scene safety-- what not to do

Typical cops.

I like how the firefighters arrive and are like, seriously? hahaha.

Talked to a former warehouse worker this morning who I knew had been exposed to an ammonia cloud. His experience bears out exactly what I'd read or been told previously. Instant intense burning and coughing had everyone running away asap, and (his words) " ... only Chuck Norris or a retard would stand in the cloud long enough to choke out if there was a way out." :P And troopers aren't generally known to be either, entirely.

Had one here last year. a plant had an ammonia leak. The cloud formed and spread across a local road. A young lady driving to work, just drove through the cloud that was only 70 yards long. She did not make it out the other side. Hazmat was on scene, but had not blocked roadway, before wind shifted. This nice young lady was dead, when they reached her. That was within 2 minutes of her entering the cloud.

So, I am sure she would like to know that is does not kill that quick!;)

Ammonia is very harmful to the lungs and in strong concentration will kill very quickly!
