Didn’t Standard Hotel have lots of acid in it?

[grey_whiskers]

Muriatic acid, ostensibly for cleaning swimming pools but concentrated and in such quantity as to dissolve bones and all.

A large amount of muriatic acid was dumped by hotel workers at the Standard Hotel in L.A. on Jan 19, 2009, on Monday. This acid is used to dissolve bodies in.

So I wonder what events took place at that hotel on Sat and Sunday, Jan 17, 18, 2009.

ABOUT THAT HOTEL.....

In 2009 or so there was a yuuuge mysterious chemical vapor cloud that suddenly presented itself dangerously close to an L.A. subway stop:

The authorities had longheld fears a target like that might be attractive to Islamic baddies so instead of treating the incident like one of the many overcooked brownies incidents they routinely get (big eye roll), the responder fear-level that time was appropriately sky-high.

The LA Fire Dept, a hazmat team and even the FBI responded; the exact location was the exact location was the West Hollywood branch of the Standard Hotel.

The hotel staff first claimed they’d used chlorine and a small amount of muriatic acid (which ABSOLUTELY is never used to clean pools, as it will even dissolve teeth) to clean the hotel pool.

But the chem cloud had been yuge so the cops didn’t buy that and found several discarded 55 gallon barrels of muriatic acid (I used to use it in a lab I worked for and standard instructions are to wash any discarded container several times and then DISCARD the container..!).

The hotel almost had to pay a $500,000 fine.

It’s a huge mystery cuz that volume of muriatic acid might be enough to clean 1,000 or even 10,000 swimming pools, not one.

Some people note that when Mexican narcoCartels use acid for dead body disposal, they use muriatic acid so the totally unproven rumor is that at some point someone at the hotel might have literally poured an ex-person/people down the drain, there.

Here is the original link for the incident:

IIRC, it was empty drums of Muratic Acid.
