Pentagon says "live anthrax" inadvertently shipped across US
“inadvertent transfer of live anthrax...to other states”
inadvertent?
Thanks, thouworm.
“There was a show on television about a place called Anthrax Island off the coast of Scotland. It was a place used to test Anthrax 40-50 years ago.
“It was uninhabited except animals such as sheep. Anthrax was left there and then they went back to check.
“Every animal on the island was dead. They tried soil replacement etc. but nothing worked. They couldn’t get rid of the anthrax.”
“You see, the shelf life of anthrax spores is approximately 5,000 years.
“Now, if you hit a city, say like New York City or what have you, the question becomes, how do you decontaminate it? “If we could not decontaminate an island, that was six acres square, how do you decontaminate a city?
“The situation is, you do not decontaminate the city. Quite frankly, what happens, the city becomes uninhabitable. “
If you want to visit a place where anthrax spores are endemic to the soil, I would recommend Texas, South Dakota, Nebraska, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and California, which have been rendered uninhabitable.
