Once sealed, B2’s ecosystem was to clean and recycle its own air. But a $125,000 carbon dioxide recovery system was secretly installed.
A large supply of food–for people and animals-was hidden inside the bubble.
Two mechanical “lungs” sealed off from outside were supposed to control the environment; instead, outside air was quietly let in.
A Biospherian who left to see a doctor sneaked airlock indicators that would allow her colleagues to sneak in and out of the bubble.
Most of the plants and animals have been dying off, thanks to a lack of sun. Most insects are dead and a boat daily scoops up all the dead fish.
B2 officials deny the claims and are suing the filmmaker.
