I Survived the Most INFAMOUS Event in FURRY Convention History

usa

I’ll be interested to hear from your experience about the infamous gas attack that occurred in 2014. It was on the news as well plus it’s a good day to post this on Friday The 13th.

As long as you were ok, that’s what matters most!

I'm very much looking forward to this. Unfortunately for me it will be on at 5:00am AEDT.

Can reccomend the true crime podcast "Fur and Loathing" about this. When you think about it, this gas attack was the biggest chemical weapon-based terrorist attack in US history and everyone seems to laugh it off?

Ferry’s suck

Man that hella suck Ash I’m glad you’re safe

It’s sad that this incident happened but thankfully and hopefully MFF has probably put in some big installments and measurements to be sure this doesn’t happen again, thankfully no one was killed but definitely would’ve put me on edge if I was there.

Great vid Ask i enjoyed and loved it hope everyone got out of there safely

The fact that News agencies laughed at the situation is disgusting. Chlorine gas is an extremely hazardous and potentially fatal weapon. This should be considered a terrorist attack, since it's wanton violence inflicted on civilians. Though I guess that it would only be taken that seriously, if it affected a group that the media likes.

The hypocrisy is repulsive. The broadcasters should be ashamed of their behavior.

I can't believe the suspect was never caught that did that mean thing that they did, I don't why people of United States has to have a problem with furrys, they are just people like everyone else

First off, I’m so glad you’re okay! Second, sorry to be a downer, but I find it so annoying that moments like this have to be a thing in our fandom. If only people could just leave us alone and respect what we’re into, but instead we end up with moments like this that we have to deal with as a fandom, also stuff like those insensitive newscasters on tv who laughed about the event as if there’s anything funny about it. Ridiculous

I'm glad you and Chip were okay in this rather serious incident. Yeah, I'll never forget when Joe & Mika on "Morning Joe" were laughing uncontrollably as several furries were hospitalized. I understand about the responses to fire alarms at hotels. I've been to furry and non-furry conventions where the fog machine has been the culprit for setting off the alarms.

My system updated

I do find the news reporters extra infuriating. I just dont think its good to joke about a gas attack as its going on

When you were telling this story I was picturing like a frozen wasteland, but then I looked up the winter temps in Chicago and was underwhelmed. I mean, it would still suck to be out in that of course, especially underdressed in the night, but dang people really exaggerate how cold Chicago is

The sad part is, some people laughed during this event. The fucking media who was reporting, laughed😢

Scar The Fur is planning a video that covers the Police and Fire Dept reports

There isa podcast called "Fur and Loathing" which does go into the failings of the police and some of the possible suspects of it.Even interviewing them.

Tiny little fan here! love ya Ash!

i heard about this, im glad you're ok

Thankfully I was visiting a nearby hotel with a Wild Dog at the time. It was all clear by the time I got back.

That's scary ash i remember hearing about this 10 years ago. I'm glad you're ok.

My god, is this furry drama tasty!!
why can't people just let people be! to be honest, if you want to dress as an animal and have fun doing it, who am i to judge
hell, most fun iv had drinking are with suiters

Some people says it was a failed attempt to make a d**g but im convinced it was an antifur I mean how can you do m*****d gas by failing at mixing some no legal substances but you were there so im curious to know your point of view About that

Wow. This mustve been terrifying for everyone. Heard about it and am amazed that the police haven't caught the perp already.

i went to a furry con (WENT WRONG) (ALMOST DIED)

OMG!
i heard about it, but this is insane!

My friend was at MFF 2014, I remember he called me and told me everything. I couldn't believe it at first, I honestly thought I misheard him. So scary. Glad no one was seriously hurt.

it was 2 drunk guys who stole chorine tablets from the pool and poured vodka on them.
They came forward and admitted it was their fault!

If you can, ask the security who were on staff at that con! they have much more information!

I'm just glad you are okay, as other comments have stated. I went to MFF from 2010 to 2013, and wanted to go in 2014 especially because it would have been happening over my 18th birthday but kept forgetting to make the plans til it was too late 🫣 And, well... you know.
Bullet dodged and all.

Thinking back, of the 22 cons I've physically attended in the past 15 years, I only recall hearing the fire alarm once (2 cons ago). I'd never considered it was a common occurrence outside the 4 groups/6 event spaces… (elevator issues on the other claw…)

I feel bad for yall had to go through that that's on the level of a terr- orist attack and them buzzards of a news anchors made fun of yall that's not okay man them condors of a news anchors should be ashamed of themselves for that

What night did this happen!? I was at mff though I stayed at a different hotel. In fact, i think i saw you there in partial fursuit. Should have said something and asked if it was ok to get a pic with you.😅 though you were moving fast so all i did was wave, then you were gone from the convention center lobby.

Furries strong together

CHLORINE GAS!? ARE THESE GUYS INSANE!? WHAT THE FUCK DUDE! WHAT SICK FUCK RELEASED CHLORINE GAS IN A HIGHLY POPULATED ARE!? DO THEY EVEN KNOW HOW BAD CHLORINE GAS IS!?

I'm glad you were okay: but that was a factually stupid decision to ignore the fire alarm 😢

So tiny room wasn’t the tardis then?
