Intoxicated scientist loses deadly poison
9th September, 2006 by manda
An employee of Shimonoseki Mitsui Chemicals in Yamaguchi, had 3 bottles of liquefied hydrogen fluoride on his person for research purposes. However, en route to his house he went out drinking, and discovered when he made it home that the deadly substance was missing. He immediately reported the incident to the police. The missing liquid is used to clean semi-conductors and would probably be fatal if consumed. 50 officers have been searching for the chemical, and as it is extremely dangerous, they’ve to be notified immediately if found. If anything, it’s the last time I get upset losing a handbag after a night on the town!
