The Law Explained

The Utah criminal code has a very specific and rather ominous statute prohibiting anyone from causing a widespread disaster. Defined as causing widespread injury or damage by explosion, fire, or releasing radioactive material, it was codified during the Cold War era. So if your weekend DIY project goes horribly wrong and levels a city block, expect a specific charge for your apocalyptic blunder.
