When D.C. mail clerk Joseph Curseen arrived at the hospital on Sunday with "the flu," he was sent home with stomach medicine and died the next day. Investigators who had swabbed down his post office hadn't told anybody to get tested or treated and hadn't even warned them about the symptoms. By week's end, 35 postal facilities had been tested, and the U.S. Capitol police had announced that anthrax had been found in three more congressional offices, all in the Longworth House Office Building...

Congress was out of session when the British stormed Washington on Aug. 24, 1814. And Congress hadn't technically convened on Sept. 11th even though folks were cleared out of the Capitol. But you get the picture...
