If so I'll have to check it out.
At the time my family and I were actually in W. Germany (Army brat - I was 12) so there's some definite interest. We had to stay indoors for about a week and a half to 2 weeks, ate canned food and drank bottled water or soda in cans. I don't remember exactly how many days we had to stay in the house, but to a kid it seemed like forever.
Lot of excitement at first (initially reported as a nuclear detonation inside the Soviet Union that the US military might have caused) and there was some talk about all dependents being evacuated, but in a short amount of time the radiation carried on the wind made it to us. Then boredom and irritation from being cooped up in the house with my four sisters and my mom. Ended up being pretty uneventful except for the uncertainty.
I know the basic details of what caused it, but never read anything in-depth about it.
