Sussex gas cloud

Well they have been expecting something, paramedics are now carrying antidotes for nerve gas.

I suspect it was something dumped from a tanker that reacted to the salt water.

Any chemists amongst us?

Anya, surely North Korea?!! Could be connected to one of the wars, a lot of shipping was sunk in the channel.

Perhaps I've been watching too much Homeland ?

Interesting theory Cindersdad.

I wouldn't be surprised if it came from SW France. The temperatures have been scorching here and a hot dry wind from SE.

South Korea for sure.

They now don't think it came from France
I don't think there are any conspiracy theories and call me naive if you want but no I don't think its the least bit sinister we had one up here once a dreadful smell of gas pervaded the town and it turned out yo be something from a rig or boat or similar
There have been mass chemical problems before with water poisoning all the fish and things like that I don't think a factory has to necessarily be close by

It wasn't a mist just a bad smell kitty

Apparently there has been another one previously which was traced to a chemical plant in France - I think they are upset with us for leaving the EU!

I have a theory which may be completely wrong. Many ships were sunk in the channel during the first and second world wars with all sorts in the holds. Shells take a long time to corrode and leak but eventually they do. During WW1 gas was used, the effect would be similar.

Otherwise IS may be responsible.

Err ....Yes.
There are no chemical factories in that area.
Shipping passing by maybe...with an unsafe cargo?
