Chicago Pile-1 ... A Nuke Under Chicago !?!?

There is a saying, sometimes it is better to ask for forgiveness rather than permission. That saying sometimes goes into the mind of scientists. Which can go one of two ways either really good or really bad. One such time when scientists rolled the dice would be in the beginning of World War 2, when a group of scientists decided it would be a good idea to put a nuke, a nuclear reactor under a stadium in the city of Chicago. No this isn’t about the batman movie this actually happened this is the tale of Chicago Pile 1.
