Ammonia Cloud Crisis

A toxic ammonia cloud silently dropped at a Virginia food plant, leaving workers unconscious

as they tried to escape. Over thirty people were rushed to hospitals.

No alarms went off, no evacuation signals sounded. Employees had no

idea which way to run, walking through a deadly, invisible cloud due

to a flawed emergency plan. The facility stayed partially closed for over a month.

This disaster resulted in three million dollars in damage and lost production, highlighting critical safety

failures.
