[edit] Vietnamese name
What is the Vietnamese name of this event? Badagnani (talk) 20:14, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Any further identification of the chemical agent?
I'm quite familiar with chemical warfare, and the descriptions in the article don't make a lot of sense. Mustard gas (dichloroethyl sulfide) is a blister agent, but, unless the concentration is immediately lethal, tends to cause burns that are not immediately evident. French WWI tear gas, AFAIK, was methyl bromide.
The only chemical weapons coming to mind that might be activated would be binary nerve agents, which are lethal but don't cause burns. Further, neither of the solutions that are mixed are especially corrosive. Howard C. Berkowitz (talk) 02:58, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
