The Bad News Continues
Tianjin blasts: evacuations ordered as sodium cyanide is found. The official death toll is over 100 with hundreds more injured.
In addition to sodium cyanide officials now know that calcium carbide, potassium nitrate and sodium nitrate were stored in the warehouse in large quantities. The nitrates can be used in fertilizers, but they are also used to make gunpowder and explosives. The Oklahoma City Federal Building was blown up with a truckload of nitrate fertilizer. Calcium carbide reacts with water to create acetylene gas which is used in welding and cutting metal. Sodium cyanide is a fine powder which can kill you if you breathe it or ingest it. If it gets mixed with water or is burned it produced hydrogen cyanide gas. Zyklon B was the trade name of hydrogen cyanide gas in World War II Germany and it was responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of inmates in Nazi concentration camps.
Those four chemicals are dangerous as individuals, and they should never be stored in close proximity. You don’t use water to control a fire when any of them is present.
