Halon?

I'll bet that's it.
And the ozone hole will be back, all that BrFC.

Except...I believe that no halon has been made for quite a number of years and what is left is owned/controlled by the Gubmint. I could be wrong. I only know what I’ve read on the subject. Halon makes sense but, where did they get it?

I hate when I’m in a barren frozen wasteland and get killed by a fire.

Only three days since this photo (click here) surfaced.

One to hold the sign, one to take the photo. I'm not a conspiracy nut, so this must be a coincidence.

Why do they say “killed” instead of “found dead”?

Something killed them. That something is/was located at the station. Both were barely alive when they were discovered, so they weren't found dead. One died on-site, shortly after discovery, the other after arriving at a medical clinic.

OK, thats makes sense.

But it hint at what it does not state: that there was some sort of foul play.

That implication would not be there if the headline had been:

"Two technicians suffer fatal injuries at Antarctic station," or: "Technicians die from unspecified cause..." etc.

That could apply to anything from smoke inhalation to being crushed under machinery to food poisoning to felonious assault --- or anything in between.

Amateur journalism. If they were killed there must be a killer. “Killed” implies a homicide. If they died from accidental causes or misadventure, then there was no killer and therefore they were not killed.
