The lawsuit alleges Perez’s death was the result of negligence and claims the companies involved failed to warn him about what attorneys describe as “significant problems” involving hazardous hydrogen gas leaks in compressed hydrogen cylinders mounted to transport trailers.
It sounds like he was aware enough to report the leak, but the company made a bet that it would not be a problem. They lost.
i can’t imagine ANYBODY with any sense at all would ignore a hydrogen leak ... well except maybe if dot Indians were running the company: Sighn: “Sanja, we’ve had a report of a hydrogen leak.” Sanja: “Sighn, ignore it, the driver isn’t one of us.”
Because hydrogen is the smallest molecule, it easily escapes from containers.
The guys at the gate knew enough about the hazard which is probably why they told him to park it somewhere else!
