  Is it just me, or does the Soviets have a terrible habit of creating killer creations, then abandon them, hoping nobody asks about them?

  Anytime you click on a random "informative" video, there's a 90% chance of this dude being the narrator.

  I used to be on the United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases email list because of some of the work I was doing, and the Aral Sea was just one area that gave me nightmares. <br><br>My worst scenario was someone walking into the bush somewhere in central Africa or the rainforest of South America, coming into contact with a hemorrhagic, not knowing it, then getting on a plane and flying back to a large population center (like happened in 1972 with Marburg...dodged a bullet with that one) and not even realizing they&apos;re infected. If it happens at the height of cold and flu season, people just assume they&apos;re coming down with the flu. Then they start leaking blood from everywhere. <br><br>Most areas with Marburg, Ebola, Hanta Virus, or any of a number of other nasty diseases and infections (to say nothing of &quot;Anthrax Island&quot;) are all about three hours, or less, from international airports.<br><br>Welcome to my nightmare. Sleep tight.

  Seeing the ussr&apos;s track record we are lucky that non of the diseases escaped from the island.

  This non-island could literally kill everyone on Earth. Sleep well tonight!
