  • this is where the population of Kwajalein was moved after the US air base was established there.(like enough wasnt done to these people by the atomic testing.) 10000 people live on this, one tenth of a square mile of treeles desease ridden dirt that is Ebeye, 3 miles away on a ferry from the 10 times larger Kwajalein, that has a population of only 3000.(us personel) Disgraceful.
  • Thats where they live since they work on Kwaj - otherwise, they'd be fishing for a living!
