Restaurant Employee Accidentally Makes Chemical Weapon

When a restaurant manager was cleaning up a spill, he accidentally made a crucial mistake that would cost him his life. So, what happened? Why did he get poisoned, and why was there a Haz-Mat incident because of a simple spill? Let’s get into it!

I work in a lab but have many friends who work in commercial kitchens. In both situations, there are two sayings that will save your life:
1. If you cough, it's time to step off: Evacuate immediately and call a professional if you start coughing, wheezing, or having difficulties breathing because there's lots of ways to accidentally make a toxic gas when mixing things, even foods like spicy peppers.
2. Hot glass looks just like cold glass: Assume all containers are hot unless you literally just removed them from a cooler.

I had a supervisor long ago claim that mixing those chemicals meant they were a “super cleaner” and that the coughing was a sign that it was cleaning us out from the inside too. I turned on the fume hood on the stove and called the fire department. I was told I was being disciplined for insubordination, so I quit and filed a health inspector report the day of. I have no regrets.

Rest in peace, Ryan. Despite the fact that he was dying from the inside, he still did his best to save everyone else. He really was selfless.

My grandmother did this while cleaning her toilet and because the room was so small with a tiny window and the door shut she passed out and smashed her head against the toilet bowl. My Grandfather got her help quickly but when I see these stupid 'influencers' mixing all kinds of cleaning stuff together I want to scream wtf are you As shown in your video it is deadly!

Something remarkably similar to this is why my high school no longer allows students full access to the chemistry classroom storage locker, as a student decided to mix stuff together to make rocket fuel whilst the class was doing fragrances, and was a few reagents away from making red fuming nitric acid.

It actually had started reacting and ultimately they needed to chuck out most of the glassware and especially the table and chair and redo the floor under the table as it started corroding them

In high school we were doing a science experiment that showed reactions between solutions. Our teacher specifically told us not to combine the two particular chemicals because it would make mustard gas. The class clown did it anyway and we had to evacuate that part of the school. Fortunately the class room was built to contain dangerous gases in an emergency. The reaction was almost instant and I remember starting to feel my throat and eyes burn. I was smart enough to hold my breath and get out of there. No one really got hurt with the exception of the class clown. He ended up in the hospital for a night or two. Afterwards his family tried to sue the school, but our entire class came forward and said he was doing it to be funny and the case was thrown out. He was expelled, he ended up breaking a leg at another school because of similar antics.

It happened to me, one day i was at my workshop on a Saturdat and a neighbour asked me for help cleaning his workshop, guy was always nice so i accepted. I remember i was cleaning one side of the workshop when i felt a strange smell of rotten eggs, followed by a burning sensation in my esophagus... turns out the man was in the other side of the workshop mixing in the floor acid cleaner with bleach, i knew straight away that we had to evacuate and let the fumes evaporate... little was i aware how close i was that day from death... man was apologizing saying to me he didnt knew this couldnt be mixed... we were both very very lucky that day...

Years ago I worked nights stocking shelves at a grocery store where the manager decided it would be a great idea to locate the bleach in a shelf directly above the ammonia. When I tried explaining that an accident might lead to breakage, which in turn would lead to the creation of potentially deadly chloramine gas he looked at me as though I was crazy, saying that dangerous substances like that can't possibly form "from simple supermarket cleaning products, " and thus he saw no need to rearrange the shelves. Needless to say, about a year and a half after I quit there the "accident" happened and a bunch of customers and employees had to be rushed to the hospital and a hazmat team had to come out to clean up. Thankfully no horrible effects, but still... Ignorance can be deadly!

Oh my God, his poor wife and child. That's heartbreaking.

I worked at a wing restaurant in the early 2000s. Standard procedure to clean the sauce residue from the wing buckets was to use an ammonia based sanatizer mixed with bleach. I reported this idiocy to OSHA, but nothing ever came of it.

"hells kitchen" was too literal

I hate it when i accidentally make a chemical weapon in my kitchen

I helped a lady get bleach once in college. She complained her roommates kept taking it from her. Turns out there was a reason--she was so OCD about cleaning that no warnings could get through to her, and she would inevitably mix _all_ the chemicals. Her entire wing got pink-eye and I was furious at her because I felt like she'd made it my fault. But I didn't chew her out because I wasn't sure she could really help it. Suffice to say, I never bought bleach for anyone again.

I also learned this the hard way. I mixed muriatic acid, bleach, and detergent. Thank goodness we have so much windows but definitely affected my lungs and throat.

I accidentally mixed ammonia & bleach one time. I was 18. After that, I banished ammonia from my home just to make sure that it never happened again.

I had a friend years ago who mixed ammonia & bleach while cleaning her bathroom. Luckily, she had the fans on and the bathroom door open. After mixing them, she realized almost immediately what she had done and booked it out of her apartment. Even that short of exposure time left her throat and eyes irritated for days.

The most dangerous chemical I work with in the kitchen is usually onions!

I don’t work at a restaurant. I’m talking about the kitchen at home.
