All three industries in the town were hit by several >projectiles. The explosion turned night into the day ,strange, spooky, >red-light day. While it was happening I had to turn down the computer, >which takes some time, damn it. >( Later I heard from a friend who said that some people were having a kid's >birthday party at the basement in the center of the town, the music was >loud, and they were all (kid's parents and friends) drunk already, but when >they saw that there was a blast that lightened the basement window and the >whole street fairly far away from the Industrial Zone, they were quite >shaken...). >I phoned to our friend Nandor ( the editor of Kulturbunt fanzine, >remember?), and he was ready to sit in the car and leave the town, with his >mother, wife and two kids. Nandor's sister-in-law gave a birth to a baby >boy three days ago, here in Pancevo... >Anyway, soon we were able to see people in cars, or riding bikes and >motorcycles and going out of the neighboring industrial area... >The biggest problem of all is, of course, the Petrochemical industry - they >are producing plastic materies, used in the production of plastic bags, >hoses etc.(nothing to do with the military equipment or something. Except >for the fact that ANYTHING could be used in a military, one way or another. >They will probably use this logic as an excuse to bomb EVERYTHING, and >still call it "selective" ). Anyway, the regular production of >Petrochemical industry requires use of the toxical materies such as gas >called vinyl-chloride-monomer (I'm not sure if this is correct in English). >It does not have a color or smell, and when freed - in smaller quantities >it makes you laugh hysterically, and in bigger quantities - it is a deadly >poison... >Anyway, after the first bombing, they were trying to empty their tanks (or >what is it called) with that VCM gas, and it has to be done , as far as I >understand , by BURNING the remaining quantities, which takes some >time...It seems that during the last night bombing STILL some quantities of >VCM were in the tanks which were hit by the NATO projectiles... The firemen >went to pull out the fire in all of the plants except Petrochemical ones, >as it seems that it's safer if the gas is left to burn in the fire. The >wind was blowing in the direction of the river Danube, and again the people >from the town were lucky...Until the early morning, at about 3AM, when the >wind changed direction, and pulled the smoke into the direction of the >center of the town. At that point firemen were headed to Petrochemical >plants.... >Gordana and I decided to stay at home and watch the development of the >situation. After some time we went to bed, with radio on. I had a strangely >vivid dreams, for the first time since the strikes began. Not very >interesting dreams, though, mostly just nonsense. Gordana and I were siting >in a bar with friends, and the members of The Rolling Stones were there as >well. I was never a huge fan of the group (except for the earliest >material) , but I tryed to sound friendly, and so were they. >When we woke up, one part of the town was covered with white mist. The >other part was covered with dark grey, black cloud coming from the Oil >Refinery, which is still burning.The black cloud was up above the ground >level, heading its way to the place where my parents live...They don't have >a phone in their house, so I will have to go and visit them later today.... >The mayor of Pancevo appeared on Tv and said that the situation is not >alarming at the moment, but still is far from normal. He called people not >to leave their houses and to follow the news. He also said that this was an >obvuious attempt of killing the town...He also mentioned that during the >beginning of the raids there were a regular trains with the cargo >containing toxic materies , travelling from Romania to Turkey, and it was >again a mere coincidence that a huge catastrophy was not produced... >They said on the radio that 4 firemen were taken to hospital, because of >the smoke poisoning. Also, some of the workers from the industrial zone >were injured. >Bye now >Sasa DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.
