Roughly one per year. That is probably below the historical average.

Ammonia is dangerous stuff. There are industrial accidents involving dangerous gasses on a regular basis.

Sometimes accidents are just accidents. Terrorists want us to know they have struck.

Bingo, MM. Unfortunately these accidents are not all that rare.

Followup from local radio (WSB AM) is that a forklift operator hit and ruptured an ammonia pipe. It's just the usual warehouse carelessness, unfortunately. Sometimes they hit a sprinkler pipe . . . but sometimes it's something nasty like ammonia.

VC, my husband works about three miles cross-wind from this establishment. (I called him to make sure things weren't blowing his way.) He works for a chemical company, says he's glad they don't mess with ammonia much.
