Comforting

"pretty close. . ."


Blast Zone

Construction crews at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention headquarters in Atlanta are scheduled to resume blasting work within 30 feet of labs holding some of the world's deadliest organisms.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that blasting was halted in May after explosions sent rocks through windows in two other lab buildings that also contain deadly germs. But a CDC spokesman says new safety measures have been implemented and the chance of infectious organisms being released is, "pretty close to zero."
