Kind of like having your badge on you at all times, but half the people don't. We are going to escape respirators site wide early in 2017, right now it's only required in one block.

9 people died in a town of 2,600
Yeah, okay.
The press, especially here, is soooo reliable. Most of the info you are referring to came from The Aiken (sub)Standard. And DHEC sure as frick did not want their complete and total frickery of the whole situation made public.
I am a trauma nurse and was working at Aiken Regional the night it happened. More than 9 ppl died and a hell of a lot more died afterwards from exposure.
I think I kinda know how many ppl were brought in. My husband at the time was also with one of the Fire Departments that were eventually allowed to respond. The entire situation was horribly mishandled and there were really no plans in place that anyone was actually reliably familiar with in case of anything remotely like this happening. The fire department as well as other emergency personnel were delayed in being allowed within a certain perimeter for far too long.
I love how ppl like you, living far away from SC, and especially unfamiliar and completely ignorant to the area where it occurred, where I was born and raised, think you know more than the ppl who were directly involved in what happened.
What the frick do I have to gain by inflating or exaggerating what happened that night, huh?
The only point in posting what I saw and took part in that particular night at the hospital was to say that I did not even realize how dangerous chlorine gas is and to say that I hoped everyone involved was safe and unharmed.
Way to display what a complete and total a-hole dickwad you apparently are.
ETA: And just to add..since I DID grow up in this area and lived there my ENTIRE fricking life, I personally KNEW more than nine ppl that died. If you would like, I would be more than fricking happy to take pictures of their gravestones and find their obits to appease your abundant and overwhelming disrespect of friends that I lost who are no longer with us bc of what happened. Go frick yourself.

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
Is this really a thing? I'm pretty sure burps come from your stomach.

I'm on the new construction of Poly B and we are required to carry them on us at all times. I've also been in LHC3 and was required.

Lol. I think it's easy to track how many people fricking died.

Respirators are located throughout a plant and control rooms but not for every person...Definitely not for contractors on site either
Maintanence side. 100% required. New construction, may not be, even though everyone is in the same plant. No clue why maintenance lives matter and new construction matter less.

Glad you think it's humorous.
You know what?
Since the ONLY REASON I even posted was to say that I hoped everyone involved there was okay, I am just going to leave it at that.
Unlike you, I refuse to disrespect what could have been a horrible tragedy there along with those that were involved.
Have a wonderful day and stay safe.

Calm down, sweetheart. You getting emotional over me correcting you saying a town of 3,000 people died off overnight is what's humorous.

quote:Have you ever been blasted in the face and inhaled chlorine? I have. Know what helped? Drinking a hot soda and making myself burp. The reason for this is you keep coughing, and coughing, and coughing. Your body is trying to get the vapors out. I don't know what happens medically, but the burping thing just works. It's an old school operator trick, and it has worked for me a couple of times.
I'm pretty sure burps come from your stomach.

The thing that's so dangerous about chlorine is such a small amount of it goes a long way. I'm talking in the parts per million, you can smell it. The chlorine coming out the header in the plant is concentrated. Imagine smelling the same thing as pool chlorine, but so intense that it takes your breath away. All you can do when you get blasted is run upwind of it to get some relief. I hate working with chlorine. I work around a lot more dangerous chemicals and hazards, but next to electricity - chlorine is the one I hate working around the most. It gets in your lungs and makes HCl.
And the dangerous thing about chlorine in a line is if it's sitting in a carbon steel pipe and heated to over 150 degrees C, you will get a pipe fire that will get away from you in a hurry. There's a chemical reaction that happens with carbon steel, chlorine, and heat over 150 degrees C (a fire surpasses that big time).
The hazards that come with chlorine plays a big role in why Dow sold off it's chlorinated organics business to Olin.

My best friend who is maintenance for contractor at DOW was just called in to get everything started back up. Hopefully everything goes smooth

Evacuation at Dow Plaquemines **Chlorine leak**
LAO requires everyone inside the gates to have an escape respirator.
ETA: Unless they are given one at the gate. I know for a fact the drivers do not bring one in their truck.

Well, as Boat pointed out, I am a girl.
I guess that must come with some kind of overreaction leeway or expectation so IDK why y'all are so surprised.
And I am stuck in Arkansas for two more days..so I am in an unusually shitty mood to begin with.
