Former workers who entombed a radioactive waste site in the Pacific Ocean left a clear message before completing their work: a middle finger. According to Paul Griego, 62, who survived efforts to construct a giant dome on the Enewetak Atoll at Runit Island, a site used by the US government to test 30 megatons of weapons between 1948 and 1958, workers left a statute of the gesture to warn future visitors who may have happened upon the site. Griego said they called the monument the 'Runit Salute.'
