America's Nerve Gas Arsenal

I stumbled onto this news documentary on the nerve gas stored in the US from 1973 very randomly maybe a year ago: ▶ this video . If you're interested in this type of stuff this documentary is incredible and apparently won an Emmy. The number of problems with long term are mind boggling technologically, even if people don't know its near them. The whole idea if this place got bombed it would wipe out huge amount of people in the surrounding area based on wind patterns is nuts, frankly. The whole process to dismantle and then "store" the old gas is insane.
