1947project: Little Tokyo Citizens Soy Poisoned
Monday, July 11, 2005 18:581947project posted a decades-old news item this evening about a mislaid plan to poison, by way of soy sauce, the Japanese-American citizens of Little Tokyo.
Forty people took ill two nights ago, and the cause was quickly found to be near-fatal quantities of arsenic adulterating the strange salty black soya sauce of which that population is so fond. In what seems to be an ingenious targeted attack—which has thus far failed to kill anyone, because the parts per pound were 2.3 grains instead of 2.7—at least one brand of soya sauce proved potentially life-threatening.
1947project’s Kim and Nathan were Q&A’d in LAist today.
