Anhydrous Ammonia (NH3) Spill

Anhydrous ammonia (NH3) is widely used in industries, but its dangers demand respect. Here’s what you need to know:

Health Risks:

Ammonia is highly corrosive. Inhalation can cause severe respiratory discomfort, while contact can result in skin burns and even blindness.

Fire and Explosion Risks:

Although ammonia is generally not flammable, in high concentrations and specific conditions, it poses explosion risks due to the release of hydrogen gas at high temperatures.

Accidental Releases:

Leaks often result from overpressure, spills, or equipment failures, creating toxic plumes heavier than air, posing significant offsite risks.

These incidents can impact not only personnel but also nearby communities, as seen in the 2007 Seward video.

On March 5th, 1959, 69 African American boys, ages 13 to 17, were padlocked in their dormitory for the night at the Negro Boys Industrial School in Wrightsville. Around 4 a.m., a fire mysteriously ignited, forcing the boys to fight and claw their way out of the burning building.

The old, run-down, & low-funded facility, just 15 minutes south of Little Rock, housed 69 teens from ages 13-17. Most were either homeless or incarcerated for petty crimes such as doing pranks. 48 boys managed to escape the fire.

The doors were locked from the outside and fire mysteriously ignited on a cold, wet morning, following earlier thunderstorms in the same area of rural Pulaski County.

The horrific event brought attention to the deplorable conditions in which the boys lived. The boys all slept in a space barely big enough for them to move around & theyre one foot apart from one another & their bathroom was a bucket at the corner where they had to defecate in.

In an ironic twist, the land in which the school stood is now the Arkansas Department of Correction Facility Wrightsville Unit. In 2019 a plaque was finally placed after 60 years.

1955 Sports Illustrated Marble Guide
Genuine Carnelians (agates)
also called flints, aggies and realies were original handmade shooters. Now collector's items, they are still the most treasured of all marbles.

Peppermint Stripes
were among first glass marbles imported from Germany but high prices limited popularity. This candy stripe variety was semi-mechanically made.

First American
glass marbles were poor imitations of imported candy stripes. Far more popular in the 1850s were cheap, fired-clay marbles (right) called miggles and commeys.

Cat’s Eyes
made from used crystal (old bottles, etc.) were first cheap glass marbles made. Colored whirl design injected mechanically into center was not favored by mibsters.

Immies
were popular replacement of hard-to-get agate shooters. Mass produced by machine, their bright opaque colors immediately caught the fancy of finicky marble players.

Rainbows
also called immies, were introduced in 1928 by Peltier Glass Co. and became hot marble currency and are still favorites. Kids like their separated-stripe design.

Marines
made of colored crystal, were a passing fad, being replaced in popularity by moonstones (below). New and booming market for them today is as decorations for aquariums.

Moonstones
(moonies and pureys), developed by rival firm to offset popularity of Rainbows, were most beautiful and costly marbles and included the famous bloody.

Scrap Glass
marbles made from old colored jars flooded market during World War I and marked the end of beautiful marbles. Marbles of today (right) are of poorer quality.

Japanese Cat’s Eyes
now being imported in millions, are threat to U.S. marble industry. Different and more colorful than today's U.S. marbles, they are a big hit with kids.
