When I went to the University of Kentucky for college I remember hearing from friends who grew up in Richmond, and the surrounding area, about the chemical weapon drills they had (similar to active shooter, fire, tornado, etc). Turns out Richmond had/has a large cache of chemical weapons waiting to be decommissioned and there was always a worry about a leak (due to age or natural disaster). It appears that as of this year [0] they are finally nearing the completion of decommissioning the weapons but it's crazy to me to how long these just sat without any real work (or very slow work) being done to remove the threat.
