Where's
depot outcry?
I can't believe it. No one has
said a
word about the afterburner falling from the ceiling at Anniston Army
Depot.
This incinerator that is destroying nerve gases literally falls apart,
and
there is no public outcry.
Seventy-two new bolts break, and the reason
given is
because the contractors replaced the firebrick exactly like they had
been while
burning sarin. In the June 30 Star, Bob Love, project manager, said
that ’ÄúThere
are 18 recommended corrective actions, seven of which must be
implemented
before workers can resume destroying weapons.’Äù What about the other 11?
Do they
cost too much? Will they take too long to implement?
Westinghouse is going to space the firebrick
further
apart, and the project site manager says they could be ’Äúready to begin
destroying
nerve agent VX by the end of July.’Äù I have yet to read of any elected
official,
any public leader or any media questioning this. We must be so
fatalistic as to
not care.
