Update on the chlorine gas leak at Aqaba.
Suspect that it might be late for an evacuation ... but there are beaches across the area that might be affected.

A still from the video at the linky, right after the tank dropped onto the ship. I understand that the ship is Hong Kong flagged.
25 tons of chlorine per tank ...

I got a small whiff of chlorine gas once when I was touring a semi-conductor plant and it was not pleasant. It would be a horrible way to die.

Aqaba was the port captured in WW I by T.E. Lawrence acting as advisor to native desert troops.
