- Summary:
- When Mexican warehouseman Vincente Sotelo dismantled an unused hospital x-ray machine and sold it for scrap, he had no idea he was causing a radioactive spill 100 times worse than Three Mile Island. 6,000 pellets of cobalt-60 were spread across the USA and Mexico. The disaster was only discovered by accident.
