Fuck that. I've smelled a space subjected to a few oz. of aerosolized ammonia and it was hard enough then to breathe.

Could someone hide in their bathtub? with the shower on under blankets to keep the Ammonia off of them? Soak towels and blanks and try to plug the doors and windows in a small room?

Like wtf can someone do in this situation to avoid death? Looks absolutely terrifying.
