A gaping hole was left on a small island in the Pacific Ocean when the United States military released an 18-kiloton nuclear blast in 1958, known as the 'Cactus' test.
Bikini atoll? They scraped all the top dirt off the island as well as anything else they thought was remotely nuclear and threw it into a big hole, then capped it with cement.
Now folks are worried the waves are getting into it and leaching all sorts of nasty into the ocean and island water table.

So the oceans rising have found another way to fuck us over. Good to know!
