"The nurse, they were all telling us, like, ‘Oh, if you had fallen back to sleep,’ which I totally was going to just go back to sleep, because when I was sleeping I felt better. They said if we went back to sleep, we probably would’ve died in our sleep."

From "UW System conducting facilities review after gas leak sent 17 students to hospital" (Madison.com).

Wake up and smell the cheese.

Don't people feel that way when they're freezing to death?

Which is especially relevant since we'll probably be running out of natural gas anyway very shortly.

Why is UW intentionally trying to gas students to death?
What race and nationality were these victims? Was at least One of them a person of color?
I Call RACISM!!!!

That could have been much worse. My alma mater, the University of Nevada, had a gas leak a few years ago that blew up two dorms. Fortunately it happened over the summer break when they were closed for renovation.

But, yours was a Real gas leak... It sounds like this UW 'gas leak' was exhaust gases; thus the Carbon Monoxide.. Real gas is about a Zillion times more dangerous; but it smells, so it only happens at times like summer break
