Blue Acid Mist Forces Chicago Evacuation
A leak in a 500,000 gallon chemical tank sent a blue acid mist over Chicago's South Side and nearby suburbs prompting evacuation of a half square mile area. Officials warned the fumes could be lethal to children or those with lung conditions while a tank rupture risk haunted the situation. The leak, caused by a valve failure, started at 100 pounds per minute and was reduced by half as engineers acted. Residents in Harvey and other areas two to ten miles away reported noticing the odor as winds shifted.
