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.

You should be, we all should be. I have been wanting the American public to wake up from their materialistic quest long enough to see the truth of all these lies. We are pretty much doomed. Aids, west niles, lyme...all these are attributed to this island. I hate our government, comepletely. They all knew about this, no matter what side. They ALL need to go. ALL OF THEM

[ddviolinist]

what is hilarious is what Plum Island has on the first page of their site. They claim they are proud that NO germ has ever left the island>>idiot liars.

[mythtree]

What if a hurricane, earthquake, tsumani... What will their security police force do to contain all those bacteriologic viral warfare contaminants? Is there even any way to dispose of these, should we ever get wise enough to stand down on these tactics?

The Security of the Island is not in question. I know someone who had boat trouble here and ran aground to fix things. Within minutes they were surrounded by armed, uniformed, soldiers and police. They were chained to a desk and questioned for over an hour and now they have to go to federal court for trespassing. They are over 50 years old and have never been in trouble with the law....hmmmmm
