Marie Curie is my role model! I handle radioactive sources everyday, hope I don't get killed by it. Though I work with gamma ray for research I am against nuclear power for Nigeria. Nuclear power is among the cleanest source of power but we Nigerians are not security conscious enough to handle it. 3 Likes |

abdulaz: They died during testing, not what they hoped for and the mistakes or lapses that led to their death were corrected by other inventors/scientists/engineers. We have hundreds of them like that, and they're the reason we can communicate the world in seconds and travel the world in hours. It started with them, they attempts sucidal inventions to make things better and that's why they're better. 2 Likes |

Nicknamed “Flying Tailor“, Franz Reichelt was an Austrian-born French tailor, inventor and parachuting pioneer. Reichelt was working on a suit for aviators that would convert into a parachute and allow them to survive a fall froma plane. Initial experiments conducted with dummies dropped from the fifth floor of his apartment building had been successful so he decided to do the ultimate test by himself. He put his invention on and jumped off the Eifel Tower but the parachute failed to deploy and he crashed into the icy ground at the foot of the tower. The fall killed him immediately. 2 Shares

RobinHez: Marie was like a burning fire. Her passion was deep and infectious. I read about her and mehn...this was one brilliant and gorgeous woman. In 2009, she was voted the most inspirational woman in science. The element with atomic number 96 was named "curium" after her or her husband. I'd rather die for something than die for nothing. 10 Likes 3 Shares |

That brazen bull though. Seems i read its still in use till now.... Amongst secret occult groups Curie seems to be the only one that's an achiever among the list. HIS makes sense. |

Micheal Faraday...he was a french born scientist, he invented electricity...but during d test of his invention he forgot that electrons can not be stoped with hand so he tried stopping the flow of electrons with and unfortunately he was electrocuted and that was how he died....R.I.P...Faraday 4 Likes |

People die for nothing, were in their homes and Dana crashed in, we are all going to die someday, it's a certain eventuality! They died for what they believed in, had a passion for. I can't think of a better way to die 1 Like |

RobinHez: Yes we will all die. Some for good reasons others for not too good reason. But nuclear power in Nigeria is NOT A GOOD REASON!!! I work with very low level gamma radiation everyday here in Nigeria and there is no protection whatsoever for me but I do it because I am passionate about my work. If there is no protection for low level radiation what makes you think there will be for high level nuclear energy? In Nigeria the politics of who is of your religion and who is your brother will not allow us to put the best hands to work. Even then the materials involved in nuclear energy production is not such as to be toyed with but here we play with everything. Some one may decide not to release the control rods needed in the plant simply because he wants you to know that he is in control. In fact we can even sell some of the spare parts to make money for ourselves or keep the file of urgent request for the plant simply because our palm need to be greased. 2 Likes |

Oh! I never knew it was radioactive emission that killed Marie Curie. I've got one question: If Marie died of exposure to radioactive emission, what killed Henri and Perie? Because, history have it that they all worked on the project together. 1 Like |
