Lab accidents happen, but they should not be allowed too! Scary things happen.
Foot And Mouth Outbreak At Surrey Farm |Sky News|UK News: "The foot and mouth outbreak at a farm in Surrey may have been caused by a leak from a nearby animal research laboratory.
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra)said the virus is the same as one being used at Pirbright Laboratory, just a few miles from the farm.
Defra could not say definitely if the laboratory was the source of the disease, but immediately increased the size of the protection zones covering farms in the area.
Experts said the strain was not one recently found in animals, but was similar to ones used in diagnostic laboratories and vaccine production."
