Who in their right mind would store such highly flammable products in a building with a restaurant & kitchen? With patrons
Having a Laboratory is bad enough. What kind of 'lab' was it? Medical, Viral or Pathogens?
Where are the inspectors & permit persons who looked the otherway? Who administrated the agencies?
