This is what happens when business people abandon a radiation source to save money, and the public is so poorly educated that they’re attracted to Cherenkov radiation, thinking of it as “magical,” instead of running away as fast as they can.

The people running the clinic should have safely disposed of the equipment as soon as they decided to close it down. Even though one of the owners did return and tried to belatedly handle this but was stopped by obstruction from officials, it should have never have reached this point. It wasn’t poorly educated people who have any responsibility for this tragedy; it was the doctors running the clinic and government officials who deserve all the blame.
