David Crete, a former Air Force Sergeant who worked at NTTR from 1983 through 1987, said that over 490 of his fellow workers have died of severe illnesses since being stationed at the secret facility. 'I have brain atrophy. The left side of my brain is shrinking and dying. That's not too bad.

The average age of death for someone who served in that unit is 65 and the youngest airman to die was just 33.
