Methane is NASTY stuff. Unlike the gas in your stove - to which an acrid odor is added - you can’t generally smell methane easily, and it cleanly REPLACES the oxygen in your lung alveoli, so you don’t realize you are suffocating, until you black out and it is far too late.

One of the reasons you never go into a deserted mine without protective and survival gear.

Methane is a natural underground gas. It also goes by the name “natural gas”. It’s odorless and colorless; the familiar stench is a mercaptan additive.
Birds are very sensitive to air quality ... the literal “canary in a coal mine” was a primitive ... but very effective ... methane gas detector.

The soldiers were searching for the body of a soldier who was killed in gunfire in May 2022 during Operation Claw Lock - a military operation led by Turkey against militants from the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) in Iraq which included air strikes on caves as well as a ground incursion.

Why wouldn’t a sophisticated government operation like this be using handheld Methane gas detectors?

>> Methane gas is not directly toxic
They’ve never smelled mine. It’s borderline toxic.

Why are Turkish soldiers doing search and clear operations in northern Iraq? Doesn’t Iraq have their own military, and why are U.S. troops still there if Turkish soldiers are being utilized?
