Fall Out: Bluegrass Army Depot ( A Documentary)

Right in our backyard, at the foothill of the Appalachian Mountains there are 500 tons of the deadliest chemical agents ever to exist (including VX, sarin and mustard gas). This in spite of the fact that they were to all be destroyed by April of this year (2007) in accordance with an International Treaty entered into and agreed upon by the United States Government. According to officials this is because of a lack of funding.
 
What is at the depot and who knows about it? Why is the government, and the military in particular, unwilling to accept the true cost of war? Is there any such thing as a safe exposure level as the military has proclaimed? This answers will shock you. FALLOUT will address these and many more "burning" issues.

Three Georgetown-area students have been selected as semi-finalists for an international film competition. Bryan Nichols, Adam Griffith and Sarah Hope interviewed students at Berea College about the Bluegrass Army Depot and how old chemical weapons are stored eight miles from their campus.

523 tons of mustard, and nerve gas is the exact the amount stored

birth deformations are EXTREMLY RARE here

the public is allowed in there with authorization at the checkpoint

MANY of the people in the area knows what is stored here

B.A.D is like a mini area 51

What happens if there a hole? Someone will have to fix it.

I use to work at the Y-12 National Security Complex. One of the things they do there is store (HEU) Highly Enriched Uranium. And you should see the inspection of each storage section that they do every 12 to 24 hours. Its over kill. We have the correct places to store this type of material. So calm down with your video.

Also if it was NOT for chem weapons we probably wouldn't even be able to have this conversation right now.

I was stationed at the Bluegrass Army Depot, not only do they have fences with razor wire to cross and armed guards to get passed. These chemicals are stored far under ground and the bunkers are designed to take a direct hit from a 747. The gasses are monitored with "sniffers" 24/7. If you don't like the area, then leave. Stop trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill and scare other people.

Are you kidding me? The gases in the Army Depot are checked every day for containment corrosion and other possible threats, not to mention being kept under high security. You Democrats make me laugh with your morbid fear of the impossible.
