A massive effort to get fresh water samples flown to a highly specialized U.S. Environmental Protection Agency laboratory in Cincinnati became an unexpected all-night ordeal, delaying any announcement about test results early today, but the plane carrying the ice-downed samples is expected to arrive at its destination about 10 a.m.
It remains unclear how many hours it will take before that laboratory generates test results, data that is expected to be the most important to date in the second day of the Toledo metro area's unprecedented water crisis that affects 500,000 people.

Funny how crisis tends to create all nighters.
WTF! I could have driven them there faster than flying them.... at this rate.
What airport delayed the flight? They should be publically condemned for such ignorant tactics...
They are in a declared State of Emergency...humph

Test results are delayed - stonewalling in progress.
Video on this page in an interview with Dr. Grossman, Toledo Health Director.

The samples were delivered appropriately. They asked for more samples last night.
Numerous delay tactics being used. National Guard was distributing water at one high school, maybe more locations.
If it were carrying a plane load of illegals instead they would of have been expedited lol...
DHS can’t wait to bring out the MRAPs and FEMA camps.
Is Toledo Ground Zero for the coming Ebola outbreak?

There are conflicting reports about if the water can be used for various needs.
On a couple of video reports indicates not to use the water for anything but the fish is safe to eat.??
They are stonewalling and it seems like a cover up.
CNN video - 1:24 minutes - mentions National Guard

oh c’mon. What a steaming pile. For over 200 years people have drunk from that water with and without water treatment plants and no one got “poisoned” from “toxins”. This is just another manufactured crisis for the feds to use to expand their territory.
here over 30 years and this has never happened.
My first thought was manufactured crisis too, but these days you never know.
I have a strange feeing we’re being lied to..........big time
Very similar to the manufactured H1N1 flu crisis
Meanwhile, reverse osmosis systems are sold out nationwide, and back ordered 6 months, mostly due to a large government contract......../tinfoil
“DHS can’t wait to bring out the MRAPs and FEMA camps.”
Perhaps a dry run for something bigger?
Karto,
Any take on this?
Specifically, does bleach work for this, or high grade camping filters (like Katadyn)? We think distilling should work, although energy intensive.
It’s good stuff to know for future ‘events’.
Its a 3 hour drive.
Something else is going on here
Nitrate Phosphate run off is a chronic problem all over the US and creates severe problems with the dead zone in the Gulf, Chesapeake Bay, Florida, and red tides in Texas. Just recently a huge fertilizer driven amount seaweed came ashore on Galveston island and now sits there rotting and stinking so no one goes to the beach because of the smell.
Just a few years ago Oklahoma sued Ark, Tyson Chicken, and a few large poultry growers over this run-off pollution from the chicken shit.
