What was the mystery chemical gas cloud on Sussex coast?
Quote:
A gas cloud that affected hundreds of people along the East Sussex coast appears to have dissipated, police say.
Residents were being urged to keep their windows and doors closed after the unknown haze emerged, but this advice has now been withdrawn.
Holidaymakers were left with streaming eyes, sore throats and nausea - with about 150 people seeking treatment at Eastbourne District General Hospital.
Police are now trying to determine what type of gas caused the irritation, as well as the source of the "chemical haze".
It is believed that the gas had been swept in from the sea by onshore breezes - but weather models suggest that an onshore source in northern France is "very unlikely".
Public Health England is urging anyone who is still suffering the effects of irritation to irrigate their eyes and wash any other agitated areas with plenty of soap and water.

If they hopefully catch the culprits of this they will be in pretty big trouble one suspects.

That's what I'd put my money on especially as there was a witness that said there was a ship being suspicious at the time. Can't find a reference for this though it was on the midday radio news.

"(Given the weather) it is highly likely that any effect will have come from the UK side or, possibly, a vessel running close to shore with the tide bringing material towards the beach," University of Southampton National Oceanography Center's Simon Boxall said in a statement.
"It could also have come from vessels in the Dover Strait."

You need to pay a visit to the place one day my dear chap as l am sure you will be welcomed with open arms  by some  but be wary as the majority are still likely to hang you from the yardarm.
