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.

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).
