Basically, some men at a chemical plant in St. Louis were exposed to a chemical called Nitroaninline, which has explosive qualities and is extremely toxic. The men became very ill, turned blue and started showing up at two or three different hospitals.
Two of the hospitals went on complete lockdown after the men arrived, because officials at the facilities were afraid the men might have infected everyone in the entire hospital.
Eventually, officials determined the origin of the problem, but would not release the name of the chemical. Later they realeased the name of the chemical.
Note that they still will not give us two vital pieces of information;
1) what are the names of those who were infected?
and
2) why were they in the plant on a non-work day?
There were reports that two of the men had died.
Later, an official at the chemical company made the claim that those report were completely untrue.
St. Louis Today update
SUN AUG 31, 2008:
Employees with Hulcher Services Inc, an environmental cleanup company out
of Memphis vacuum the loading dock at G.S. Robins & Co. Sunday afternoon in
East. St. Louis where a toxic powder mishap Saturday hospitalized several
employees.
"Steve Robins, president of the G.S. Robins & Co., the parent company
Ro-Corp Inc., said the city manager's claim that there had been two deaths was
wrong and no one died. (Laurie Skrivan/P-D)
Wow . . .were there really no deaths from this accident or is this the story to make it all go away?
Ok, but then why is this report coming out in this manner (thanks to our Anonymous friend for making me aware of this):
BND.com has video footage of the clean up.
It also provides this curious FBI accounting/statement which does not
account for all of the victims:FBI Spokesman Price McCarty said a total of eight
people, all Ro-Corp. plant workers, were injured.
One of the eight was released from Barnes Jewish Hospital in St. Louis
Sunday evening, while at least four other victims remained hospitalized.
The victim at St. Louis University Hospital remained in serious condition,
while the conditions of all three victims at St. Anthony’s Medical Center in
south St. Louis County had upgraded from stable to satisfactory, according to a
hospital statement.
That statement accounts for five of the eight injured workers. What about the other three?
If there are no dead people, then there are no names to release, right?
AND, THERE'S MORE:
"Robins said the workers were not scheduled to be
at the facility on Saturday but went in after a customer called in a special
order. He had few details on the accident.
"Despite workers not being scheduled to be at the facility - someone was
available to take a phone order. This individual not only accepted this order,
but managed to find the personnel to fulfill this order on unscheduled time.
Such flexiblity presents a question of security.
What could this chemical be used for that it warranted an unscheduled order fulfillment on a day no workers were scheduled to be at the warehouse?
Who took the order? Who placed the order? For what purpose?
Who called in the workers, and by what protocol and authority?
Is this how insecure such chemical warehouses are in this country?
There is plenty of reason to be concerned here, even if no terror is related. Identify and interview the workers involved.
BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE: Anonymous comments:
Upon review of post, number of patients is wrong . . .
re-reading carefully (it's late here on the east coast)
Quote: "One of the eight was released from Barnes Jewish Hospital in St. Louis Sunday evening, while at least four other victims remained hospitalized."
Barnes Jewish Hospital = one of 8 released =1
at least 4 others remain hospitalized = 4
St. Louis Univ. Hospital = 1
St. Anthony's Med Center = 3
These add up to at least nine patients . . .
FBI says 8 . . .
again, nothing adds up.
Hopefully, by tomorrow am we will have better answers.
BUT WAIT, THERE'S STILL MORE:
Only one remains hospitalized
Three of the victims were released Monday from SSM DePaul Health Center, a
spokeswoman said. Three others were medically cleared Sunday to go home from St.
Anthony's, while a seventh victim was released by St. Louis' Barnes-Jewish
Hospital, spokeswomen said.
One person remained hospitalized Monday in fair condition at Saint Louis
University Hospital.
Still no names, no interviews of victims - the msm has lost interest & swept it all under the proverbial rug.
inmy last post on this i linked to an article stating two died.http://astuteblogger.blogspot.com/2008/08/update-two-dead-from-yesterdays.html

If certain people are programmed to strap bombs to themselves to kill others and themselves-what would stop them from covering themselves w/a dangerous chemical in order to kill others and themselves?
ReplyDeleteJust asking....
Obviously, the powers that be, are terrified that any hint of terrorism before the election will make McC look strong, and BHO look weak
ReplyDeleteModerationist,
ReplyDeleteIt's hard for me to believe that all these "officials" are Obama supporters, but perhaps there is a bit of that involved.
Who knows?
Gah . . .this article states:
ReplyDeleteThree men exposed to the powder drove to St. Anthony's Medical Center
OK . .. that agrees with above. = 3
Another went to Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis, Silvernail said.
Only one? the above posted article made it appear as if at least four others remain hospitalized. It's not clear at which hospital.
Could it be three others went to SSM DePaul Health Center in north St. Louis County ?
It wasn't known where the eighth sought treatment. (probably St. Louis Univ. Hospital)
Based on these two reports (report 1 and report 2):
St. Anthony's Medical Center = 3
Barnes-Jewish Hospital = 1
SSM DePaul Health Center = 3
St. Louis Univ. Hospital = 1
Finally it adds up to eight patients.
Let's see if tomorrow we learn more about names through much needed interviews with the injured workers.
Anonymous,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your efforts in trying to figure this out. Hell, you gotta do Algebra to work out the calculation.
If there were actual names attatched to these vague "victims" then it would be a whole lot easier to figure out what the heck these articles are saying. Where, why, when, who and how?
The journalists are not doing their jobs for some reason, or at least, they are not doing them well.
Gee, I wonder why that is.
Pastorius,

Interesting.
Spam site or cleverly disguised Jihad site?
I'm not sure.
