Title: WEEEEKEEEND, Gas-alarms, curfews, that sort of thing...
Post by: whabang on February 04, 2005, 07:42:14 AM
A big chemical factory had a minor leak: 20000 metric tonnes of sulphuric acid out in the air.
Public in Helsingborg is advised to stay indoors.

Wee...

Dude, Acid, what a trip ;-)

I'm told unreliably that Sulfuric Acid is a good means of dealing with Zits. Wanna test this out for me? :-D

In all seriousness though, I feel for you, and the feeling is that of a mild burning sensation where there is bare skin...

Well, you've got to make light of these things, either that or dissolve.

Haha! :lol:

The danger is apparently over now; the gas cloud went out to the sea. The problem/advantage is that there isn't a single bus going in the entire city! Impossible for me to get to work! :-D

Jeez and there was me thinking that Karlos had been out for a Vindaloo again?

Mere airbourne sulphuric acid vapours do not come close to the evil acridness of one of my alimentary system's vindaloo post processing...

On a serious note, that is a nasty thing to have leaked and no mistake. Had it have rained over the city, there could be a lot of long term structural damage and health problems from inhaled vapours :-/

WOOOHOOOO!
It's friday!

And as I don't live those parts of the city, that are still under curfew, I'm going to enjoy it! :-D
