"Somebody's poisoned the waterhole!"

Government says they doubt its foul play or related to terrorism.

While using it I often got a good whiff of the contents myself. I "smelled almonds" many times, but I'm still here.

Not to be sarcastic, but I bet you didn't have a 200 gallon killing jar? I'm betting that in an industrial environment with such large quantities of cyanide, the previous statement probably rings true...

No, the truck disappeared several days ago. Today it was found, abandoned, with 9.5 tons of its 10 ton cyanide cargo missing.

NY Local News Channel 7 says:

6 residents seriously ill, in cardiac arrest?, still trying to figure out what it was. Streets are still closed. Ingested some type of chemical, they think? Criminal investigation underway. They still think it may have been cyanide.

Guess the news media are too busy trying to make hay of what Bush knew prior to 9/11 to care about the possibility of another terrorist attack in progress.

Second that
