Another chlorine leak on Wed: "A chlorine gas leak created a toxic cloud that sickened more than 50 chemical plant workers and neighbors and closed two highways Wednesday...Two mobile home parks near the plant were evacuated..."When the firefighters come to your door with gas masks on, it's like World War III," trailer park resident Rosemary Benson said. " http://www.cnn.com/2002/US/08/14/chemical.leak.ap/index.html   Where is the outrage? No activists were quoted (that I saw) calling for the shutdown of this industry.
