Did a military lab spill anthrax into public waterways?

I need to just pay the 5K for a whole house filtration system with RO. With all the chemical spills and "accidents" happening every week. Nuclear power plant waste escaping into the water, and now this!

Of course, a lot of these we do not find out until "long after" it happened.


Did a military lab spill anthrax into public waterways?

www.militarytimes.com...


Unsterilized laboratory wastewater from the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases at Fort Detrick, Maryland, spewed out the top of a rusty 50,000-gallon outdoor holding tank, the pressure catapulting it over the short concrete wall that was supposed to contain hazardous spills.

It was May 25, 2018, the Friday morning before Memorial Day weekend, and the tank holding waste from labs working with Ebola, anthrax, and other lethal pathogens had become overpressurized, forcing the liquid out a vent pipe.

An estimated 2,000-3,000 gallons streamed into a grassy area a few feet from an open storm drain that dumps into Carroll Creek, a centerpiece of downtown Frederick, Maryland, a city of about 80,000 an hour’s drive from the nation’s capital.

But as the waste sprayed for as long as three hours, records show, none of the plant’s workers apparently noticed the tank had burst a pipe. This was despite the facility being under scrutiny from federal lab regulators following catastrophic flooding and an escalating series of safety failures that had been playing out for more than a week

Just little Anthrax in the water, what's the problem?
Seems like most of the country is one spill or leak away from apocalypse.
As if natural disasters don't pose enough danger someone is actively taking out parts of key infrastructure.
