Trees at the scene wilted
The pipeline suddenly broke at around 9 am while the employees were extracting ammonia at a facility on An Phu Tay Street, Binh Chanh District. Many people had breathing difficulty and nausea as the gas covered the area.
"Two employees ran out and asked me to spray water onto their bodies. Blood poured out when I sprayed water into their mouths," a local said.
Lieutenant Colonel Pham Trung Thang, deputy head of the fire department in Binh Chanh District said they sent 35 officials and four fire trucks and one truck to deal with the ammonia to the scene.
