Has there been any posting regarding an incident that occurred on a Vancouver, B.C. city bus a few days ago involving the release of an aerosol? Supposedly people are still in hospital and news coverage is suppressed. The individual who released the aerosol was said to ask the bus driver if he was having a good day and then said "You won't be for long". The individual was characterized as a "non-white" who departed from the bus and left the area. An early report (don't know if it was published media) mentioned phosgene as a possible agent.

My sketchy knowledge of this comes from a poster on another forum who I have been following for years. He lives in White Rock, B.C., and at one time was a member of a B.C. provincial government (or the head of a B.C. political party -- I can't remember which). Sorry if this topic has already been discussed. I'll update if I find any more information.

Phosgene. Phosgene is a choking agent. When released into the air as a gas, it forms a white cloud and smells like newly mown hay or green corn. If inhaled at high concentrations long enough, it causes severe breathing problems and fatal lung congestion. Like chlorine, there's no antidote, but survival is possible with quick treatment.

Hi Bearwash!

I've been wondering about those folks exposed (supposedly) to phosgene as well. There were brown organic looking pellets of some sort...when I read about them they appeared like perhaps owl or small animal droppings.
