Re: The SEC's Dirty Secret (ENS)
This too seems a "Dirty Secret". The news media should be ashamed that is
never informs citizens of the chemical injury or dioxin exposure dangers
when a local disaster occurs.

*** Chemical fire forces evacuation in southern Virginia
A fire in a warehouse containing plastic moldings in southwestern
Virginia sent up a cloud of toxic smoke Wednesday and forced the
evacuation of 2,000 people, officials said. A Virginia State Police
spokesman said there were no serious injuries, but several people were
treated for smoke inhalation at local hospitals. The fire forced the
evacuation of about 2,000 people from their homes in Atkins, a small
town 100 miles southwest of Roanoke. "Most of the people have gone to
stay with relatives that live in the area, and we have a shelter set
up," the spokesman said. For the full text story, see
