Great - that's 20 miles from me. It's a warm night, but I'll still close the windows.

Anyone know if a gas mask is useful against cyanide gas? I'm not too far from Yonkers.

Cyanide truck in Mexico was found today. However, 9.5 tons of the 10 ton cargo of cyanide was missing.

I know you are just reporting what you hear, but how does that make sense?

Zoiks! Wonder if this might somehow be related to the 10 tons of sodium cyanide missing from a truck in Mexico...?

Better not jump to hasty conclusions. The media will be all over this soon if it is true as reported, and more details will become available.

I don't think that there would be a need to quarantine people for a poison gas attack. It wouldn't be contagious. This sounds like something else entirely.
