3 dead in possible gas poisoning near Fukushima hot spring resort

Dangers of too much snow and cold can play out in many ways, including hot springs/onsens unfortunately, nothing to do with Fukushima, could happen anywhere.

Toxic gases are a feature of hot springs and volcanoes worldwide. It is easy to forget, until something like this happens.

There was a "limnic eruption" of CO2 at Lake Nyos, Cameroon, in 1986 that killed thousands of people around the lake. Volcanic activity is responsible for both hydrogen sulfide emissions and CO2 eruptions, both of which can be toxic.

Horrible

just like the movies Dante’s Peak
