250 DASA 2019-2 DOBSON: The Spaniards had better monitoring data when you got there than the Americans had? Is that what you mean? LANGHAM: Not necessarily better, but they had contributed to the fact that there was quite a bit of data of a preliminary nature by the time I got there. They could show crude contour plots and where the accident occurred and what way the wind was Liowing and other useful data. DOBSON: How did you find out whether anybedy had a real snooi- ful of this stuff? LANGHAM: Largely on intuition, there I was completely relaxed. Within an hour after I was This was one of these situations where the circumstances were all just right. If we do this again, we may be in trouble because we have had a!l our luck on this one, The wind was blowing right, the people weren't in the field and pieces of the airplane fell beside pecple but not on them, It's just one of these things where everything broke right; there are, of course, the lasting effects, as you might expect. From the psychological point of view it may interest you that here - was @ community in which there was no class distirction whatsoever ard now there is class distinction—the man who got compensated as _ Opposed to the man who didn't.

One woman has been deathly sick ever since and, of course, it's due to plutonium. This was the woman who was standing in her.front yard when a burning American body fell right et her feet. She tried to put it out by scraping and putting sand on it and she's been sick ever gince, I think if I had done that I would nrobably be sick, too. But, of course, they think the logical thing in this is that the plutonium is making her sick because she was down in the dust scooping it up and so she must be full of plutonium and she'll not return to her home. Every time an animal dies, of course, the question docs come up. ‘chere have been agitators in and the population will flare up and there will be a little demonstration, Some of their own authorities ‘come in and quiet it down. So this is a game, you see, and there are a lot of psychological implications to ail of this that I would just like to hear you people speak about. _ SPEAR: Was there any period when the farmers were looking out and seeing their prized cash crop being bulldozed into piles and not having any idea that they would be compensated for it?
