[Breitbart] Two buildings at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland are under evacuation Thursday amid a hazmat situation prompted by possible broken vials of tuberculosis. Hospital officials say they believe an unspecified number of individuals were exposed to tuberculosis at the health facility at around 12:20 pm EST. The Baltimore City Fire Department is currently on-scene at 1500 block of Jefferson Street. Caroline Street is presently closed off. |

#3 Officials in Baltimore have lifted an evacuation order after clearing people out of two medical research buildings due to tuberculosis contamination. Kim Hoppe, a spokeswoman with Johns Hopkins Medicine, said Thursday that a small sample of frozen tuberculosis was "inadvertently released" in an internal bridge between two cancer research buildings that don't connect to the hospital. |

#2 Broken vials of TB? A curious thing to have in a health facility... unless it is some kind of research hospital. |
