VVH-TV News Special Report on PLUM ISLAND

VVH-TV News Chief Investigative Reporter Karl Grossman interviews author Long Island native and lawyer Michael Christopher Carroll about his work "Lab 257". This work takes us on a shocking journey inside the notorious Plum Island biological research facility. Carroll spent five years researching this highly detailed and powerful account of the secretive government installation that sits just off the coast of some of New York's prime real estate, an installation that has had its share of meltdowns, mishaps and downright scary security breaches, including two known releases of deadly viruses into the air.Owned by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Plum Island lies just off the coast of the North Fork of Long Island. This otherwise uninhabited, woodsy island has a long history of controversy and secrecy, as Carroll so intricately details, and just may have put the millions of residents of the Tri-State area in utter danger of exposure to fatal animal diseases, including Rift Valley fever, West Nile virus, and even anthrax, time and time again.Lab 257 is a wake-up call to people to be more aware of what goes on in their own backyards. Labs like these exist all over the country, some more visible than others. Shoring up our crumbling biological research labs and accounting for the hundreds of vials of deadly viruses and microbes might be a better use of our time, our taxes and our energy. Plum Island, and its history of danger to millions of citizens, is proof of that indeed.VVH-TV News attempted to have an interview with officials from the Department of Homeland Security but were denied.

I got the book Lab 257 at the library. It is a great read. I couldn't pull myself away. It is a MUST read. They are looking for a place to put a new lab. North Carolina and Georgia are 2 out of 3 or 4 places they are considering. If you don't pass it on, and they move near your family, you will regret not spreading the word. Peace-Out.

Does this mean that Bigfoot was really something created in some lab? Or maybe even ....us? Now step back for a moment. No wonder people can't go on Mt. Ararat. They'll probably find vials instead of bones.

Yes, it's sad that on the Plum Island Homepage they actually mention that in their "50 years no germs have ever been leaked out".Now, what would make them write that? Cover up. Period. Thankyou Michael Carroll for writing this book.

fastbusysignal (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
