I'd wait for a few more details before comparing this to that...

Hopefully something accidental rather than malicious!

 

[bi0boy]

Ok so police say "not a terrorist incident" and "toxin" is now "smell".

Tokyo was an odd one, that was a cult leader trying to distract from a tax investigation into his affairs

Apparently, it's a gas leak. Trying to find a source confirming it. The daily fail have reported it as a gas leak but I'm not linking to them!

Yes. I know you would. Your caution is legendary.

The Express are reporting it as a gas leak. They also mentiton a substance which was found at the airport the day before, it doesn't say that they are linked. Hamburg airport EVACUATED as passengers suffer breathing problems after chemical incident

Probably R-410A gas out of the A/C units working overtime due to the cold weather, though no chlorine in it, it can be an irritant.

Not really. Aum Shinrikyo tried several dry runs before the Tokyo attack...

a form of them are still allowed to exist I believe, a splinter or succesor group. No doubt under the beadiest of beady state eyes

Because there are no seismologists, apparently.

Yeah, not sure how they managed that one. I imagine they're somewhat toothless, in comparison to their predecessors.

I believe the seismograph readings are what led to the theory a small nuke went off in the outback. Big country though, Australia.
