'' Cracked '' was near the center of the 2001 anthrax scare . An anonymous letter containing anthrax powder was sent to American Media Inc. in September 2001 , killing one employee . '' Cracked '' s offices were still in the same building , and thus the magazine was among the publications that had to be evacuated . As a consequence , the company 's archives , containing the magazine 's original photographic prints of issues from 1958 – 2000 , had to be destroyed due to contamination . The attack caused Kulpa to put out only four issues that year
