Chlorine gas leak sends 350 plus to Philadelphia hospitals
Dense chlorine gas streamed from a broken pipe of a rail car in Northeast Philadelphia causing 350 plus people to seek treatment. Firefighters and policemen entered unmasked and fell ill as the gas, heavier than air, swept through a dense neighborhood. The leak began at Wonder Chemical Co when a copper pipe snapped, and Arnold Lanza shut the valve, averting greater tragedy. About 70 were admitted with breathing problems and throat irritation.
