On August 30 2005, the Delta Democrat Times reported that a tornado in the United States has destroyed two of Delta & Pine Land’s greenhouses and damaged others. Delta & Pine Land is currently conducting greenhouse tests on Terminator. We do not know if Terminator plants were being tested in the greenhouses or what biosafety risks, if any, might be posed – but this event shows that even seemingly secure physical containment is vulnerable.
