“Hundreds of gas masks daily are going out the door,” he said Thursday. “It’s pretty crazy. It reminds me of the frenzy after 9-11.”
People in California are ordering gas masks and related gear, including chemical suits, jackets, gloves, pants and boots, Spizuoco said. » | Nok-Noi Ricker, BDN Staff | Posted: Thursday, March 17, 2011; Friday, March 18, 2011
