Oh Good We Found The Missing Radioactive Device Wait What Do You Mean THE DEVICE WAS CRUSHED SENDING RADIATION INTO A BUILDING?

Yesterday, a man found the missing radioactive device in the Nicetown section of the city at a scrapyard. Well, only the case was found in the scrapyard. The radioactive gauge was found in the building next door and had been put into a crusher. Oh, that’s okay. Wait, what?

As the anchors made sure to note approximately 45,000 times during yesterday’s 5 o’clock news broadcast — Is there anyone in this town who isn’t a shameless annoying self-promoter? No. Good, just checking. — the man who found it found out about the missing radioactive case from Good Day Philadelphia. Dave Schratweiser said the scene “looked like something out of a counter-terrorism drill. But this was the real thing.” But, ah, it wasn’t really an act of terrorism.

The yellow box was found in a side yard, while the radioactive gauge was found inside a building. The material was contained inside the building, and eventually cleaned it up. Now it’s contained in a drum and some private company will eventually clean it up. Until they forget, and then pretty soon there are Philadelphians with three arms.
