You make some good points Searle. Stormtroopers without masks? Doctors not told key info? Many more hostages killed by gas than as first thought? The only thing I could wrest out of the various articles I looked at was one line in which a gov spokesjackboot said that the fact that the hostages were excited/under stress for so many hours before the storming the gas had a more harsh effect on them.

<<The gas affected hearts and lungs, said Andrei Seltsovsky, the chief city physician. He said he had no information when asked about reports that the compound could cause vomiting that would choke unconscious victims.

``In standard situations, the compound ... does not act as aggressively as it turned out to do,'' Seltsovsky said. ``But it was used on people who were in a specific (extreme) situation for more than 50 hours. ... All of this naturally made the situation more difficult.''>>
