3 hospitalized after possible exposure to gas or chemical
Three people were hospitalized after nearly a dozen people became sick at a shopping center in North Miami Beach Friday night.
A strong odor was reported at the Home Depot at the Mall at 163rd Street, with people possibly exposed to a gas or chemical.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue officials said 11 people were checked out, with three of those people taken to the hospital.
The building was cleared but people were later allowed back inside.
Officials said they don't know exactly what caused the incident.
I get that every day when the VC heat up their left overs in the break room microwaves.
That’s the power of Home Depot.
Too much beer and eggs for lunch.
Got it LOL
(Chlorine gas in artillery shells was used in WWI to disable combatants--a permanent destruction of lung tissue.)
Launch a Tomahawk missile.
And unmistakeable... there would be no mystery, as in this case.

Someone probably cracked open a valve on a forklift propane tank.
I almost died one time cleaning house, I was an idiot and thought mixing bleach and ammonia would clean up real good. I couldn’t breath, called emergency, and they told me to sit outside but it is possibly fatal and there’s nothing they can do. I sat outside thinking I didn’t want to die from cleaning the house.

Home brew poison gas attack! Yikes!
They traced it to the illegals stinking up the parking lot.
Interesting. Thanks for posting.
My SIL doesn’t read labels (it would slow her down) and has been known to think that if she combines the strengths of various products it will clean better.
She laughed at my response to that method when I told her that bleach and ammonia will kill you. I’m pretty sure she thought I was exaggerating. So far, she’s never combined products with those ingredients
I get sick in the “cleaning aisle” at the supermarket — unfortunately, they’ve removed all the chemicals that actually clean, and replaced them with strong smelling perfumes.
There was a product in the 70s that you could spray on old, thick, hard soap scum, wait a few minutes, and rinse off. It was made by Dow Chemical. I don’t know of anything that comes close now.
Hubby ruined my brand new non-stick baking pan with cooking spray. First new pan in 40 years and the old ones were inherited from grandma. Told him not to but he knows best. No amount of elbow grease or cleanser has made a dent in it. Imagine what that stuff does to your insides.
My late grandfather was a WW1 vet. He was gassed and lost a part of his lung because of it.
Assume nothing.
