Has there been any follow up as to the status of this missing barrell?
Need help debunking the story from the unmentionable site about the nukes supposedly found from NYC to Boston- near the rr tracks- where one was jettisoned into the Atlantic. I'm being asked for the facts on the new (free) forum and want to do the best I very can.
It is one thing to alert people to threats and provide suggestions for safety- it is another thing to revel in fearmongering among people already aware and frightened about what is coming.
The same kind of follow-up as the foreign ship jumpers, as far as I know still at large in America.
I haven't found follow-up yet regarding missing barrel...trying to catch-up on work projects. This working/making money thing is really taking too much of my time lately....TM is where I really want to be!!
Ground Search Planned for Missing Sodium Cyanide (10/11/04 - North Dakota)
Associated Press DEVILS LAKE, N.D. - Searchers on foot will continue looking this week for a missing drum of sodium cyanide, the Ramsey County sheriff says.
Sheriff Steve Nelson said two aerial searches last week failed to turn up any sign of the 15-gallon drum, which fell off a truck hauling supplies for beekeepers. Two similar barrels were recovered along state Highway 1 near Lakota on Sept. 30.
Nelson said this week's ground search will go over marshy areas with heavy brush cover, between the towns of Lawton and Brocket. Authorities believe someone may already have picked up the missing barrel.
"It's getting to a higher probability that somebody may be afraid to turn it in," Nelson said. The search has been monitored by the FBI, the state crime bureau and Department of Homeland Security. Sodium cyanide turns into a deadly gas when it comes in contact with water.
Authorities want hunters or others who spot the barrel to report it immediately. They say the barrel is black with a white label containing the words "DuPont Cyanabrik" and "sodium cyanide," and has a skull and crossbones.
Authorities say anyone who finds the barrel should stay a safe distance upwind, and immediately contact the Ramsey County Sheriff's Office at (701) 662-0700 or the North Dakota Department of Agriculture at (800) 242-7535
N.D. Guard flyover finds no Cyanide Posted on Sat, Oct. 09, 2004
Authorities concentrate search along Highway 1 between Langdon and Lakota, N.D.
The Ramsey County Sheriff's Office has no plans to stop the search for a missing 15-gallon barrel of sodium cyanide.
"We won't quit until we've exhausted all of our options," Deputy Don Meyer said. "We can't have anything like that laying out there." Meyer flew in a helicopter with the North Dakota National Guard early Friday but found no barrel. Crews also have been searching on the ground.
"The barrel is not on the ground if it's out there, it's going to be in the water," he said. Meyer said the sheriff's office is trying to coordinate with Devils Lake Search and Rescue, who can use underwater cameras to check in water-filled ditches. If the barrel is still out there, Meyer expects it may be spotted by duck hunters.
"The more eyes we have out there, I think it's going to help us," Meyer said. But, he warned, anyone who finds the barrel should stay a safe distance upwind and call 911 immediately. The barrel is black with a white label. Meyer said the search is concentrated in the ditches along Highway 1 from Langdon to Lakota, N.D.....
Sodium cyanide is considered extremely dangerous and reacts with water to create lethal hydrogen cyanide gas, which was used by the Nazis in World War II in gas chambers. It takes only 500 parts per million to kill a person in about five minutes when it's inhaled, said Andrew Thostenson, North Dakota State University pesticide program specialist.
