I did some research on the story. The school is located about 11 miles from a nuclear bomb development site called the Middlesex Sampling Plant. (The plant has since been closed.) It’s theorized that radioactive waste had been disposed into the soil. The school was built in 1967, and some speculate that the school was built directly on top of the contaminated soil.
Thank you for your research! I think you cracked the case! God bless everyone involved.
radioactivity is truly No joke
You just did a better research in some minutes than the responsible ones in months.
god damn this is a tragedy
WOW!!! Thank you so much for that thats insane
I’m not sure if it’s a small town or not, but if it is….we’ve all seen movies about things like this. Do not let people tell you not to worry about that. Nothing about that is normal. Prayers to their families. Such a tragedy
It’s a middle to upper middle class community not too large. I didn’t live there but I knew a good amount of people from that town.
What's the difference? It's STILL suspicious and requires some answers.
@@Maddie9185 oh okay. That makes sense. It’s always the small towns. I hope they get closure, and sue their asses
Bruujhh, that's school is definitely sitting in some natural Uranium
And a whole bunch
@@ljeans531 HAS TO BE! Im just waiting for those who have already graduated, if they have had some weird symptoms over the years
This is absolutely terrifying. It's odd to me that they are just linking the school as a common denominator, seeing how they all live in the same area. I would think that the whole town and the land that they all live on should also be considered.
I thought the same thing. But it kind of raised a flag since I now remember a couple of friends who were diagnosed with cancer from the same HS. Another thing I thought was, a lot of schools were built when asbestos was permitted, if I'm not mistaken.
I thought this also.
To late
Cancer is more prevalent than it has been in the past. There’s definitely something in our food or atmosphere killing us.
@@JBNetBreaker But, this isn't the type of cancer linked to asbestos.
Dad grew up one mile from the high school. He had his brain tumor removed two years ago.
Sorry your family had to go through that, Glad it was detected and removed 👍
I am so extremely sorry to hear that. Do you think it’s toxic mold plus the radiation? Toxic mold really does grow faster in radiation yet radiation makes people, animals and other plant life grow slower and harms them. Is the high school mostly made from concrete? Concrete stays wet a long time and it wouldn’t be able to dry out well there with the humidity. Also, rough concrete is the perfect breeding ground for toxic mold as it’s so porous at the surface.
I really hope your Dad is ok. 💝 💐
@@youfinallyfoundwaldo1364 No toxic mold. The house was built solid. I have pictures from the late 40s when my grandfather was building their house. There are just fields and no other houses in that direction.
Holy shit 😰 this kinda scares me
@@kristir1262 ❤❤❤
In the 1990s, the school also made headline when during a class demonstration, a teacher operated a geiger counter and pointed it at one of the random rocks the students collected. Everything was normal but when the device was pointed to one of the rocks, the meter suddenly went to the max range and emitted the loud noise indicating a very radioactive object. The entire school was evacuated and then authorities in hazmat suits were called to bring out the stone. After that, nothing ever was told about the incident again.
Flash forward today. More than a hundred Colonia High School alumnis have brain tumors and some have died.
Goin back further in history> Middlesex borough where Colonia town was located, was also the location of a secret lab during WW2 researching for a new weapon called the atomic bomb and the operation was called the Manhattan Project.
wow, love how a CZcams comment is more informative than the news.
The school campus is just under 12 miles from the Middlesex Sampling Plant, which was used to crush, cry, store, package and ship uranium ore during the development of the atomic bomb under direction from the Manhattan Project.
Whoa
And they put children on that land.
Incredible.
You’d think that the news report would mention these things.
They say people at the school aren’t in “immediate danger” but in reality they don’t know. And this wouldn’t effect just the school - the school is in a town, not in the middle of nowhere.
the town is not concerned? and the school is still open? I'd be moving out!
Right?! How are these parents not concerned of this?! Or at least concerned enough to relocate
It's a blue collar, old school, hard headed neighborhood that's why.
"Worth investigating aggressively" Sends people who are not wearing PPE to check for a radiation source onto school grounds. School remains open. I don't think yall understand what aggressively means. Your actions say you don't believe the cause is even at the school.
Dog and Pony Show.
No protective gear.
Students in school at risk.
The report is already prepared
The brightly colored vests startle the radiation particles that may be floating around.
They need to get a reputatable attorney and hire their own onvestigative contractor
@@randomizednamme 🤣
And using baby strollers to walk around the grounds.
I did the math-- the rate of cancerous tumours over the population of that high school over the course of 25 years (they originally said it was 1975 - 2000-- not sure why they are saying 30 years) is 50 times higher than normal, and for brain tumours in general, 100 times normal. That does not sound like a coincidence.
Impressive math
What is the rate normally per year? Is it for that area or just in the general population in the USA?
The school might be next to a cell phone tower. The people who were working on the 5g towers were peeing bodily tissues along with things like migraines and vomiting. My uncle lived next to one and died of brain cancer his wife a few months later.
Omg omg so I looked up cell towers in jersey and they hid them. In trees and flagpoles. It deleted my comment before.
@@yondermileslimpey3892 how do you look them up?
I am struck by the absolute nerve of the authorities to say people are not in immediate danger!! Really!! Smh!!
They are not in Immediate danger. These people developed cancer over decades. Nothing people do today, this week or next month is going to cause or prevent brain tumors. (biologist).
@@KB4QAA is there anything people can do to detect the tumors early? Random MRIs?
@@KB4QAA if there was a chance that exposure to something in the school would cause brain tumors in the future, I'd want to avoid it.
@@KB4QAA *Sorry! But yelling biologist doesn't make your silly point valid. If the running water in that school is filled with lead... Or the walls have toxic paint, or if the premises have anything environmentally toxic. They'd better stay away from that place until they can figure it out. (NOT A BIOLOGIST WHO LACKS COMMON SENSE)*
@@haitiancreolewithluciano You should post "Uneducated" after your comments. Ahem. Lead doesn't typically cause cancer or brain tumors. Lack of education does not make your comments more valid.
The problem may be bigger than just the high school. Is anyone looking at people that live in the area, and not just the students? It would not be the first time that an entire community is affected. Anyone testing water samples, etc.? Prayers to all affected by this medical mystery.
Maybe it's the food?
Smart with water samples
like what happened in..i dont remember...Michigan maybe? Wasnt Flint. But people were getting sick in high numbers for a long period of time & it ended up being a parasite in the water. Now they have one of the best water supplies in the country.
@@theeemaven LLP
Here is insight from Al, when someone asked him a question on his Facebook comments a week ago:
Q: “Just curious... Since Colonia high school is made up of students from Colonia and Avanelle mostly, is there any information on those 115 students diagnosed so far if they live in either of those areas predominantly? Just curious”
A: “no, they are dispersed throughout. Many of us lived in Iselin and went to the high school. It's not a neighborhood issue, it's the school. There are over 30 teachers/ staff affected too. Few lived in the township…they only worked in the school.”
I live in a community of 32 homes and 3 homeowners have breast cancer. All diagnosed in their 40’s, no cancer history. I’m one of them. Really makes you wonder about the environment, water lines, etc.
5g
I work with a woman who grew up 5 miles from out office, in a small farming community. The pesticides and water pollution gave her, her mother, her sister all breast cancer. Her son died of bone cancer. Hurts my heart so much. Makes me want to drink only bottled water.
@@softshell812
Oh my gosh. That’s so sad. 🙁 I used to give cancer patients their radiation treatments and I remember 2 kids who lived close to each other and they both had cancers that they should not have had for their age group. One of the kids dad did environmental work and eventually they found out that the cancers had something to do with a part of an underground water pipe that was never changed and got into their water supply. My husband won’t drink tap water or filtered water from the refrigerator, only bottled spring water.
even 4g is enough to cause cancer, depending on strength, and closeness to the source of radiation
Sty strong keep up the fight!
I'm surprised they don't switch to online learning until this is resolved.
No kidding! There is no way in hell I would let my kids go into that building! Nobody should be allowed in there until they figure it out!
Guys lol… and what makes you think it’s at the SCHOOL and not, say, community water? Or they live near chemical plants? I agree SOMETHING sounds very wrong, but y’all use your brains! It could be in the community as well, and in that case, homeschooling and online wouldn’t do a thing (or would make it worse for some kids).
@@butwhytho4858 If it was in the environment, I would think even more people would be affected. The school seems to be the common denominator. Obviously more research needs to be done but hopefully they find the source soon, wherever it is.
@@reneelabute5649 could be old pipes, using the school fountains is probably the reason.
@@reneelabute5649 it depends on how big this town is in New Jersey though.. if it’s small enough that there’s only one high school that everyone attended, then it would make sense that the school “seems” to be the common denominator. When in fact it could be something completely different, such as the water supply or a nearby chemical plant that has been leaching chemicals into the earth, poisoning the very ground they walk on and the water the water they drink. There could be many different reasons for why this is happening.
These people better get the justice they deserve.
Call D'Oliveira & Associates, right now!
It's a long, uphill battle in situations like this, but I agree. This is unacceptable.
Never gonna happen. I’m 67 now and witnessed hi Gs like this thousands and thousands of times and never once was anyone held accountable.
...more life with a tumor free brain?
But first got to know what cause it though.
Something environmentally bad is in the land the school is sitting on. No way would any sane person go anywhere near there - just not worth the risk.
Correct.
During WW2, a secret lab conducted nuclear research for the atom bomb, resulting in the radioactive contamination of the surrounding soil. When said soil was removed from the area, some of the contaminated soil was used in construction around the time the high school was.
TLDR, the government did a big fucky.
@@hoteltapwater - Yes, they did.
What do you do if your kids go there?
@WesBurgess posted about a test site for bombs ?? during WW2 I believe. I have no idea where his comment went, but it basically talked about the chemicals leaking into the soil where that school stands. I would have the current students there checked for cancer. Alert the media to get facts about what was there before that school was built. I wouldn’t waste time to find out what is going on.
@Megan O uranium work and atomic bomb testing in ww2
“The school remains open”…why hasn’t the health department shut them down? That’s some bs. They should be outraged and the parents are silly for not snatching their children out of there.
Yeah there’s definitely something environmental going on there
Apparently some comment said it was a site of destruction of uranium in WW ii very close to this schl
My son would be out of there so fast
We don’t know if parents are already pulling their kids out, and it would be quite unfair to put a hard and abrupt stop to the children’s education and essentially putting the staff out of a job. It should be up to them what they should do in this situation, now that it has been uncovered.
They'll close all schools due to covid, but not this?!?!
So, just to clear things up, the people in the immediate vicinity ARE in danger. They're in danger until the cause is revealed- THEN we can say whether or not they're in danger.
Honestly, if I were a teenager, this would've been the best excuse not to go to school. Use it, kids.
Exactly!! They need to immediately shut that school DOWN and test every last surface and structural piece on this EDIFICE!!! Why is there even a delay?!?
@@BeneGesseritSaya you're an idiot 🙄
Well they technically have been exposed their whole lives by now. If it is radiation concerns, then it is too late for evacuation tbh.
The only reason the scum bag authorities are saying otherwise is because they don't want to lose people going to the school or even getting out of town, it's sad to see these people are the people who we trust our lives with
my research tells me there is over 200,000 brain tumors discovered in america each year, and only 24,000 high schools, over 30 years you could find over 200 people with brain tumors from the same high school or any high school and be considered "normal" or "average"
For them to say people aren’t in danger, they actually have no idea.
“Not in immediate danger” I mean that’s true, it’ll take like 20 years for the tumor to develop lol
Exactly what I was thinking!
@@sophiel9533 that feels 🧢 to me. They had no clue there was an issue in the first place now they are advising no need to panic. Not convincing or comforting.
any damage that will be done has likely already been done, seems unlikely to me that the duration of the investigation would be the difference between tumor and not; but you never know I guess.
@@randomizednamme if your kid is about to go to that high school the damage is not already done.
My mom was born and raised in Jersey. She died at 45 from brain cancer. Wonder if there is a connection….
My condolences that’s so young😢
I hope you get you brain checked too!
The school is located about 11 miles from a nuclear bomb development site called the Middlesex Sampling Plant. (The plant has since been closed.) It’s theorized that radioactive waste had been disposed into the soil. The school was built in 1967, and some speculate that the school was built directly on top of the contaminated soil. Did your mom live around that area?
Literally just found out my sister has one this past summer and it’s covering a huge portion of her brain; this is so crazy cause we are also from NJ
Omg praying for your sister and family!
I hope your sister gets better!
Thanks so much everyone! ❤️
Send prayers for your sister!!❤
I hope she gets better.
“We are working on it” translates to “ we are sweeping it under the rug as fast as we can”. Similar cancer cases going back years and the school district wants to play dumb.
My mother died at the age of 34 (1981) from a very aggressive form of leukemia…where did she attend HS? Middlesex. She researched it and found many other alumni who died of the same cancer. It was proven that WW2 radium was dumped in that location and a HS was built over it.
So it was known then why is that school still open
This is awful! There was a cancer cluster in a suburb near where I grew up, and that was truly scary to hear. I am sorry for all of the suffering & I hope they find out more soon to hopefully prevent more illnesses.
Did they figure out what caused it?
Prevention is the best cute
@@kcpoodlesofpa they were always saying it was a water contaminate from the tower, but then we never heard anything after about 5 years of reporting on it. I believe there was contaminated water. :( but some others say there was evidence of this building substance called “Chinese drywall”
@@katiem4539 wow
This is so concerning.
If anyone is ever brave enough to publish a cancer map, where you see the rates of cancers near the vicinities of factories and certain industrial plants, the people would riot. 🤭
I really don't want to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but no one should trust the authorities with this. If they can, they should bring in their own independent investigators. It's already statistically impossible that this is a fluke, there **HAS TO BE** an environmental link to these cases. The authorities will be highly motivated to absolve themselves of liability, it's like asking a murder suspect to investigate themselves.
Well said, and don’t ever be ashamed to be labeled a “conspiracy theorist”. Wear it as a badge of courage. It was the CIA that invented that term several decades ago to muddy the waters and discredit whistleblowers who saw through their corrupt, nefarious bullshite.
Why isn’t other media’s talking about this more.... something is wrong within the school ......the school shouldn’t be open until it is figured out
They are too busy talking about fake slap.
Funny to me how a patient not the medical professionals found this cluster. But then the medical community says it’s no need for those in that area to be alarmed . My thoughts and prayer are with this community and I hope answers are found and people look to not only western but holistic medicine and prevention as well. 🙏💖
the experts said they are not in *immediate* danger. which is technically true
Holistic is eastern medicine?
How would the medial professionals put that together? Not everyone goes to the same cancer hospitals and not everyone stays in town so it’s not as if they can trace it and no one before him (not medical) connected the dots. It was a stab in the dark that turned out to be true when people responded. Right now the last thing needed is a mass panic but to get the evidence. If it’s toxic soil or water that’s contributing to this they have to investigate to find possible causes. Personally I would shut down the school but at the same time the school itself may not be the cause.
@@itazuranakisu statistics are taken all the time everywhere. That how we get statistics and demographical information. That area has a cancer rate 50 times the normal and no one catches on. Even if they have different doctors the medical community of that region could have taken initiative just like that man did if medicine is truly about care and prevention. I stick to my original statement
@@fitrianhidayat not immediate until it’s too late, yes, brilliant health strategy.
It’s a high school, so presumably these kids were exposed for 4 years max. I wonder if any data has been collected on teachers and staff, especially those who may have worked here for some time.
Watch the video. The count includes the faculty and staff.
Thanks. I rewatched and saw the reference to 104 students and staff. Still though, it would be interesting to know how many staff are among the 104 affected. I am curious whether there were staff who worked there 20 to 30 years and developed the same type of cancer after many years of exposure, or did they have problems after a shorter period of exposure (similar to the students). I don’t envy the parents of children attending this school today. The epidemiological investigation will likely take some time; meanwhile parents with concerns will have to decide whether to send their kids to this school or not.
I went to this school. Fuck..
@@MikeCollado7 ~ There are some good videos by Dr. Berg and others here on CZcams that can help you detox. I'm not saying it's a cure-all, but it might help. I was exposed to a huge amount of pesticides back in the late 70's and now I have mini seizures around fragrances such as cologne and perfume. The chemicals they put in the fragrances in most household/beauty products today are very dangerous and some of them are chemically similar to what is in pesticides. I have a suggestion, try to give up wearing cologne.... and avoid anything with fragrance in it, like plug-in air fresheners, scented laundry detergent/dryer sheets, ect. Try to use fragrance-free instead. The fragrance industry has gone berserk in recent decades. They do not have to reveal what chemicals are used in their products since it is considered a "trade secret'. Most of the ingredients that have been tested are carcinogens! I hope you are safe from any harm from whatever is in that school.
@@MikeCollado7 get checked out better safe than sorry
Sounds like a class action lawsuit for some environmental toxicity.
Can you imagine how many more will come in the future. This is a very sad story. My heart goes out to all...
I hope not my ex went to this school..even though he did me dirty this is absolutely scary & should be shut down!!
Exactly
Reminds me of the cluster of brain and central nervous system cancers in children found in the 1990’s in Toms River, NJ which is less than 1 hour from this schools location…both have military waste and environmental pollution in common. And of course, ‘experts’ also said don’t worry in Toms River. May they find justice and peace.
This happened to my family and neighborhood but it was Pulmonary Sarcoidosis. There is a tire manufacturing company close by most of the employees don’t make it retirement age because of pulmonary problems. The problem is the company has enough money to keep the lawsuit going and we are all dying off.
Erin Brockovich type people needed
Where is the factory?
I too have developed Pulmonary Sarcoidosis and live in a city with quite a bit of pollution from one of the factories here. They have 'scrubbers' on the 'smoke' stacks....but you can still smell the stink much of the time. I hope they find a cure soon for your sake and the others in your family!
Sounds like the story of the radium girls. It's horrible that this happens over and over again
This is terrible I hope they fix this. And I hope they are doing well. You can't sweep this under the rug it's only going to keep getting worst.
It will get swept under the rug
That's just plain alarming, I'm not understanding how any officials could say their children aren't in any danger.
What a shame for all of these people to go through this from the same school! Prayers going out for all effected and I pray that the answers come forward with the cause of it . GOD BLESS AL , you hang in there
Investigate the school lunches, drinking water, and environmental factors near the school
This is absolutely one of the most disturbing and frightening stories I’ve ever seen?!?!
Some corporate chemical company and or branch of government used this school as a controlled testing site.
The truth will never come out unfortunately.
This is heartbreaking. I’d be devastated if it was my child.
This is insane. Why aren’t more people talking about this? Also can someone explain why the engineers are using strollers to test for radiation? It’s at 1:53
Lol, good question. Unsure to the answer, but maybe it could be related to keeping the machines a consistent distance from the ground and to make them more maneuverable. Looks like they had an iPad on the handlebars, so besides reading info, they could perhaps be mapping out the campus as they roll around. Maybe the stroller was just faster and cheaper than inventing something just for this purpose?
@@Emiliapocalypse I agree, it also makes sense to use something with a relatively smooth ride to make maneuvering in a zero degree way easy to do. They don't want to miss a section because they weren't sweeping that way at that moment or had to make a wider turn to continue. I bet the seat of the strollers held their equipment steady and safely so they didn't have to carry it.
If I’m not wrong the stroller looking thing gets Info from the bottom something like that
Looking for lost babies
Maybe use real equipment and do a real study and not take the baby for a stroll.
not necessarily just the highschool. May just be that all the kids in the area attended that highschool, but still environmental. They should look at the entire town for people diagnosed no just the highschool
Very valid point!
I cant stand how these people just smile as they present these stories.
That whole area from Edison, Woodbridge, and Carteret had radioactive materials transported by train in the 50s and 60s. The government needs to be held accountable.
They need to be held accountable for many things.
in the mid 90's in Westland, Michigan (suburb of Detroit) a bunch of kids at an elementary school started getting sick with some type of lymphoma. Soil and other tests revealed the presence of drums of toxic waste that had been discarded and forgotten - the land later acquired by the city and used to build schools. the schools were eventually shut down, a fence put up around the perimeter but it was too dangerous to try extracting the actual decomposing drums so it's still underground there leaking radioactive waste under Ann arbor trail Rd. Right next to the rouge river/large groundwater tables. maybe they thought it's too much of a lost cause to try cleaning the land now that the radiation has dispersed so far, IDK. the attempts to clean/dispose of contaminated land are still pathetic, all the money our government wastes on wars they couldn't bother to take care of our actual homeland..
Farmers and other land owners used to accept cash in exchange for allowing factory owners to bury waste on their property (it was cheaper to bury than to properly store/dispose of but at the time the industrial revolution began - there WAS no law regulating the disposal...) none of it was documented and at least 3/4 of the sites are still unknown. Even sites that have known industrial waste buried on the grounds, cities still knowingly put schools and community centers in these locations without any regard for health consequences.
it's interesting that they're only looking for radiation when there's literally dozens of other occupational carcinogens that are not radioactive. definitely looks like a half-hearted "investigation"
Extremely important information.
Wow it's scary not knowing what's under your feet
If it gives off heat it's radioactive.
I did some digging on this story. It’s possible that your speculation might be accurate. The school is located about 11 miles from a nuclear bomb development site called the Middlesex Sampling Plant. (The plant has since been closed.) It’s theorized that radioactive waste had been disposed into the soil. The school was built in 1967, and some speculate that the school was built directly on top of the contaminated soil.
Wow. Blessings to you all
I drove through NJ twice in the past 40 years and even years later I remember the strong chemical stench in the air that occured in several places.
My grandpa was diagnosed with a brain tumor around 1986 and died about 2 years later. He was from north Jersey originally too.
They need to test the drinking water.
Not a great transition.... all the hosts laughing and smiling during the intro...
I'd pull my child out of there so fast!!
It doesn’t have to be that school. It could be in that town. I would move far away from that town.
@@SN-bl6xm oh I agree! But I'd definitely start there. All of those people attended or worked at that school.
This is devastating. My heart goes out to all
I did some research and I’m confident that it’s the water pipes in the school! The school was built in 1967 meaning the water lines used were most likely made of lead. The installation of lead pipes wasn’t banned until 1986 but the law doesn’t prevent the use of existing installed lead water pipes. They’re testing for radioactivity when that’s not the issue! There were also reports of abnormally high levels of Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA) being found in their local water supply. While current data and reports suggest this chemical it’s not linked to brain tumors and brain cancer at the moment, it is linked to mammary,liver, and testicular cancer. It is also considered a “forever chemical” since our bodies can’t break down the chemical. Maybe the city changed water sanitation processes and didn’t consider the adverse effect it may have on lead pipes in older buildings and the people/children inside of the buildings. This change in water sanitation may have led to an issue of lead leaching in the schools water supply. Regardless, I definitely think whoever’s investigating this needs to take a look into the school and city’s water.
They should change the lead pipes a long time ago, also the new lead & copper rule update obligates the municipalities to do it since the Flint Michigan issue( is in Netflix) btw, scandal because of upper management, and irresponsible and negligence that involve politics too.
@@Angelica-go5ml Vice President Harris is focusing aggressively on lead removal issue.
@@miltonkarl664 DOH and EPA. I don't think this issue was because of the water. Also, don't trust politicians and this is an old issue that everyone is been working on since a long time ago. The US has water plants operator with state licenses working 24/7, so the water is tested 24/7 here for everything. It is not like the softener vendors said and the consumers should have the CCR Letter every year with that information , even in the website can be found and the person should know the quality of the water and everything. So educate better your self and have a good day. Im busy working. Knowledge is Power.
Wouldn’t tons of schools/areas still have lead pipes though?
But does lead cause brain tumors?
My parents are from New Jersey and everyone on both sides of the family has died from cancer and had one or two forms of cancer.
Hmm. Sounds to me like they need to shut the city down. That will be a ghost town soon.
NJ was prime dumping grounds in the 60's They dumped stuff in the Pine Barrens that would blow your mind. I knew several guys from south Philly when I was growing up who dumped barrels of unknown crap for years. As great as NJ really is its a shame we've irreparably damaged so many areas.
This. I possibly assume that some of it got near under the ground of the school building and went into the water. Because the cases seem to be almost only coming from the HS. It's also possible that there are carcinogenic parasites (which can also cause cancer btw). They really need to investigate this. This is actually a lot more concerning than Covid-19.
The NO2 concentration over most of New Jersey is quite a bit above average. There is a study out (Long-term exposure to ambient air pollution and incidence of brain tumours: The Danish Nurse Cohort) in the National Library of Medicine that actually relates NO2 exposure to brain tumors over a 15+ year period with 28,000+ participants. Kids born and raised in this air pollution could be affected... I wonder if parents are even aware of this?
Do you remember all of the women in Tom’s River, New Jersey..they all had breast or ovarian cancer. Like half of the town..
@@mobutter2879 interesting but if thats true then surely everyone in Korea would have it too. We get the worse airpollution, especially in spring
What’s NO2
100 is a big number for a simple coincidence. Reminds me of the Erin Brockovich story
Anytime they say not to worry it's always a time to worry..
What about the teachers? If it is the school, I would think that the rate of brain tumors in the teachers would be pretty high, right? Likely, most of them would have been exposed for more than 4 years, even.
Staff and students were included in the 104 cases they spoke about.
Kid brains are more susceptible
These reporters are sociopaths. Their smirks and unthinking cheery dispositions considering this news are nauseating. We yak about empathy but I'll be damned if we embody it.
They open like its just another Story.. reporting like shallow airheads ... This one in particular which needs a serious Investigation covering
this Story.. Its not just lacking in any standard of professionalism Its the standard of all MSM today.. just doing their Jobs.. challenge nothing ..
And it goes deeper than that ..
"Don't look up"
So true.
I was wondering if anyone else noticed. Inappropriate.
Same. I noticed it too
Oh my goodness! Im glad they are finally lookin into it, I hope they can find the reason because something isn’t right there. Im so sorry for these people and their families 💔
I remember years ago seeing something on kids in a California high school also getting a lot of cancers for such a young age. The school was right by an oil drilling area.
I went to this high school. What their not saying is did all these people live in the same neighborhoods. Since the kids that go there come from one town and half of another town.
I bet the water is contaminated. I had this problem where I live. A landfill used to be in the area. There was a civil suit in the 90s bc there was a cluster of deformed babies being born in the area. Garbage toxins contaminated the land and eventually the water. There is a large empty field till this day that's fenced off. Within 3 miles on every side of it there's no new homes, just old abandoned ones. Lots of contaminated and tainted land in Jersey
There is no way in hell I would stay in that town. I would pull my kids out of school and sell my house. I would go anywhere else.
Yes Alaska are perfect for go fresh air less pollution
How is this not a bigger story?
Same thing happened to students at a university a few years ago. They all had eye cancers. All of them lost an eye. Doctors need to check for parasitic infections.
which town, which university
Which?
Wtf?? That’s crazy! Something is wrong with that piece of land.
It's not the land, its human activity on the land.
@@a.e.rromero5403 It's the land. That whole area is polluted.
This is some Erin Brokavich stuff right here.
Why is the school open during investigation? The city should be protecting its residents when large evidence like this is revealed.
My coworker, who’s from Colonia, was just talking about this. This is insane.
I'm old enough to remember the term "Superfund" site. Those were areas acknowledged to be hazardously contaminated with either nuclear or chemical waste poisons where no one could live or build until those sites were decontaminated. Somewhere along the way those sites were memory-holed. My parents ended up buying a retirement condo on top of one of them. They both passed within 8 years of weird aggressive cancer and fatal dementia, no preexisting conditions and neither sick in their lives except for occasional colds.
In my hometown, there's 4 people that live on the same road that all had been diagnosed with brain cancer. So weird.
I'd be relocating from that town immediately. What are the odds?!
That area should be abandoned now!!! Many people got sick and its not coincidences!
The school should be shut down immediately until the investigation is over.
Horrifying. Imagine being from that school and reading this.
Perhaps cleaning products used during that time while students were in class. My father died of brain cancer. They linked it to a cleaning product that was used in the office building in New Mexico. Very scary.
SHUT DOWN THE SCHOOL!!! WTF?!?!
If its not one thing its another.God bless that entire county because these type of things,mentally effect family members and friends as well🙏🏿
Well apparently this god character isn't blessing them.
Brain tumor is no joke. It can actually be fatal. I hope this gets investigated more thoroughly. This should have never happened in the first place. Peoples’ lives are at risk.
So glad you took the time to inform us of the seriousness of brain tumors. Thank you so much. Who knew?
@@supermarioisacat exactly like wtf.
I went to this school from 2007 to 2013. There are super ups and downs they had every year. And this came along, the more I’m worried and the more I decided to sending them any money as donating to ends my high school’s worst nightmare. I’m praying for them. I hope that they’ll be okay very soon.
You went there as a student or teacher?
@@nayjavu student
Learning Disabilities might be a symptom too. 😳💯
@@petercorzo3407 how did you attend for 6? I entered high school in ‘08 and graduated ‘12 I mean technically I should have graduated in ‘13 late birthday but still…
A unfortunate situation, my thoughts are with the people who have been diagnosed and that a reason is found 🙏💕
AN unfortunate not A!!!
May those who passed rest in paradise 💖 Justice for these people
Doesn't surprise me. That whole area is polluted.
Not in danger?! I would be getting to the source on whats causing this and hire a good lawyer. Someone is hiding something. Brain tumurs just don't happen like this in families.
Oh in families sure. Different kinds of cancer are well known to run in families because of a genetic predisposition. It'd still be little weird to have that many people get sick at once but the cancer-genetics interplay is weird.
Now that same cancer in that many people from different families, no, that's gotta be something environmental.
This story told us NOTHING MORE THAN THE HEADLINE
I graduated from chs in 2017 i can assure you this school takes nothing serious. The staff doesnt nor does the township
LMFAO 🥴I hope you’re ok at least.. or maybe I should check in after a couple of years🤭
You’re way too calm with this comment 😂
I feel so sorry for these people, loosing to cancer is so horrible
Why are they not investigating more and closing the school? First health care is so expensive and unaffordable and so I education and now we are being punished by both? Wtf
Brain tumor here 10 years out but went to a school nearby.
So imagine all the kids that have gone to and still go to this school....
This is truly horrible. I hope they find the cause. My thoughts for all who have brain tumors. 😞
This happened except with small children having a rare form of cancer in our small town. They think it is connected with a chemical spill that happened back in the 80's
Wow. Kudos to the lead guy in the story for thinking to investigate further. I wouldn't imagine the school itself is the source, though of course it could be, but more likely something nearby with toxic pollutants in the air, water, soil, etc. Very sad regardless.
Are they testing kids who are attending the school and the recent graduates to see if it's a concern now? Test the kids who exhibit symptoms and do random testing for kids who's been exposed to the school in New Jersey longer rather than incoming freshman and transfer students.
These people graduated over 30 years ago. I'm guessing even if the kids now are being exposed to it, they probably won't develop cancer until they're much older.
Test the teachers who have been there for more than 4 years.
@@bbb_888 right why didn't I think about the teacher who has been working years consistently. That would give a more accurate result and representation.
I don't think there is a test for a pre-brain tumor!
I'd start to home school my kids immediately.
If it's the neighborhood that wouldn't help. Presumably they all live in the same town.
its not just the school building - its the entire surrounding area
Beautiful sister. Sorry for your loss.
This is crazy!
What's even more crazier is reading the comments here and finding out the death threatening illnesses because of somebody's negligent and Reckless Behavior.
Muito Triste noticia,. Força as familias e as pessoas envolvidas nesta tragedia que Deus passa na frente🙏🏽
Wow this is like my neighborhood, I was born and raised in NJ maybe 10 mins away from colonia on the garden state. Nearly every one who has passed in my neighborhood had cancer.
Holy fucking shit they need the Feds to close the school🤬🤬
