At least ten people are dead and 251 injured after a toxic gas tank exploded and released toxic gas over a Jordanian port when workers dropped it on to the dock of a ship.
The crane can be seen dangling the container over the ship before releasing it early, letting it fall to the ground where it explodes in a plume of yellow smoke.
Workers were trying to place the tank on to a container ship, with officials said the cylinder contained chlorine about to be exported overseas.
Port workers were caught on camera trying to flee the fumes.
A statement seen by the Jordan Times said the leak resulted from a technical malfunction in the switch of the 1,500-litre chlorine cylinder.
HOW TOXIC IS CHLORINE?
Chlorine, which is normally used to disinfect swimming pools and sanitize sewage, is toxic in concentrated doses.
Most incidents of chlorine poisoning result from ingesting household cleaners, as it is common in cleaning products.
Chlorine poisoning can cause symptoms throughout your body. Respiratory symptoms include coughing, difficulty breathing and fluid inside the lungs.
In extreme cases, it can cause skin burns and vision loss, changing the pH balance of the blood.
The Imperial State of Germany used chlorine gas as a weapon against the allies during the First World War to clear enemy forward positions in the battle of Ypres - although France was actually was the first to use gas and the British later used it in combat.
It can react with water in the lungs to form hydrochloric acid, resulting in approximately 30,000 deaths on both sides.
The Geneva Protocol banned the use of chlorine gas in 1925.

Just to remind you - when chlorine goes into the lungs it reacts with the water there and turns into hydrochloric acid, which starts decomposing your lungs. Very nasty stuff indeed

Chlorine gas reacts with water to form hydrochloric acid and hypochlorous acid (which is a weak acid, but strong oxidizing agent that reacts readily with Reactive Oxygen Species). Chloramines and chlorine dioxide also can form- which are also toxic.
Hcl by itself isn't dangerous-it depends on the concentration. A small exposure wouldn't cause a high concentration of HCl to form in the lungs- and even such, other side products would probably be more deadly than the HCl (at least at such a low molarity).

This is the same chemical that was banned in war after WW1. Nasty stuff. Good thing it's not colorless like most gases.
Also, this guy saying the medical professionals need to share credit with god for saving victims at the hospital. Smh. And some people seriously want a theocracy in the western world too. There's literally a thread about it here on wpd.
