How did the car come of the wrong side of the road? Why was it on the wrong side of the road? Why was it so far from the road? There was nothing wrong with the car. Karen Silkwood was a good driver. Everybody knew that!
But some people were not happy about the accident. First of all, her boyfriend Drew stephens. Also a newspaper journalist from the new york times and a union official newspaper journalist from WASHINGTON. These three men were waiting Karen on the night of the accident. She was bringing them some papers and some photographs in a big brown envelope. The papers were very important. The men were waiting for Karen in a hotel room a few miles from the accident. But she never arrived. When they heard about the accident, the men looked for the brown envelope at once. They looked for it inside the white car. They looked for it at the hospital and at the police station.the next morning they looked all around the wall and in the river, but they never found it. Nobody ever found that brown envelope.
Wow! You’re supposed to be memorializing the life of Karen Silkwood and the work she was doing to protect people by improving conditions and addressing safety concerns in the nuclear energy sector but your entire article is full of big glaring mistakes!
ReplyDelete• There was no river, it was a drainage ditch
• There was no bridge, it was a culvert
• The car was a white 1973 Honda Civic
• The car hit the wingwall of the culvert head-on and came to rest on all 4 wheels, not on its side
• The accident happened about 7 miles outside of Crescent Oklahoma, and about 30 miles away from the Holiday Inn where Drew Stephens, OCAW Union official Steve Wodka and New York Times reporter David Burnham had gathered and were waiting for Karen and her documents to arrive
• Who is this union newspaper journalist from Washington? The OCAW Union didn’t have a newspaper or journalists
• I don’t imagine that Karen Silkwood’s boyfriend would be happy about her car accident or her death, that’s a given
• Karen Silkwood was 28 years old at the time of her death
• Karen Silkwood died in a car accident on November 13th 1974
• I’m not sure what that picture is but that’s not the car that Karen Silkwood died in, nor is that the culvert, nor is that the highway she died on
Get it right! This woman was real. She was a Mom and tried to help and paid the ultimate price. The least you could do is tell her story accurately!
Someone needs remedial English. The grammar here, is atrocious. Not to mention the gross inaccuracy of the facts concerning Karen Silkwood's death. Wow. So poorly done.
