Army plans ship nerve gas by trains across seven states
The Army disclosed that two trainloads of nerve gas would traverse seven Southern states en route to dumping off Cape Kennedy Florida next month. Trains cross 1,400 miles through 21 populated areas, with security forces aboard and pilot trains testing routes. The operation, part of Operation Chase, involves 12,540 rockets each carrying 10.8 pounds of GB nerve gas, to be loaded on a hulk at Sunny Point and sunk 282 miles east of Cape Kennedy in waters twice as deep as prior sites. The plan faces public and Congressional concern and possible treaty considerations, with schedules and routes kept confidential.
