Garcia is a father of two young children. He is only 32 years of age, but looks much older. All his body hair has fallen out and he walks with the slow shuffling movements of an old and infirm man. It is a tremendous effort just to cross his living room floor. His test results confirm that he is contaminated by a long list of toxic materials including titanium, but the most worrying is uranium.
Some families have more than one member affected.
Ava Torres, who contracted cancer of the uterus in 1994, later watched her father die of a stroke. Both cases are believed to be linked to the bombings. Many islanders who have never been on the bombing range itself are nonetheless showing high levels of uranium in medical tests. It is believed that they have picked up metals blown off the bombing range by the strong easterly winds that regularly blow across the island. While conducting the report, the protesters and Chapman came under attack from US troops.
