The leak happened at about 4 a.m. Neighbors reported smelling the chemical's odor, but the company said it diffused in the air and did not pose a risk. Emergency responders monitored the air and concluded that a shelter-in-place order was not necessary. There was a 5th person exposed but he is expected to make a full recovery.he leaked chemical, methyl mercaptan, is used in insecticides and fungicides, as well as to odorize natural gas for safety purposes.
Do you think this could of been prevented?

Your summary could have been better as well as your question.
Yes, because they had concern and warnings in plain view, but they did not listen. If had they listened there possibly be no deaths.
It could have been prevented by listening to the neighbors concern and gotten people out too look for a leak.
I agree the company could of done better with listening to the area residents.

Yes I think they should have went straight to the hospital and tested.
