Question

& killed by just smeling the gas?

Answer 1

In Russia there was a nuclear accident:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_disaster
"The Chernobyl disaster was a major accident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant on April 26, 1986 at 01:23 a.m., consisting of an explosion at the plant and subsequent radioactive contamination of the surrounding geographic area. The power plant is located at 51°23′23″N, 30°5′58″E, near Pripyat, Ukraine, Soviet Union. It is regarded as the worst accident ever in the history of nuclear power. A plume of radioactive fallout drifted over parts of the western Soviet Union, Eastern and Western Europe, Scandinavia, the UK, Ireland and eastern North America. Large areas of Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia were badly contaminated, resulting in the evacuation and resettlement of over 336,000 people. About 60% of the radioactive fallout landed in Belarus, according to official post-Soviet data."

In India, there was a chemical gas leak:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhopal_Disaster
"The Bhopal Disaster took place in the early hours of the morning of December 3, 1984, in the heart of the city of Bhopal, India, in the state of Madhya Pradesh. It was caused by the release of 40 tonnes of methyl isocyanate (MIC) gas from a Union Carbide India, Limited pesticide plant owned by Union Carbide. The International Medical Commission on Bhopal was established in 1993 to respond to the disaster. The BBC gives the death toll as nearly 3,000 people dead initially, and at least 15,000 from related illnesses since. Greenpeace cites 20,000 total deaths as its conservative estimate. Bhopal is frequently cited as the world's worst industrial disaster.["

Answer 2

A couple of years ago, terrorists in, I think it was Moscow, took over a theater and demanded something regarding Kosovo or something. They had suicide vests on I think. So Russian Special Forces were brought in and they flooded the theater with noxious gas that knocked everybody out and then went in armed. But they met some resistance if I remember correctly, but took all the bad guys out. Later, it was found that they used so much of the gas that many many innocent hostages later died anyway from complications. It was on the news I'm sure you can find it on an internet news archive.

Answer 3

I believe you are thinking about the Bhopal disaster in India, not Russia.
On the night of Dec. 2nd and 3rd, 1984, a Union Carbide plant in Bhopal, India, began leaking 27 tons of the deadly gas methyl isocyanate. None of the six safety systems designed to contain such a leak were operational, allowing the gas to spread throughout the city of Bhopal. Half a million people were exposed to the gas and 20,000 have died to date as a result of their exposure. More than 120,000 people still suffer from ailments caused by the accident and the subsequent pollution at the plant site. These ailments include blindness, extreme difficulty in breathing, and gynecological disorders. The site has never been properly cleaned up and it continues to poison the residents of Bhopal. In 1999, local groundwater and wellwater testing near the site of the accident revealed mercury at levels between 20,000 and 6 million times those expected. Cancer and brain-damage- and birth-defect-causing chemicals were found in the water; trichloroethene, a chemical that has been shown to impair fetal development, was found at levels 50 times higher than EPA safety limits. Testing published in a 2002 report revealed poisons such as 1,3,5 trichlorobenzene, dichloromethane, chloroform, lead and mercury in the breast milk of nursing women. In 2001, Michigan-based chemical corporation Dow Chemical purchased Union Carbide, thereby acquiring its assets and liabilities. However Dow Chemical has steadfastly refused to clean up the site, provide safe drinking water, compensate the victims, or disclose the composition of the gas leak, information that doctors could use to properly treat the victims.

Answer 4

Chernobyl- a nuclear power plant had an explosion that killed milions wihtin a 50 mile radius and cause health problems to many more. Since the gas was nuclear- it probably killed on impact like Hiroshima

Answer 5

Chernobyl nuclear disaster a nuclear plant exploded all the children got radiation poisoning and there skin started peeling and they could not have children and some died

Answer 6

there was an accident near a large biochemical complex in the eighties. Yet, it killed hunderds, not a million. Apart from that, i have no idea.

EDIT: It might have been Anthrax-clouds in Sverdlovsk (now renamed as Yekaterinenburg).

Answer 7

Nothing more special than the usual political malady !

Answer 8

It was the Chernobl Disaster. It was a nuclear explosion.

Answer 9

huh?? i think you're talking about Chernobyl, and that was a nuclear reactor explosion, it gave locals radiation sickness.

Answer 10

what ??? im not aware of such incident
