  1. this is sad and awful and i hope madrid fucks barca today. 

  2. What is going on in Spain lately? Wasn’t it just last week that they had that huge unexplained power outage? And now they have this toxic chlorine cloud. I hope they’re okay.

  4. Similar thing happened to me about fifteen years ago. I got an emergency warning message on my phone, it was a great excuse to go back to sleep.

  5. I thought chlorine clouds had a light yellow colour…

  6. When do people start to question that all the things that are going on could be down to a certain big country that ends with -ussia 

  7. I’m pretty sure this is the same plant that had a explosion a few years back. So id imagine the safety record isn’t great there .

  10. Well, they didn’t want more tourists. Good enough reason not to go there now. *Shrug*

  11. I used to work in refineries and chemical manufacturing and it was always said that one full inhale of a cloud of pure chlorine was certain death

  12. Live near a pool chemical plant and recently it caught fire/exploded (AGAIN, not the first time) and it wasn’t on this level but it was awful. Eyes so red and painful, throat tight and chest burning when breathing… and that awful smell.

    I feel bad for those dealing w this because it is awful and takes time to go away.

  14. … What happens when the dogs need to go outside?

    Do they make toy-breed sized gas masks? I know they make them for K9 Units but what about the itty-bitty breeds?

  15. Get Russians out of the country and that shit won’t happen
