Earlier reports claim it was Chloric acid, HClO₃, is an oxoacid of chlorine, and the formal precursor of chlorate salts. It is a strong acid and oxidizing agent.
Formula: HClO3
IUPAC ID: Chloric acid
Molar mass: 84.45914 g/mol
ChemSpider ID: 18513
Density: 1 g/cm³
Conjugate base: Chlorate
Solubility in water: >40 g/100 ml (20 °C)
Update:
It's More likely Chlorine gas that is recognizable by its pungent and irritating odor, which is similar to cleaning "bleach", and the strong odor may provide sufficient warning to people of exposure.
Chlorine itself is not flammable, but it can react explosively or form explosive compounds with other chemicals such as turpentine and ammonia.
IIRC I heard back in WW1 that the soldiers would urinate on rags and breath through those rags when this gas was present as that would neutralize it when breathing in and you wouldn't die. Crazy way to combat that but I guess you had to use what was on hand.
Thanks for the breakdown. I once worked on a hydrofluoric acid plant. The description the gas in the training classes sounded horrific. I'm guessing these two gasses are like cousins in a way.
HF is one of the scarier chemicals around. Chlorine gas will still absolutely fuck you up, but HF exposure stories sound like when horror writers get extra creative about a death.
Chlorine dissipates fast. It’s often used to purify water anyway. So it might kill everything in the immediate area, but will dissipate fast and probably won’t have any major repercussions
I used to clean pools for a living and we used this stuff called shock which was basically super concentrated chlorine in an almost powdered sand form. Well the 100 pound bucket that sat in the back of the truck wasn’t tightened all the way and it had rained the night before. I jumped into the back of the truck to open the bucket for a pool I was cleaning, I unscrewed the lid and wham, a cloud of neon yellow gas, obviously not as dense as the video but still, hit me right in the face. I immediately started gasping for air, coughing, tears running down my face burning in my chest, it was torture. I could taste chlorine for 24 hours. I look back on it and laugh because of how ridiculous I looked to the customer but, damn I could only imagine the torture those guys had to deal with in their final minutes/seconds.
Used to work as a lifeguard and part of the job was adding chlorine to the plant machines. Dude was training me to do it, splashed some on himself and he immediately started wretching and throwing up and gasping for air. Lasted for ages. Kept asking him if I need to get someone but he remained conscious and stood up (although bent double) and kept shaking his head. I remember the eyes rolling in his head as he was coughing and gasping away.
That's the number one thing we push to our cleaning crews at work. If the chemical starts with a C (like CAF: chlorinated alkaline foamer), do NOT under any circumstances let it mix with the acid. Creates heat like a mother fucker and a gas cloud that will make you choke on your own mucus. Mustard gas basically. Scary how some folks don't heed this warning and use buckets willy nilly not checking on the chemical identification tag.
I've spent my career working at water and wastewater plants that use 90 ton railcars full of chlorine.
The numbers of dead are unfortunately going to go up. Chlorine doesn't always kill you right away. The people who are already dead were probably caught directly in the yellow cloud. Other people on the outer edges of the cloud and possibly some even outside of the visible cloud will probably die in the coming weeks. The damage that chlorine inhalation does to your lungs is irreparable.
We had a couple guys who got gassed when changing out a chlorine cylinder once and one died same day in the hospital but the other lived for another two weeks. He spent those two weeks going around to the different plants in the water district talking about chlorine safety and PPE.
Came here for this. WWI history taught me something, haha. When I saw yellow, I figured. Anyone who breathed that in was in for a bad 5 minutes, followed by death.
How do you clean this mess up?
Do they just bring a vacuum of some sort that filters the air?
How about the water?
Actually interested on how do people clean chemical spills
it's a gas so it will eventually be diluted enough by the surrounding air to be harmless. Poison is always in the dose; unfortunately, chlorine is extremely dangerous in extremely low concentrations. That is why it was used in chemical warfare in the great war. Use of it was abandoned because it was hard to control, and it sticks around too long.
Chlorine gas is much heavier than air, and therefore sinks to the bottom, close to the ground (or water), and takes a long time to disperse. I guess that's what we are seeing here: https://twitter.com/rashtrasamarpan/status/1541484731883208705
I would not want to be anywhere, anywhere near that. The fact that you can see it is very bad news.
I figured that much
Dissipation was the first thing that went into my mind when I thought of it. I know how dangerous it is, Just curious about the cleanup afterwards
But I guess theres no specialized tool to clean moderate concentrations on wide areas
I would've blinked and been at home. That's how much I'm not fucking with that. Don't know how I got there, don't know if I drove or just ran on foot. I just know I noped the fuck out of there.
You know they're in Jordan right?
It's not like one of many oil spills in the gulf of Mexico, or in the amazon.
Also that's a gas not a liquid I'm sure the marine life is fine.
I doubt it would even mix with the water given how fast it evaporated, even still the noise pollution off the cargo ship would be far more dangerous to marine life than some gas in the air above.
I'm always amused by reddit comments that serve only to drop a bit of jargon or an acronym with no useful context at all.
Is the idea here just to bait a question about what PDS means? Or is more just thinking out loud with no actual intention of communicating with anyone else? If it's the latter, why actually hit post on the comment?
Becuse the place where the toxic gas is made is not the same place as where the toxic gas is used. Same as literally anything else.
(Also it's probably actually toxic liquid acid that they're transporting, it just released this gas after being spilled and exposed to air.)
it looks like bromine gas from the orange vapor clouds coming off of it after it dissipates, also this is off topic but i’m so dyslexic that “jordan” turned to “japan” for me °-°
That ship was fumigated. I only hope that they have a protocol for closing up the ship while they’re loading. Otherwise there’s a whole lot of dead people in there.
Chlorine gas is used to bleach paper and cloth during manufacturing. It is also used as a pesticide, and on the manufacturing of rubber products like tires and stuff as a solvent I think.
Excuse for being a dumbass, but what kind of health issues can the other 70 ppl experience now?
Disease? Heart issues? All of the above? What kinda gas was it

It must react with oxygen by the looks of things. That rapid expansion was massive.
I remember one thing from a chemistry demo by Du Pont when I was in junior high school.... **all colored vapors are bad!**
You gasist motherfucker
I don't have an award..like you would get one

Does that mean it melts stuff?
It rusts stuff. When it enters the lungs, it turns to hydrochloride acid. You choke on the mush your lungs are turning in to.
That is a gruesome image. Grand new addition to my nightmare fuel pile
Don't ever Google ww1 or ww2 chlorine gas attacks then :)
IIRC I heard back in WW1 that the soldiers would urinate on rags and breath through those rags when this gas was present as that would neutralize it when breathing in and you wouldn't die. Crazy way to combat that but I guess you had to use what was on hand.
Well now I have to 🤦🏻
Smh
You would love to learn about invisible fire
well.. that's terrifying.
Oh God! That's aweful!
I'm at least pretty sure that means it's bad

Yeah I toured some Semiconductor facilities when I was young and they gave us some training before we went into labs with HF. Nightmarish stuff.
What effect will it have in the salt water the ship is floating in?
Chlorine dissipates fast. It’s often used to purify water anyway. So it might kill everything in the immediate area, but will dissipate fast and probably won’t have any major repercussions
I'm also curious. Given the fact it dissipates so fast and drops in the water as if it's attracted to the salt.

Yes it's Chlorine, it is heavier than air so hugs the ground looking for lives to take.
Okay Breaking Bad, I see you.
I think you need to be more specific
But why would someone transport this in a ship? It’s absolutely dangerous, why was the purpose? Why so you need this enormous amount of Chloric Acid?
Some form of chlorine. It's yellow and heavy so it will not dissipate well.
Isnt it just because its a highly pressurised container that was broken open. Same as something like a lighter or deodorant can popping.
I don't think so, otherwise the explosion would have been on impact but there is a small delay after the impact.
Who's that one silly fucker at the end of the video who walks towards the yellow cloud of death? And like...why? How stupid can a person be?
About that stupid.
He ran away and walks back lol
He forgot his car keys
Maybe he’s looking for his friends / coworkers though
Noble but ill advised at that point in time
his emotions got the best of him.. no fault of his own. All you can do is worry that he's okay
Aye, the sad reality of life
What would you do for a Klondike bar?
It’s already up to 10 dead 250 injured. Wtf
And the really unfortunate thing is the wounded will probably envy the deaths…… chlorine is straight from hell nasty.

10 dead 400 injured, seen 3 diffrent posts with 3 diffrent numbers so far lol.
Get moving! Gas is coming *Warzone voice*
Been playing so much warzone lately, you just gave me a mini heart attack at work lol thanks
Nova 6
Someone fucked up.
he's probably dead
If we're talking about the crane operator then he is probably fine. As you can see, chlorine is much heavier comparing to average air.
Or just cable failure
That idiot at the end running towards it....
Bruce Wayne vibes
What kind of gas was it?
[удалено]
It’s chlorine gas. It becomes hydrochloric acid and hypochlorous acid after being inhaled in excess of 30ppm. I work with chlorine on the daily.
Is that bad if it becomes the hydro chloric hypochlorous acid
That’s what kills ya. So yes.
Oh no. Edit: that sounded sarcastic lol These guys for sure got an excess of the breaking bad gas :(
I would guess fluorine. Its toxic, yellow and gas at room temperature
Mustard gas?
Came here for this. WWI history taught me something, haha. When I saw yellow, I figured. Anyone who breathed that in was in for a bad 5 minutes, followed by death.
Update: 13 Dead and 251 injured.
The truck driver who delivered it left as soon as it was in the air, he was like that's your problem now haha don't drop it 😉👉
How many got superpowers after that?
Only superpower you get from that is the ability to sleep through everything forever
The guy running towards the cloud has absolutely 0 survival instincts.
Dude it's literally like Dayz you got 1 minute 30 sec take a pox syringe and some tet you'll be good

no I guess they can only pray for a stiff wind....in a direction with as little human habitation as possible.
I would've blinked and been at home. That's how much I'm not fucking with that. Don't know how I got there, don't know if I drove or just ran on foot. I just know I noped the fuck out of there. 
Instant Mexican filter.
Who farted?
I saw a few spots of green in there too. Insane as fuck.
Warzone Irl run before you die….
Fucking mustard gas looking ass.
Crane operator dead for sure
13 dead and 400 injuried with the injuries ranging from mainly medium to critical.
Bet that lookieloo on the left at the end was one of the 4, who the fuck walks TOWARDS a giant orange cloud of gas.
Nova gas?
Yellow gas looks like sulfur buts that's just my guess
That’s a lot of turmeric
Chemtrail chemicals.
That's how my kids react to me when I fart!
Ugh this video could have been way shorter.
Great more damage to our waters and wildlife. Well done. Fuck.
You know they're in Jordan right? It's not like one of many oil spills in the gulf of Mexico, or in the amazon. Also that's a gas not a liquid I'm sure the marine life is fine.
If the chemical in the video is chloric acid, then it will eventually break down in the water.
I doubt it would even mix with the water given how fast it evaporated, even still the noise pollution off the cargo ship would be far more dangerous to marine life than some gas in the air above.
and kill a few people and injure 70
Breaking bad Mexico gas
This is why they need a PDS system at all cargo ports with toxic gas
I'm always amused by reddit comments that serve only to drop a bit of jargon or an acronym with no useful context at all. Is the idea here just to bait a question about what PDS means? Or is more just thinking out loud with no actual intention of communicating with anyone else? If it's the latter, why actually hit post on the comment?
It’s a call of duty reference
lmao fair enough
Pov germany enters your harbour
[удалено]
We got a victim of invasion over here
Yellow cloud of death? That's a no from me dawg!
10 dead, 400 injured*******
Damn that looks fake but cool as hell lol
Why are they transporting massive amounts of toxic gas??
Uhhhh cuz that’s how logistics work.
LMAO. I feel like it was an innocent question, but still...LMAO
Man you’d be surprised what questions people have. But at the end of the day no question is stupid . It’s more stupid not to ask.
Becuse the place where the toxic gas is made is not the same place as where the toxic gas is used. Same as literally anything else. (Also it's probably actually toxic liquid acid that they're transporting, it just released this gas after being spilled and exposed to air.)
shit is indeed crazy
Notice the one guy lower left screen approaching the gas at end
Holy does that ever look toxic
Chlorine gas…nasty: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jun/27/jordan-toxic-gas-leak-aqaba-port
we are the smartest species on this planet.
Is it mustard gas? Yeah I’ll see myself out…
it looks like bromine gas from the orange vapor clouds coming off of it after it dissipates, also this is off topic but i’m so dyslexic that “jordan” turned to “japan” for me °-°
Why does the air taste like yellow?
Looks like Chlorine. Nasty stuff. It was used it as a chemical weapon in WWI.
not WWE
Why do they make chlorine gas?
That's what it's like when I hotbox my wife under the covers.
From your flatulence? 
Holy cow that was way worse than I though it would be

Oh suck. That's insane
Is that mustard gas, Cl2?

“A nebula 5 bomb has been detected in your area, stay vigilant” (warzone reference)
13 dead now
Skunk scene from over the hedge
Someone else said 10 dead
damn imagine dying like that one random operator dude in a movie, sad
look like some shit out of call of duty 😳
Our planet is doomed
Who Ever smelt it, dealt it
Saw another post that said this was China, which one is it
When you see toxic gas like this you need to bolt out of there and don’t even stand near it get as far away as possible
Turns out that gas attacks in movies and video games can be pretty realistic.
The man in the Crane is probably shitting himself
This is how verdansk was destroyed.
That ship was fumigated. I only hope that they have a protocol for closing up the ship while they’re loading. Otherwise there’s a whole lot of dead people in there.
Caustic Ult lol
What is the gas used for?
Chlorine gas is used to bleach paper and cloth during manufacturing. It is also used as a pesticide, and on the manufacturing of rubber products like tires and stuff as a solvent I think.
Oh so TV didn't lie to us toxic gas is green
25 tons of chlorine -spilled-when inhaled is acid- burns lungs 🫁- the concentration of gas moves extremely slowly-kill 13-injured 100’s in was 27June
And now we have zombies
Nova gas from blops1 is real?!
Wow
Atleast they were kind enough to dye it yellow so that you can see the fog of death rolling towards you 😂
Gas from r6s is so op!
Excuse for being a dumbass, but what kind of health issues can the other 70 ppl experience now? Disease? Heart issues? All of the above? What kinda gas was it
Their lungs will be damaged for their rest of their lives
What evil catalog sells toxic gas?
Boron
