1 Helen Frost Lawsuit

2  Area 51 is located about 90 miles north of Las Vegas, Nevada.  The United States denied the existence of Area 51 until Soviet satellite pictures proved it was there.  It is also referred to as Groom Lake and Dreamland (supposedly from Edgar Allan Poe’s Poem).  It was originally created to be a U-2 spy plane testing facility.  Although there are obviously several other theories as to what it is used for.

3  Chemicals were used in manufacturing the aircrafts.  Since the base was so secluded, they had to find different ways to get rid of the waste material.  Huge trenches were dug and filled with 55 gallon drums of hazardous wastes.  After they poured jet fuel on them and burned them.  This makes the hazardous waste more dangerous because it is easier for it to enter the body.

4  The location that they chose to burn the smoke traveled towards the building.  The heavy smoke was then referred to as “London Fog.”  Then workers reported to get symptoms known to be caused by hazardous wastes.

5  A sheet metal worker at Area 51 in 1989.  He was exposed to the smoke from the hazardous wastes.  His symptoms included:  His skin peeling off his face ▪ It had a scaly feeling to it and would peel everyday.  His face constantly felt like it was on fire  His eyes burned  Blisters and sores all over his body  Eventually he ended up committing suicide in 1988.

6  Other workers had symptoms similar to Robert.  Their doctors told them the only way they could help them is if they knew what toxic chemicals they were exposed to.  The government refused to release this information as well as the information from Robert’s autopsy.  Helen Frost then filed a lawsuit against the government in 1996.  Jonathan Turley was hired to defend the workers in court.  It took 3 years for them to go to court.

7  Turley had to prove that Area 51 existed before he could really make a case.  The case was then dismissed.  The government could neither confirm or deny what had happened.  The ninth U.S. circuit court of appeals rules that workers are not entitled to learn of the hazardous substances.  The base is exempt from environmental laws (President Clinton).
