I'm so sorry Michael for the loss of your Mother. Not knowing all these year has to be very difficult on your heart. Praying for peace of mind for you.
My mother was killed in a car accident when I was 5 years old also. 1958
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢!!
It’s a testament to ethics, determination, and tenacity that this is still being uncovered. She was an amazing woman. Her son is as well.
Typical oklahoma peckawood sh it. Drunk rednecks running women off the road. Damn shame. Killed that poor lady.
cut to now…. hell, cut to another video in your timeline RIGHT NOW, and you will see that corporations are STILL putting teenagers–KIDS–on their assembly, butchery, and killing floors… and click over again and you'll see all kinds of corporate media wailing about a dead millionaire yet decades have passed until anyone dares to speak up about the truth behind Karen Silkwood's death…… hmmm…….. how "far" have we really come????
It is 'murder'. Threatened by another car with 3 men in it including driver, overhauling her. Gun pointed at her. If she really would have been shot, or murdered or assaulted otherwise, we probably will never know. The other vehicle, – police cruiser – slows down, drives close behind her, bumper to bumper. Cruiser uses his horns, although no sirene or police lights; but flashes headlights, blinds her, and makes her go faster and faster. She obviously panics, lost control, flies of the road, hits the concrete drainage viaduct, and is instantly deceased!
I was 10 years old when this happened, what happened silkwood? She was silenced by those who she might have trusted until she got too far into the investigation that she was doing by herself well guess what? Michael, I hope you get your answers and soon because this is ridiculous the little boy and other family members had to spend their lives without her his mother in it for what cutting corners guess what? The truth will prevail and I hope this family gets the truth.
Intimidated then killed by 3 off-duty officers, one MADE A CONFESSION TO ANOTHER OFFICER, those names and the confession were reported to the FBI, and… nothing. No arrests. No investigation of those officers. Case closed – She “fell asleep at the wheel and drove off the road,” (and never mind that her car was crushed like a tin can from the front AND the back). “Law enforcement” my ass. We cannot trust federal agencies to ever do their JOBS because they are always going to look out for themselves and their “brothers in blue” before anyone else.

What a courageous and amazing woman. She needs someone to be as courageous as she was and speak up!!
Damnnnn!
She was murdered no doubt
Rip
All the scientists knew the danger
I hope that they find the people at the Kerr McGee corporation who are responsible for this. They owe the family of Karen Silkwood restitution. Corporations are not above the law. There's a criminal liability on the corporation she worked for. Children in Oklahoma are practically groomed in school to never stand up to their future employers and that's just a part of the culture that needs to change. My deepest condolences to her family for the life they have had to endure without their mother. 🌹🌹
Rip I am sorry 😢 I wasn’t even born then but my condolences 💐🙏
Meryl Streep, Kurt Russell SELLWOOD, 1983. ❤️
Oklahoma, Red State! Democrats did it. (Guys, it's a joke comment; Democrats are given the blame for bad weather even.)
Sounds like Wisconsin Italian owned cheese factories adding chemicals not disclosed on the label!
😮😮 WOW 🤯 chills
When watching this movie I had no clue it was a true story
Do u think her hair style had an impact on her murder
It was a conspiracy to plan to kill her, take away the records from her car, and make it look like an accident! They also planted drugs in her car. They also slightly drugged her, with her drink! This was planned and executed! Bastards 😡
It was an inside job 😏
It looks like she was going 100+ mph when she hit it!
They forgot to mention the paperwork evidence she had against the company…it disappeared when they found her
Boetcher and Sands are heroes. I and my best friends/peers were freshmen in college in ‘74. We are not ones to fall into conspiracy theories. We, to this day, believe that this courageous woman was “hit.”
I remember this. I know where she worked.
Micheal you deserve these answers wish you should have had years ago. I hope that your heart and soul can find restand peace. Also that her final truth is given to all!! My heart and prayers are with you!!🙏💖🪶💞✨️💜
Bla, bla, bla. Did I mention that it's ratings month?
With the great selections of documentaries on Netflix, this would make a great one.
I mean the movies and series are crappy anyway. But Netflix somewhat excels at producing documentaries.
I actually enjoyed them better than the movies and series.
3 cops murdered her, one confessed, the FBI knew and Also covered it up!
Kerr McGee still hides a lot of the crap that goes on.
Don’t buy the bump and accidental death confession. She was executed because of government wrongdoing and $$$. She was a courageous lady that clearly honored truth and justice at the peril of her life. This system of things (or worldwide network of governments by humans under demonic control) is doomed. God’s Kingdom or government by Christ the only answer to earth’s problems. May sound far-fetched, but it’s what the Bible teaches, foretelling that the change of rulership will come in our era.
I once knew people who were with her ten minutes before she died. She didn't have any evidence. She was begging people to come and back her claims, but she did that because she didn't have evidence to back her claims. She hadn't slept in a long time, and she was popping pills. She fell asleep and drove off the road. The first state trooper on the crash scene said that it was just like any other single-car crash. Another car was on the road about the same time and saw that no other cars were around. I've heard that the people in the other car even saw her car drifting towards the edge of the road. They did tests with remote control cars of the same make and model. They simulated the driver falling asleep, and the car ended up in the same place with the same damage in nine of those ten scenarios. There are no mysterious circumstances.
Because she's a whistleblower.
Horrific corruption.
Bless Karen Silkwood, and bless the investigators who are trying to solve this mystery.
This isn't news. It's a crummy commercial for a new show on ABC. Fk it.
Wow ❤🙏
