4:06Now PlayingIn the years since the September 11 attacks, the U.S. government has spent billions in the name of fighting terrorism. However, America has largely ignored one critical threat: dirty bombs. According to Steven Brill, the author of The Atlantic’s September 2016 cover story “Are We Any Safer?”, a dirty bomb is easy to construct and potentially disastrous. In this video, Brill explains what would happen to Washington, D.C. if a dirty bomb were to hit, and how the federal government can and should prepare its citizens for such a destabilizing event.
