| Whenever chlorine gas is attacking people, whether it is deliberate or incidental: Yes, I want panic. |

| Facilities I worked in that had chlorine gas had audible alarms if leaks are detected because everyone could die. |

| So what if people panic? People panicking because of an alarm is better than being poisoned... |

| They literally had to call the fire department and send 4 people to the hospital. That is what causes panic. |

| How do you feel about fire alarms? |

| ▲ | RetroTechie an hour ago | parent | next [-] | | Most o/t time they're just annoying. But if I'm in a building & hear one, I will ALWAYS check where it comes from, and whether further action (like evacuation) is needed. It's easy & the 1 time you don't, can cost liveS. | |

| ▲ | fc417fc802 2 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | People just panic and do ridiculous things like evacuating the apartment building at 2 am in their pajamas in the rain, blocking the road. Meanwhile 9 times out of 10 it's a false alarm. We should instead email the fire department while the residents keep sleeping. /s | | |
| ▲ | asgraham an hour ago | parent | next [-] | | You’re being sarcastic but that’s a weirdly popular view. I called 911 once because of two CO monitors going off in my top floor apartment of a mid-rise. Half a dozen engines responded including hazmat, everyone’s standing around outside the building. FD had to break down the door of someone who wasn’t home because there was no response. Somehow it got around that I had been the one to call me in. Some guy came up to me saying something like “some of us have jobs in the morning. I hope you’re happy, moron.” FD found a leak in the basement furnace. Without the alarms, everyone in the building would’ve been dead by morning. | |

| So it's better to have deaths rather than panic? |

| Panic seems like exactly what you want in this situation. |
