Can't even have them escaping into the rest of the building. So, just destroy the lab.
What if power is accidentally cut? Does everyone in the building just instantly die? It's built as a bunker why not just lock the building down if it loses power?
Why does it need to explode? Wouldn't it be more dangerous to blow the building up as it appears and potentially send viruses airborne?
Because it's dramatic.

-scientists can presumably sign some of the viruses/bacteria out of the holding area to study them. so there's no guarantee they are always all in the holding area
-instantly? the building had been on backup power for weeks/months after it lost power. the building only blew up once backup power had been completely exhausted.
-extreme heat is the only way to kill the bacteria/viruses? I thought they exlained that in the show when they were talking about superheating the air by igniting it.
-how does locking the building down contain the viruses/bacteria indefinitely? buildings degrade over time. buildings can be blown open in wartime by bombs/tanks. The only way to destroy the viruses/bacteria was very high heat.
I find it really weird that instead of questioning how people come back from death and become zombies, instead someone gets hung up on the fact that a building that stores infectious bacteria and viruses would self-destruct if it had no more power to contain them.
The entire premise of the show is far more questionable than the CDC stuff. If you can overlook how zombies come into being, how do you take issue with the CBC blowing itself up? Makes no sense to me.
