Anyone notice the two bottles of water on the shelf?

Maybe left there by the maintenance crew. They have to install a new set of gaskets every time it's used; I read somewhere that there is only one manufacturer that can make them; each set is used only once, and costs around $20K.

Also notice the explosion-proof luminaire (lighting fixture) in the upper left of the chamber. Hydrocyanic acid gas is flammable, with a heat of enthalpy of -427 kJ mol⁻¹; about 1/2 that of natural gas.

Also notice the explosion-proof luminaire (lighting fixture) in the upper left of the chamber. Hydrocyanic acid gas is flammable, with a heat of enthalpy of -427 kJ mol−1; about 1/2 that of natural gas. =================================================== My question would be why exactly do you NEED a light in a gas chamber? And also, why exactly do you need POISON gas? What's wrong with just pumping in carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, or nitrogen? Either way you'll be dead in minutes.
