I am sure the CDC will blow itself up if necessary. I mean, the walking dead didn't lie?
That wasn't even the CDC in the Walking Dead!!! When I lived in Atlanta I was pretty close to the CDC. I know what it looks like on the outside, which meant I was totally thrown out of the show when they finally reached the CDC and it was some building that looks nothing like real CDC. (Apparently the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Center played the part of the CDC.)
I get that the real CDC probably wouldn't let them film there (if for no other reason than that passers-by might not react well if they drove past during filming and saw what appeared to be a horde of zombies amassed outside), and for people who haven't lived in the area the CDC building isn't immediately recognizable so they probably felt they didn't need to use special effects to make it look like they were at the real place. However, if you can't trust the Walking Dead to show the real CDC, they might be lying about the explosives as well. ;)
