The video indicates the fumes spread about a 2 mile radius from the leak, impacting both workers and the general public. Incredibly sad situation, the article indicates "negligence" likely caused the leak. I will try and keep this thread updated as more information comes in. Just goes to show that our jobs impact more than just our workers...

Looks like the leak has stopped, and the Indian national disaster relief has moved into the five affected villages looking for anyone stranded. "The spread of the gas depends on wind speeds. So far it is estimated that areas within a five kilometre radius have been affected."
