This Article needs serious help, please visit
for further factual information. For example, she died in a car crash on her way back from a union meeting, not to it as claimed in the "Death" section
I did re-read the Los Alamos document. Nowhere does it say Silkwood was on her way back from the meeting in Oklahoma City when she crashed. Furthermore, I never saw such a statement in any source I consulted about the event.

The Los Alamos report tells of where she was coming from (a union meeting) but not where she was going to (the subject of the "Death" section) --Kstern999 05:43, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

what up

There is (was) an article in the January 1977 Rolling Stone magazine that (if factual) casts loads of suspicion on Kerr-McGee. The author of the article goes as far as to claim that the skid marks from the crash were (mysteriously) paved over before A private investigator could examine the scene.

[edit] Silkwood, her partner and housemate were sent to Los Alamos National Laboratory for in-depth testing

This sentence is ambiguous - how many people are we talking about, two or three? Was her "partner" also her housemate? (btw, does partner mean boyfriend, girlfriend, tennis partner, what?) If we're talking about three people, "her partner and a housemate" might work better. 24.90.17.134 03:57, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Coroner's Report

There's no citation on the Coroner's Report? Shouldn't something like that be on public file? In point of fact, several of the alternate theories in the death section seem to be marked 'citation needed'. I'm really rather interested in doing some follow up research, but these uncited claims make me... twitchy. --Knnos (talk) 07:33, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
