Was told to go home, stay inside, and turn off AC.
Wonder why they tell them not to run the AC?. Home ACs are closed loop systems so they don't bring any air in from the outside. Just recirculate the interior air.

Union carbide has worse stuff than Chlorine,

I did jokingly say I would take a year of free washes (the monthly subscription cost for unlimited washes is $40 an month) and to my surprise he agreed.

I don't think those Chlorine tablets have the same concentration as what DOW has though

Single release, not ongoing per onsite sauces
Yeah, let's believe the people who get fined based on the amount released....

I could see the smoke from the prairieville exit overpass on the interstate.
Heading over to a friend's house (that was off work today) that deals with environmental for DOW here in a bit.

Good lord.
Chlorine is bad bad bad shite.
When you see a giant green fog rolling to you it's hard not to shite your pants.
Having to suit up and work in one is surreal.
And just a drop of that shite will damn near kill you. Several times I got hit and you don't breathe right for days.

You taste chlorine in your breath when you get chlorinated. Best thing to do is to down a hot soda and burp it out your lungs

Thank God for the flare!
It's been running hot for a few weeks. In process of starting up the furnace.

There are just different types of bad. Chlorine killes in one breathe. Hydrocarbons go boom.
Dow has hydrocarbon units so they it's got just about everything union has. Sucks iether way

Said safety came running through the unit yelling for everyone to get out now. Turned off the turnstiles so everyone could bail quickly. Guys running over each other to leave. Stuck in a massive cluster now trying to get out of the parking lot.
I was in this cluster at about 3 trying to get out of Poly B. 1000 people trying to exit 1 gate in emergency onto river road. Took 30 minutes. Sure everyone has heard power unit went down first and caused everything. I seen flares burning there arse off started at about 1:45 they didn't run us out til 3

I worked there for 5 years. I'm wondering what poor bastard contractor will be responsible for this.
