Sarin, which is a chemical liquid was released on up to seven lines of the stations injuring and killing civilians. It’s said that there was up to five packages with the gas inside.

TCDD concentration of 67 pg/g. Nerve conduction studies, with the help of a neuromatic 2000 dantec machine that measures motor and sensory fibers of the median, ulnar, tibial, and sural nerves, were shown to be abnormal in 3 of those 9 subjects. Those with abnormal nerve conduction test results had a mean TCDD plasma level of 263 pg/g and those that were normal had a TCDD level of 95 pg/g. In addition to these tests, it was also observed that “all subjects with polyneuropathy presented chloracne…

After reading the transcript to the “Japanese Sarin Cult,” it is easy to see what an inherent threat Aum Shinrikyo was to Japan, and potentially to the United States. The overall evidence that is provided fully explains why this terrorist organization was in fact a threat to the Japanese people. Not only were numerous test drafts conducted, but there was an overwhelming amount of intelligence suggesting Asahara and his Aum were a threat to the Japanese people (Wright, 2008). Asahara and his Aum…

I was in the Dallas area as an exchange student. I was watching a tv in a coffee shop, and the unthinkable happened. For weeks before the incident happened, tensions between the Japanese government and the Chinese based conglomerate, Black Canyon Research, had been escalating rapidly. They had an experimental research facility in Osaka, Japan. They were testing an experimental gas for warfare that was supposedly 25 times more powerful than VX nerve gas, and 200 times more powerful than Sarin…

people for political purposes” (White, 2014, p. 4). Since the sarin attack on the Japanese subway in 1995, governments are taking measures to prevent and respond to terroristic attacks utilizing chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear weapons (CBRN). Robyn Pangi identifies that chemical attacks, such as the one committed by the Aum Shinrikyo (Aum) in Japan, are different from conventional terroristic attacks because the effects of the attack can be reduced due to interventions made both…

during and after WWII, civilian casualties due to accidental spills of chemical and biological weapons meant for the battlefield was sadly common. Dumping biological and chemical weapons in the sea or burying them is not safe at all, for the flimsy containers eroded quickly and the toxic substances then can leak out. Hundreds of Danish fishermen have pulled up fishing nets poisoned by mustard gas, and some died while others had to be hospitalized immediately. Although terrorism was not unknown…

another daily commute, turned out to be a day that would change their lives forever. No one had anticipated Sarin gas being on those trains. Who had committed such a despicable act?

While Aum Shinrikyo also attempted attacks with botulin toxin and anthrax spores, they have an extensive history with the use of sarin gas. Aum Shinrikyo facilities were raided by law enforcement where high-end chemical producing equipment was…
