Wait, what happens if the chemical mixes in with the Wisconsin blizzard?

That's a bad combo!!!

It begins?

Talk about bad timing....

How come they very rarely tell people what the chemical is?

I knoes. I'm wondering if it's hydrofluoric...something used in plating?

Looks like hydrochloric acid spill was the cause. Fumes were contained to within the plant. No significant injuries but five people were taken to hospital with respiratory irritation.

My building, right next door to the plastics plant, was evacuated for about three hours until they cleared out the air in that plant, then it was an all clear. Five people were taken to hospital with respiratory irritation and the rest of the 60 people were taken to the high school gym where they were evaluated and then released. Talked to a lady in another office next to mine said she been working there 20 years and never has anything like that happened there, then she says that it had to be on this day (the 20th), with a chuckle, but you could tell her nerves were shot.
