Fascinating Horror

The Cleveland Clinic X-Ray Incident (2021x32)

:

On the 15th of May, 1929, hundreds of doctors, nurses and patients were going about their business inside the outpatient building of the Cleveland Clinic – a modern and in some ways revolutionary healthcare centre in Cleveland, Ohio. At around 11:30am the upper floors of the clinic were suddenly flooded with a thick, yellowish-brown gas. Those who inhaled it were dead within moments, never knowing or understanding exactly what had killed them.
