A developing story for you out of Scott Air Force Base, where emergency crews are dealing with a reported hazmat situation.
“Currently we’re responding to a suspicious package that occurred at the official mail center (Building 1650),” SAFB spokesman Lt. Benjamin Garland tells KMOX News.
He said they’re not releasing any further information about the “suspicious package” or what it may have contained at this time.
Early word from the scene is that at least 3 people have been transported to the hospital and a dozen more need decontamination.
KMOX has received some reports that the hazmat emergency stemmed from a suspicious package sent to the base, that gave handlers a rash.
The incident began just before 9:30 a.m. Wednesday.
The education center, the bowling alley and ITT center at Scott are closed until further notice.
Check back for more on this developing story.

Just saw that on FOX (first time I’ve had FOX on in 3 years). Hmmm, a trial run or what?
Just to beat out the msm - Bush’s fault! Tea Party’s fault! Obviously done by a right wing GOP conservative wacko!

If it is indeed hazardous they’ll lock down the base to keep anyone from escaping. (I speak from experience.)

The press is waiting with baited breath for that one...

It’s a military base.
False flag or military accident.

I am concerned about this prospect as well. They are just waiting with baited breath for a Reischtag incident.

The press is waiting with baited breath for that one... Has the whole world started using baited breath instead of bated breath? This is about the tenth time I've seen it in the past couple of days.
I know. I'm anal.

Me too...'86 - '89 (back when AFCC HQ was still in Fort Ugly) I got there in 88 and "Fort Ugly" is where I first worked (AFCC HQ). I was still there when they moved to the new building and ultimately when AFCC became the TIC. Maybe we knew each other.
