Was anyone else amused the news article is titled "U.S. Attacks Iran and Saudi Arabia", but the video thumbnail shows tanks driving through snow?

While I too found this observation funny, they sometimes do have "winters" in Iran. Google "snow in Tehran" for collection of beautiful pictures.

Yep, it does indeed help to grasp the concept when you think of "released becquerels" (which by itself still sounds silly no matter how I look at it) in terms of mass-equivalent. Thanks!

Could someone care explaining what becquerels per day exactly means? 1Bq = 1 nucleus decay / second. So what the hell is "1.2 to 1.3 × ... becquerels per day"?
