Serious Kallang Becomes Ground Zero For Chemical Leak! 11 People Infected! GPGT!

SINGAPORE - A chemical leak at a building in Kallang injured 11 people and prompted the Singapore Civil Defence Force to dispatch its Hazardous Materials (Hazmat) officers to the scene, where the leak was contained within a sealed production room.

The incident occurred at a wafer production firm, RF360 Singapore, at 166 Kallang Way.

SCDF first said in a Facebook post at 2.11pm that it was alerted to the incident and deployed its resources there.


It said in an update at 3.47pm that it was alerted to the incident around 1.40pm and dispatched two fire engines, a fire bike, three support vehicles and two ambulances to the scene. Eleven workers were taken to Tan Tock Seng Hospital in a conscious and stable condition. ST understands the affected workers said they suffered from skin irritation.


The leak had been shut off before SCDF arrived by the built-in safety system at the premises.

SCDF said its Hazmat detectors showed "no reading of the chemical vapour in the production room".


"The surrounding environment is also safe with no traces of the chemical in the air," it said.

The police said in a Facebook post at 2.21pm that they were alerted to the incident and police resources are also at the scene.

When ST was at the scene around 3.15pm, SCDF officers were seen removing boxes from the premises. When asked, a spokesman said they contained chemical protection suits for officers.

Gas! Gas! Gas!

Nothing lah, it was VX Kim's ghost visiting SG52, we invited him for coming 7th Month Feast!

It is a mock exercise lah. LOL!

i'd rather be on land and run from gas leak than get stuck in plane and choke from fellow passenger's friendly flatulence.

Air travel delays happen for all sorts of reasons, but landing and then evacuating an entire plane over a fart feels like a new one. That’s what reportedly happened at Raleigh-Durham International Airport Sunday, though, with a plane being landed and evacuated after passengers became ill, and the reason later being attributed to “passed gas.” Here are more details from local CBS affiliate WNCN:

A person who “passed gas” on an American Airlines plane on Sunday afternoon forced all passengers off the jet, officials said.

The incident happened when passengers on the flight became ill with nausea and headaches, according to a spokesperson with Raleigh-Durham International Airport.

The flight, which was not identified by RDU officials, landed at the airport around 4 p.m. when the incident was reported.

All the passengers were taken off the plane and after the incident was investigated it was determined that a passenger “passed gas,” the official said.
