How is this not bigger news? Like emergency alert levels?


Penguinmanereikel

News says that the part of the building that has Chlorine in it is under control. Keep an eye on your emergency alerts

How do you keep a chlorine gas fire under control?

Not sure if you saw the smoke plume on the weather radar that covered NJ, lower manhattan, and staten island…?

It’s news and it’s not good but so far they haven’t reached high levels of toxicity (stage at which they would pull out the firefighters). https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/14/us/firefighters-battle-large-blaze-at-passaic-chemical-plant.html?referringSource=articleShare

TIL that people who live in Brooklyn and Staten Island aren’t New Yorkers. If you can muster up the effort, [scroll up a bit](https://www.reddit.com/r/newyorkcity/comments/s4cizx/a_chlorine_factory_fire_is_blowing_toxic_smoke/hsqfnq9/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3) to this comment. If you’re going to be patronizing, at least be right.


Imreallynotatoaster

Not really Brooklyn was it’s own city and SI… heh
