It would also kill the thousands/tens of thousands of Muslims around the ammonia tanks, right?
I would more say it would be like Bhopal India and the Union Carbide failure it would most definitely be a nightmare.
muslim martyrs as usual.
Hint to Israel— place all dangerous facilities close to Palestinian areas but far from Israeli areas. Just in case.
Ammonia is nasty stuff, and the living organisms in its presence would suffer hugely, but only for a short time. Ammonia is MUCH lighter than air (having a molecular weight about the same as methane) and would rise and disperse quickly, where it immediately combines with water vapor, to first form ammonium hydroxide, a rather weak base, but then almost as suddenly dissociate back into ammonia again, as it continued its rise in the atmosphere.
Ammonia is combustible, the products being water and various nitrogen oxides, but it takes plenty of heat to get it ignited, and is quickly self-extinguishing.
No human being has ever been able to adapt to more than a few parts per million of the stuff in the air we breathe, and it is one of the few substances that humans can detect by smell at EXTREMELY low concentrations. Only it is not really odor, as much the sharp acrid effect on the olfactory nerve endings being destroyed by the combination of ammonia with the moisture present at those nerve endings.
Liquid ammonia, upon being released from pressure, becomes a vapor immediately, and absorbs a great deal of heat from its surroundings (ammonia actually makes an excellent refrigerant medium). It also vastly expands, becoming almost explosive in its expansion.
These freaks probably believe that if one muslim death resulted in the death of two or even one Jew it would be worth it, besides any muslim that died would be a martyr, who could ask for anything more?
Fire up!
There’s more where they came from.
