Cargo of justice?...

[nerdgineer]

Interesting story about a recently hijacked Iranian ship carrying "minerals" for cargo. The hijackers started getting sick (hair falling out...) and dying.

Sounds like radiation sickness to me, unlikely and worrisome as that seems, but also funny in a way...:green:

Hair loss and burns from sealed containers sound like radiation sickness.

It sounds like exposure to chemical agents.

Either the title or link is wrong though....:huh:

Re: Interesting not-quite a gun...

chemical no doubt...

if your cargoholds stuffed with gas cylinders, any small leak in any one of the cylinders could potentially fill the airspace up, some nerve agents are odorless and colorless and one does not have to be in a high concentration area to be killed by it...not unless you have been exposed to it for quite sometime...which apparently this might just be the case

Nerve agents don't make you lose hair.

"Iron Ore" and "Minerals" sounds like radioactive material to me, but there's lots of toxic things out there.
