According to an Associated Press
report from Monday, December 8th, “Chlorine gas sickened several
people and forced the evacuation of thousands of guests from a suburban Chicago
hotel early Sunday, including many dressed in cartoonish animal costumes for an
annual furries convention who were ushered across the street to a convention
center hosting a dog show.”
So, one convention center was
hosting a ‘furries’ convention and another across the street was simultaneously
hosting a dog show. Then the ‘furries’ were put in the same convention center
as the ‘doggies’. What are the odds? What are the odds that there may have been
some confusion there? Reactions likely were priceless. Film at 11.
According to reports the source of
the gas was likely chlorine powder deliberately left in a ninth-floor stairwell
at the hotel. Investigators are therefore treating it as a criminal matter- as
well they should.
Within hours, emergency workers
decontaminated the Hyatt Regency O’Hare and allowed people- and furries- back
inside. (I bet they were furrious!). “Six-foot-tall rabbits, foxes and dragons
poured into the lobby,” according to the article. “’I think we’ll recover from
this’, said Kit McCreedy, of Madison, Wis., his foxtail swinging behind him as
he headed back inside for the last day of the Midwest FurFest.” ‘Kit?’. Really? A fox?
The poor hotel staff. I bet the
place was a zoo.
