Methyl methacrylate (MMA) is the momomer that polymerizes into plexiglass. The process of polymerization releases heat, which in turn accelerates polymerization. This is normally prevented in bulk storage by the addition of inhibitors. Corrosion and contamination can affect this.
Someone fucked up here. The runaway reaction has started and the only thing they can do now is to try to control the pace by removing heat.
The vapor being released is likely MMA, toxic, flammable, and heavier than air.
Not a good situation overall
Wife said I can’t buy an Ayn Thor for my go bag. Asked if I can get more AAs for it at least. She said “are you gunna’ use thise for your game boy?” I said no. She said okay. The fool.
I snuck my Odin 3 into my bag on the sly.
Cant stay bored when the apocalypse comes.
“Disneyland getting polymerized by toxic gas” was not on my hellworld bingo card, but in retrospect, maybe it should have been.
To any comrades living in Orange KKKounty, stay safe
Wait. There’s something in Disneyland that isn’t already 120% plastic?
Not anymore.
Greatest country on earth BTW
stormfront link cw:
linkThe fire dept said the PSV was no longer venting, at the press conference, and so it was not releasing any gas, but then they said the manufacturer of the liquid had basically run out of ideas on neutralizing it and had given up. I’m 2.3 miles upwind of the tanks and that last statement makes me want to evacuate
i live in GG, following closely. I hope the chemical and safety board does an investigation on this and posts a YouTube video analysis. apparently the GG mayor said explosion was inevitable, so if the winds blow my way I’m evacuating
watch this space, i guess
There’s no stopping it once it gets going. It’s too late to put inhibitors all they can do is try to keep it cool

latest update, apparently tank is at 90 degrees lmao it’s fucked

In case you’re wondering:
The aerospace facility in the town of Garden Grove is about 5 miles (8km) from the Disneyland theme park, which is outside the evacuation zone and is open as normal. The facility is about 35 miles southeast of Los Angeles.
So far the evacuation zone is a 1-mile radius
There’s another comment in that thread that “the air smells weird at Disneyland”
M’lord, a foul wind blows at Toon Town, this be a bad omen…
We have the Sierra Madre at home
So far the evacuation zone is a 1-mile radius
Treatlerites so committed to their ideology that they yearn for their own taste of Zyklon B.Hell hath no fury like a Disney Adult deprived of their quality time creeping on the park cast members.
WHAT OF THE CHURROS?
I love living in a society where they can use AI to track your genitalia through wifi but our HazMat response Experts’ best at measuring the temp of a tank is to fly some drones and scan the outside (apparently not realizing they’re only measuring the tank temp, not the contents)

Not gonna read, can someone tell me if it’s good effects?
it turns you into a plastic lego person, which is the horrifying, soylent green-type secret of how all lego people are made
Well, at least there’s not an impending plastic shortage too, right?
This kind of instability in the metropole might be an opportunity for Cabo San Lucas to assert its independence
One tank? This is ridiculous. Just find a bigger tank to put it in so the vapour can collect
momomer
dommy momomerLol
Isn’t it better than the alternative for it to be heavier than air since it won’t spread as far
People are mostly pretty close to ground level.
the problem is it can collect in deadly concentrations in low lying areas instead of dissipating
I imagine that would also make it far more lethal in the areas it does spread to
Look at the Bhopal Union Carbide incident
Pets and children were affected more due to the gas pooling
