Appalled at some business people

THE EDITOR: I am appalled at the attitude of some of the business people who were affected by the gas exposure that affected downtown Port-of-Spain last Friday.

Sewer gas, methane gas and gas in most forms are dangerous, explosive and toxic. Would they have preferred an explosion with disastrous proportions to shoppers, workers and the school children’s detriment. At the end of it all they would blame “Abu”. And, I must compliment the Assistant Deputy Chief Fire Officer who was responsible for seeing that the area was safe before giving the “Go ahead” to open up the area for normal activities.
