"Plague" just happens to be one of my favorite episodes, so naturally it was the first thing I thought of when I saw this:

washington.cbslocal.com/2014/07/09/forgotten-vials-of-smallpox-found-in-nih-storage-room/

The articles don't mention "Needles" as a storage facility, so apparently the sample was moved after the 1982 break-in attempt.

I had the same thought myself, and it was a bit scary to know that things like that do happen - paralleling the story.

Admittedly too I still get shivers knowing they used the Columbia as being the shuttle in danger (and the astronauts dead) for "The Shock Will Kill You" and then we have the real Columbia disaster in 2003.
