> Lab leaks happen all the time

Honestly, that's terrifying to read. Do you have references to numbers of leaks or other information on the subject?

Interesting that the 1989 Reston, VA release was not included...

Page says: "The list is grouped by the year in which the accident or incident occurred and does not include every reported laboratory-acquired infection. This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources."

Wikipedia is crowd-sourced project, anyone can edit it if he or she thinks it is necessary(either something might be missing or something might be wrong).

Also useful to look at a list of known LAIs (Lab-acquired infections): https://my.absa.org/LAI

Most of these don't spread beyond the initially infected lab workers, but the sheer number is staggering.
