Been going on for over an hour. A factory that makes nitrous oxide tanks. Unreal.

1. "makes nitrous oxide tanks" means makes tanks, or fills existing tanks, or what?

3. ONE DEAD- ONE HOSPITALIZED.

That company apparently made "VAPE PENS", which include butane, and nitrous oxide.

No wonder kids like to VAPE. It's got Nitrious Oxide inside.

4. They weren't supposed to have these gas cannisters on site

They had hundreds of these 20 pound tanks and they weren't licensed to store them at this facility.

The notrous was for making flavored Whip-Its, which are small cartridges restaurants use to aerate whipped cream. But kids have been huffing Whip-Its for decades to get high. Been around since the 80s. Flavoring them is not a part of cooking, it's done to make them more appealing to children and it should be illegal. Flavored vaping should also be illegal. We're literally allowing people to market dangerous drugs to school children by making them taste like their favorite candy.
