Aniline
Absolutely terrifying explosive if mixed wrong.

Phosgene smells like new mown hay and heavier than air if I remember my times in that plant. My dad retired from there after 37 years. Lot of Summer jobs on turnarounds. Sheit will kill you where you stand in large quantity (think rolling cloud at ground level) and in small amounts will drown you on your own fluids days after.
Aniline is a whole different deal. One drop on your skin will kill.
Educational moment: BASF = Badische Anilin & Sodafabrik
English translation from German = Baden Aniline & Soda Factory

Dying by fire and at work has got to be two of the worst ways to die. Dying in a fire at work has to be the worst.

Used to work in those units. Phosgene is about as bad as it gets. By the time you smell it, odds are you’ve likely inhaled enough to kill you, if not then, then later

And was once part of IG Farben, the nazi Chem company that produced Zyklon B among other things.

BASF makes MDI.
The MDI plant is where the incident occurred. Two guys got "gassed" whatever that means

Phosgene gas exposure most likely if it was the MDI unit. Awful.

That might be aniline. I think phosgene is use to make TDI - different unit.

Phosgene is used to make both TDI and MDI

You are correct sir. Apologize for my misinformation.

MDI? It’s used in lots of common products like foams that are in the cushions of your couch and your vehicle seats.
