[RC] Graniteville train wreck. - Sisu West Ranch

I just pulled up some newspaper articles on this accident.

First, the bad news. The chemical released was Chlorine gas. Chlorine forms a pale yellow/green cloud. It huggs the ground and kills or injures all living things. That is the reason it was used as a war gas in WWI. It produces burns to the eyes, skin and lungs. If you survive the initial effects you will have chemical pneumonia and possible long term scaring to the lungs.

Now for the good news. The chemical released was Chlorine gas. Chlorine quickly reacts with whatever is in the envirornment and becomes harmless. There will be no long term effects on the area.
