A 25-Ton ISO Container of Chlorine (Cl2) (like the image to the left) was being lifted off a truck and onto a ship when somehow the container was dropped (too early to know the cause). 

The video shows the power of a Liquified Pressurized Gas (Cl2 BP = -29F). 

At this posting, there are 10 deceased workers with another 200-250 requiring medical care.
