GAs GAS GAS
Amen one step closer to heaven😉😇
so where was this gas going, to russia??
Questions is why is Jordan shipping what appears to be mustard gas, and where was it going? Russia? Maybe one of the terrorist crossing America’s southern border? What’s is going to take to wake up? That may have been bound for NYC, L.A., Miami… I worked for a water company years ago, and the chlorine gas wasn’t yellow. Something is not being reported.
Just fyi, that was mustard gas and I know of 2 countries that use it, gonna guess this ship was heading east.
ACME yellow gas!

That gas should’ve gone the other way to where it belongs….🤔
Mosad ?
First time I see a gas toxic and it sure look scary I usually thought they spread it slowly.
It depends on how it’s being released. In this case, a big tank suddenly depressurized, which means it all comes out immediately.
Thats scary its my understanding that most air we breath is mostly nitrogen and then a lil oxygen and other stuff floating aroud
this is sad
This far from Armageddon? Isreal is last?
2-4-5 Trioxin
Blame Fortnite for this OP gas grenade
pls nerf 😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤
Call of Duty Warzone. Get to the safezone
was that going to russia
Bummer!!
Time too sue
if I ever invisioned what yellow cake looked like this would be that.😅
A very dangerous job.
Omg !rip
Better them than us. Russia is disappointed for failed delivery.
Crane operations was probably a leftard.
Yikes! Truly terrifying for those there! Condolences for all involved!
Terrible 😢
did Israel send help?
They offered. Jordan hasn’t responded
Not an accident. Probably done by one of the CIA funded terrorist groups.
Part of the genocide efforts
How long is it take to blame Israel for it?
I’m in Jordan rn and I live there at the hotel and it’s creeping me out
WHAT KIND OF GAS WAS IT??
The same gas used during ww1
(Chlorine)
🎻🎻🎻🎻😆MAN
Nova gas irl. condolences to the victim
Just speculation, but impure phosgene is a yellowish liquid and is a chlorine compound. It has industrial applications. I know they said it was a gas, but that’s a really opaque cloud for a gas release. It’s certainly not pure chlorine.
Thats scary its my understanding that most air we breath is mostly nitrogen and then a lil oxygen and other stuff floating aroud. I wonder how that yellow gas affects it… Is it dyed yellow????
Amending my post – chlorine dioxide is a yellowish gas which can have orange appearance under some conditions.
what week akamak12345
Rip to the people that died and i hope everyone recovers quickly🙏 And how was that crane carrying and holding the the tank?
They always work unsafe in those countries.. they don’t give a poop
That’s a FUMBLE!
The ropes couldn’t keep the weight.
Everything could be checked & still it happened. That’s a FUMBLE for you.
looks like were goignt to get a new episode on USCSB
Aqaba is a nice place, used by King Solomons navy. Tragic event. Spent a lot of time with Jordanian Navy next door.
Prayers go out to these people. I had a small bit go into my lungs as a teen working on a pool. The pain was immense. Cant catch a breath. You vomit brown. Hope they turn out okay.
Fake news

Zombie gas
Deal the toll will rise when cancer sets in. That’s awful 😔
RIP. That would be like dying to a chemical weapon. Hopefully it doesn’t make it to the stratosphere or the ozone will feel this one too.
McRonalds Mustard
And that boys and girls is why we have job safety standards
When ever something like this is handled everyone in close proximity to the Chlorine tank should have a respirator on just in case it is damaged.
You are the kind that demands children to use full armor when riding a bike bc one died.
🙏
working hard risking your life for 2 american dollars per hour…. there should be a riot tbh
Pray for the survivors , that’s gotta be a tough recovery
Who’s in charge of Amerikkka really ? Nazis Rogue or incompetents crime snydacate?…
That’s not chlorine
WW1 be like
Chlorine gas was used as a weapon during WW1
Chlorine gas turns into hydrochloric acid on contact with water. Hydrochloric acid is very, very corrosive and nasty. Human lungs contain a lot of moisture. Guess what happens when you breathe in chlorine gas?
No way something so nasty should be in a container so weak that it bursts open after being slightly dropped.
Looks healthy! Epic opps!
Best recovery wished for these workers!
Prayers for the families 🙏🙏🙏
COD warzone
Very sad. May Allah bless them.
12 people….union carbide bopaul India. Here hold my beer 🍺 🙄
It’s that mustard gas?
What a horrific way to die , it suffocates you and simulates drowning , drowning is said to be the most painful way to die …
Tf was that?
Live terrorist and genocide by isolation manioulation and threats humiliation and human degrading https://youtu.be/qoBx4yLFukQ
Wwz
No Hazardous Chemical Safety Transport Measures at the port.
🤣🤣
https://youtu.be/2kSLQNn_FZU
Praying for all
How horrible prayers
Thanks Joe Biden
Thanks Kamala
1:17 Recommondation 🥹 when English is said by someone of other language it makes you think about spelling and what words really mean
i was like a few kilometers away from it i was in aqaba and came back to amman after 36 hours and saw the port on the way back home
Chlorine gas turns into hydrochloric acid when it reaches the lungs 🫁. When I was in the Navy this happened to someone and they became permanently disabled.
Witnessing events doesn’t reduce injuries, Einstein. Your people are suffering, can’t you get anything right?
Hope the cheap wages were worth their lives
My heart goes out to those who passed and were injured
Omgggggggg…..so sadddddd…. God Bless u all
Another increase in chlorine tablets???
Sahih al-Bukhari 5134 (Hadith)
Narrated `Aisha:
that the Prophet PBUH married her when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old. Hisham said: I have been informed that `Aisha remained with the Prophet PBUH for nine years (i.e. until the death of the Prophet.).
hope the jetpack guy is ok
Kremlin Bagel strikes again 🤣🤯
Morons on the job
That’s horrible
That’s tragic and unfortunately all these chemicals and processes are basic necessity for humans to continue the life most of us know
They went straight caustic
Guaranteed the communist Terrorist Cartels have something to do with this.
Invest in a osha company in Jordan lol
That’s terrible.
Ship had diarrhea 😮
CL2 gas is horrific… I do not miss working with those Ton Cylinders.
