Special U.S. Air Force teams trained in radiation detection and decontamination techniques were alerted to fly to any impact site...
...last Monday afternoon, NORAD had a better fix on the decaying orbit, projecting the terminal track across the Australian deserts, then northeastward over the Pacific and into the beginning of reentry over the Queen Charlotte Islands, off British Columbia. Before dawn, Brzezinski was aroused with the news that Canada indeed...
