Looking around, it appears to be at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champagne.

What could possibly go worng? Unconfirmed field reports are it isn't that bad. It's fast-moving, but relatively easy to track. It smells bad and never shuts up.

Although it doesn't smell as bad as Soylent Brown.

Since the tweet was a day ago, I'd have to assume either a major part of the United States is a hazmat area, or it was just a minor spill and some idjiot decided that it'd be really cool if there was an automated warning to send out to people in the event of a disaster, not realizing it would go off for any normal lab accident.

Once upon a time, back before people were quite so paranoid my company had a group of us cleaning out the junk room which had flooded.
This room had been used to store stuff since the 1940's and there were all kinds of things in there, some of them kind of cool. But one thing I will always remember is the crumbling cardboard box that someone was getting ready to throw on the burn pile before noticing the faded printing on it. That crumbling box held about five pounds of cyanide powder.
It was put down carefully and we called the plant manager who came and took charge of it. He double bagged it, told us to go shower and change our jumpsuits and that was that.
I wonder how many reams of paperwork would need to be filled out now days.

I used to work at the Trojan Nuclear Plant in Oregon. We never had any incident such as you relate, but there was a rather odd incident in Portland, fifty miles away, and Trojan got roped into it.
Someone found an abandonned van loaded up with radio isotopes. Of course those police in Portland were certain we folks as Trojan had something to do with this! Who else but a nuclear power plant would let those radioactive materials get loose on an unsuspecting public!
We had no idea where the isotopes could have come from, though someone did suggest contacting the Oregon Health Sciences University, up on Pill Hill.
Yeah, they were missing a van. The driver was later found at home, sleeping off a drunk.

"You drive the RV here to the Hill Country full of local freeps." This should be written so that it is understandable only to those of us with the Freep Decoder Script. Are you sure we need a bunch of Yankee tourists here with million dollar RVs and no food or gasoline for their generators?

Cool! We may have crossed paths in our work, Laz. That is all I am sayin’. :)
