[FONT='Tahoma','sans-serif']Gas Attack in Colombo VERY SOON.......[/FONT]
Its always beyond our comprehension, it's unimaginable sometimes. But it always happened making us helpless and ashamed. Our defenses denied LTTE having aircrafts. Proclaimed to shoot them down the moment they are airborne. Blamed people like Iqbal Athas as traitors for reporting it. But now it has become a fact, they managed to invade our airspace six times and escape without a scratch.
Recently media reported that LTTE is planning to use chemical weapons. Our defenses denied it bluntly, weeks after that they attacked our army using chemical weapons. Well its said to be none lethal version, CS gas. But this news is startling. It's reported that some of our soldiers became ill after that.
What if LTTE use these weapons on civilians, CS gas in a fully packed bus could be lethal enough to kill many innocent people. Or they could even use a lethal gas like Chlorine.Like in Japan.LTTE will only have minor effect on our army. If they use gas in open areas .Chemical weapons are successful only if they are deployed in large amounts, Possibly from air. But there is a possibility of LTTE using chemical weapons on civilians. Government should take necessary steps in advising the public of ways to survive a gas attack.
Lets not wait to close the gate after the horse has run away. These are some ways to survive Mustard or chlorine attack.
Chlorine Gas
1.Yellow,green gas with the strong smell of bleach might be chlorine
2.Move quickly into an area with clean air
3. try to hold your breath until you move away.
3. Don't stay indoors
4. Move to higher ground ( chlorine is denser than air)
5. Urinate on a cloth and hold it to your nose (urine crystallize chlorine, this could be very useful for our
army).
6. Remove cloths which touched the gas.
7. Do not vomit.
8. Wash your body throughly.
9. Stay calm, panicking may increase the amount of gas that you inhale
10. Don't try to cover your kids face, try to cover your nose first
then you can help the kids
Mustard Gas
1. Burning or itching on the skin or onion smell gas is a sign of musted gas
2.Move to higher ground
3.Cover your skin to avoid burning
4. Do not vomit, drink milk
5. Wash your body throughly.
If you have any other information please add-up, Can anyone translate this into Sinhala and Tamil & post it in a blog, or circulate among people. It could be useful, lets not wait until the government do it, they are always late.
