I've practiced using the Level One? or Class A Hazmat suit that forces you to use your air bottle. (no supply hose) and just being in that suit is frightening enough, knowing you only have 15-30 minutes of air, let alone knowing that when your air runs out, you can't open the suit until they have de-conned you. Even in practice, they wouldn't let us have a knife for fear we would freak out and cut open the incredibly expensive out fit.........

As a teen I worked in swimming pools. There was a chlorine leak in the boiler room and I opened the door and walked in......WOW.
When I heard that Assad in Syria had used chemical bombs, possibly Chlorine, supplied by Putin on his own people and wiped out entire towns, I really felt for those people.....
