This variation of Kraz, heavy truck created specifically for cleaning up Chernobyl mess, was created in 20 days and had a fully lead cabin. None of them of course made back to clean territories. Overall, 18 of these trucks were made in 1986.
‘As late as 1919, Chinese laborers remained in France and Belgium to help clear the rubble, bury the dead, and clean up the battlefields.
It was an extremely unpleasant and “often sadly tragic duty, because so little training was provided, or directions understood, and Chinese labor was unprepared for handling unspent explosives such as hand grenades. Shells from cannon fire were still turning up in mangled woods and long-abandoned trenches, though the cleanup crews were usually wise enough to avoid tampering with the larger items of potential destruction. But with the grenades, some Chinese workers would, in their naive innocence, sometimes pick them up and shake them, even holding them close to their ear to detect suspected sound, as if they were conch shells, and of course, some had their heads or limbs blown off. A bare handful of officers supervising hundreds of Chinese in the bombarded woods and fields of Flanders did what they could to interrupt and warn the workers of the dangerous terrain, but there were always a few casualties.’

Yes young black king! You better go head!
His name is Stephen R. Stafford and he would have been set to graduate from med school even earlier if there wasn’t a rule that said he had to be 16 to graduate from high school.
He’s also a talented classical pianist - he’s been playing piano since he was two years old.
Someonne told me the other day our generation was lazy. HA!
Our generation IS lazy. This is one hard-working motherfucker
