued when further material became available.”

            The quote from the article is coming from a 2016 review of the original information passed on to America to justify the war. So they now recognize that it is bullshit from a movie, but that didn’t stop them from transferring the information back in the 00s.

          Even if true, there’s nothing “fun” about the origin story that led to a war killing over a hundred thousands and including some horrible war crimes.

          There were hostages on the island and if the pearl popped it would infect all of the hostages and possibly caught the wind to disperse over part of SF. Even one would have killed hundreds of people.

          If it hit the water it would probably be fine water is very good at diluting stuff.

          Japan dumped the radioactive water they had from the meltdown and nothing really bad happened because again large bodies of water are great at diluting stuff.

          The only thing I can think of is if there was ground below it could have cracked and possibly got to the hostages.

            iirc that water released from japan wasn’t even that radioactive on its own before dilution, but nuclear scary stuff gets attention and clicks.

              If dumping that radioactive water is so harmless, then how do you explain the ningen?

      Yes, and once-upon-a-time (if I’m remembering correctly) Condoleeza Rice and/or Colin Powell cited this device as evidence of WMDs in Iraq to the United Nations Security Council.
