What happened to the rest of the crew? --Khazar 07:20, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

I was wondering the same thing. The closest I've been able to find for a follow-up is here, via a Google search. --138.28.140.198 07:34, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] only victim hydrogen bomb?

He is considered to be the first victim of a hydrogen bomb, but I was wondering : what others are there (apart from other crewmembers of course)?

I understand that this is not such an easy question, one is never sure how much radiation has contributed to someone's earlier death

[edit] About 100 Boats? Guess again

From the City of Hiroshima official website on the matter:

The Lucky Dragon No. 5 was not the only victim of the hydrogen bomb test. By the end of December 1954, 856 boats had been exposed to radiation from testing. Called "A-bomb tuna," roughly 490 tons of the fish caught by these boats had to be discarded. Around Japan, various people related to the fishing industry saw their sales fall and raised their voices in anger. Around May, rain containing radioactive material began falling, intensifying the climate of fear in Japan.

[edit] Distance from ground zero?

How far was the lucky dragon no.5 from ground zero? What was the circumference of the US imposed danger zone? Can anyone fill these gaps? (Downs 22:19, 28 July 2006 (UTC))
