Explosion rips through Russian lab housing smallpox, Ebola and plague

LINK

A massive gas explosion has sparked a fire at a Russian lab that houses viruses ranging from smallpox to Ebola, authorities have said.

The State Research Centre of Virology and Biotechnology has said a cylinder exploded in lab which is one of two places in the world that houses the smallpox disease which has been eradicated in the world.

Other highly lethal diseases that are stored there include Anthrax and Ebola.

Located in Koltsovo, in the Novosibirsk region of Siberia, the site is thought to be where biological weapons have been made.

Firefighter and rescue teams responded to the explosion before it was realised what the possible implications could be.

Russian media have reported that the “the situation was quickly upgraded from an ordinary emergency to a major incident”.



quote:

"Part of the wave of the force of the explosion would carry it away from the site when it was first stored," he said.

That contamination zone could be 10 to a few hundred meters depending on the size of the blast and other factors such as wind speed and direction, and whether it was an airborne virus

A gas leak? What are they really covering up? Did the aliens just steal a bunch of deadly viruses?

This shite has got to be intentional. No way a country like Russia is gonna frick up nuke sites AND this site within a few weeks by accident.

Do not be concerned. The US Democrats and Republicans have worked closely together for years to seal our country's borders in order to eliminate the threat of terrorists infiltrating through our borders for the purpose of creating a mass-casualty incident.

Your FBI and CIA have, from the highest levels to the lowest, focused all of their efforts on supporting this border-sealing national security project.

Damn I hope you’re not right.

First they obtain nukes in the first accident then they obtain viruses in this one. Then sometime in the future a major city somewhere in the world suffers a nuclear explosion that spreads Ebola and smallpox to hundreds of thousands. That would be the world’s biggest fear since 9/11. Holy frick.
