Remember to breathe, or perhaps better to hold your breath

eMail from Mountain Equipment Co-op, March 5, 4015


Fire at the Vancouver container dock, March 4, 2015

I received the email at the top from Mountain Equipment Co-op yesterday morning. (March 5, 2015) Nothing wrong with that except that the day before, on March 4, 2015, there was a fire at the Vancouver container dock. 

A container full of trichloroisocyanuric acid caught fire sending thick clouds of toxic smoke through the north eastern part of the city. Resident were advised not to go outside and to avoid breathing the smoke. (See the full story.)

So, really this is just a case of bad timing, but a bit funny in a pathetic way. We should all remember to breathe, just be careful what we breathe.
