Could this be the beginning of the end???

Nahhh...it's Dugway, nothing new made or developed out there in some years. Someone probably kicked up one of the old anthrax disposal drums again!  


what? I'm just trying to paint a smiley face on this shit and I ain't had enough coffee yet!!!

Well, what ever it is, the gov seems a little bit more than usual nervous about this one!

anyone have family or friends here? if so chime in....or do you work there...that'd be nice too...hive needs info

well, let's face it, that place is LOADED to the gills with some UBER-nasty shit! I've been out there and believe me...just walking around can be hazardous. I'm keeping an eye on it and checking with my buds out there.  

Just don't hang out downwind in Salt Lake for a few...well....years!

what're they saying?

gates are open to INCOMING traffic, but currently no OUTBOUND traffic. A couple sectors seem to still be in lockdown.

So, from experience with that place, someone probably spilled a petrie dish while their vent hood was running (they are all HEAVILY filtered anyway) and they are just checking the blocks to ensure no spread of contamination.

But that's best guess right now.

Ooopsie.....

memo to me...things to keep track of......
Nukes? Check!    
Anthrax? Check!    
VX Nerve Agent Vials? .........FUUUUCK!     Where is it?                      Ohhh...there it is, in my pocket...I swear, if my head wasn't screwed on......



SALT LAKE CITY  — A Utah military base that carries out tests to protect troops against biological attacks was locked down for nearly 12 hours overnight because a small amount of a nerve agent was unaccounted for.

It reopened early Thursday, officials said, after the missing vial was located.

The military said in a statement Thursday the amount missing was less than one fourth of a teaspoon of VX nerve agent, which affects the body's ability to carry messages through the nerves.

She said there were no injuries resulting from the cause of the lockdown. About 1,200 to 1,400 people — a mix of military personnel and contractors and civilian workers — were inside the base when the lockdown occurred, Thomas said.

The Salt Lake Tribune reported the nearly 800,000-acre base conducts chemical and biological defense training, and "is the Defense Department's leader in testing battlefield smokes and obscurants."

Personnel there also test military equipment's viability in environments where they're facing chemical or biological threat.

Local news just said it was a vial of VX nerve agent that went missing and was finally found again.

"The U.S. Army released a statement Thursday saying that one milliliter, or less than 1/4 teaspoon, of the nerve agent VX was missing during an inventory check."

1/4 teaspoon sure goes a long way when you are talking VX nerve agent.

Sure does! The big problem with it has always been proper dispersal!

But thank god it was something as benign as VX....otherwise....it could have been FO TIME!!!!!

What if it had been a zombie virus?!

Current on your shots? I need a booster. Haven't had a booster in a while.
