New Giuliani company details plans for anthrax clean up

BOCA RATON, Fla. - Nearly three years after anthrax was found inside the headquarters of American Media Inc. after it killed an employee, a fumigation on Sunday is aimed at clearing out the deadly spores almost as quickly as they arrived.

Chlorine dioxide, a chemical used to disinfect drinking water and treat fruits and vegetables, will be pumped into the building to kill the anthrax spores, which have spread throughout the 65,000-square-foot facility. Repeated tests will then determine the safety of the building before a quarantine is lifted, officials said Friday at a community meeting.

A a new company formed by former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and Sabre Technical Services, the company that decontaminated other buildings hit by anthrax attacks, is leading the effort.

To prove to a wary community that the building is safe, the company, BioONE, then plans to occupy the space as the headquarters for its new crisis management venture.

1. Step One: Trip to Walmart. Pick up case of Clorox Bleach . . . .

Oooohhhh!! Did I inadvertently violate the PATRIOT Act with that bit of information and help the "terrorists"?

2. They bought the building for a song and a dance.

3. "We practically replaced the whole building"

<Giuliani Partners assists chief executive officers in securing the future of their firms by protecting their knowledge, financial and physical assets, their people and their brand. With Mr. Giuliani as Chairman and CEO, the firm draws upon its experience and expertise in innovative financial management, public safety, security, emergency preparedness, business continuity and leadership during crises. <snip>

Funny that the "leader" whose emergency headquarters in Building Seven WTC was inexplicably destroyed is going to advise others how to protect their assets.

Here's a critique of Sabre Technical's work:

<The vaporized hydrogen peroxide that Steris uses and Sabre's chlorine dioxide are both very potent products that have advantages and disadvantages. Each company, naturally, promotes its product as the better choice. <snip>

<Sabre's decontamination of U.S. Postal Service mail-sorting facilities in Washington, D.C., and Hamilton, N.J., cost a combined $220 million. But the process caused metal in the buildings to rust, including mail-sorting equipment, wiring, computers, railings and the heating and cooling systems.

Postal officials spent an additional $30 million to rebuild the interior of the Washington building, which reopened in December, and say they expect to spend an extra $25 million on the New Jersey facility before it can reopen in early 2005.

"We practically replaced the whole building, everything in the building," Postal Service spokeswoman Deborah Yakley said of the Washington facility. <snip>

6. Giuliani and a Trip to New Zealand

Giuliani was in Australia and was to speak in Christchurch, New Zealand. He told the organizers that he would not fly in a commercial jet and that they had to fly him in a private jet. It would have cost the organizers $45,000. They cancelled his ass! Some leadership!
