I agree, it's not IF a US city will take a nuke hit, it's sadly now a question of WHEN. I think it should be the duty of all cryonic providers to consider this scenario, and make preparations. Perhaps if Timeship is put in the right location, it would provide a safe haven for patients to survive such an event. But, do we have time to wait?? Some time ago, I came across an old article in "Future" magazine (January 1979, pg.10) which very briefly tells of Underground Vaults & Storage in Hutchinson, Kansas. The last paragraph of this article stated, "Among proposed future uses: storage of sperm to insure family continuity, of tissue for cloning and of bodies cryogenically frozen in hope of future resurrection." Perhaps Alcor, who already uses UV&S for the storage of patient's items, should dust off this plan for reassessment? Other providers such as CI should maybe look into this as well.

The reason for this speculation is that the whole east coast is going to be a target so you want to get as far away from that as possible without being on the far west coast which will also be a target. My guess is that Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, Montana and such are the safest areas, as long as you are 25 to 50 miles from large cities. > >Am I paranoid about this? > >I don't think so. Even the experts think we are going to get hit and so does the president of the United States. At least he is making plans to survive attacks. We should do no less??? > >David Pizer Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=18768
