This morning four chlorine tanks being carried to a water
treatment facility were attacked with explosives outside of an elementary school
in Palo Alto, CA. The truck was stopped at a stop sign when the driver was shot
in the head and the devices were placed on the tanks. Children were at recess
when the explosives were detonated and the ten students closest to the truck
were quickly overcome with chlorine fumes. Over two hundred other students have
been transported to local hospitals for treatment.
Willie C. Shealey of Avondale Trucking announced that it was
their driver, Christopher Seeling, that was killed in the attack. Shealey noted
that: “This was the first time that Chris has delivered to this facility, but
we do not know why he was anywhere near that school. Our routes are planned out
in advance to avoid things of this sort and the trucks are tracked by GPS. We
are still investigating the incident.”
The Federal Bureau of Inquiry’s spokesman, Johnathan Quest,
has confirmed that the eco-terrorist group Students for Immediate
Neutralization of Chlorine Technology and Energy Reversion (SFINCTER) has
claimed responsibility for the attack.
According to a communique received by local news
organizations at about the same time as the attack SFINCTER announced: “For too
long it was only people of color who have been affected by chemical accidents.
We have delivered the chemical threat to the entitled. No one is safe.”
Quest reported that the investigation is in the early
stages. The FBI and other agencies of the Federal Government are working closely
with local law enforcement to determine what happened.
Local hospitals are reporting problems treating all of the
injured. There is a shortage of ventilators to treat the breathing problems in
the affected children. That coupled with the lack of medical personnel trained for,
or with experience in treating chlorine exposure patients.
We will not be publishing the names of the dead or injured students out of respect for the families.
