In 2014, a chlorine gas leak occurred in the Hyatt Regency when this con took place, resulting in 19 hospitalizations. I have not found any article sources about this incident, but is it noteworthy to include in this article?

Not sure I follow you, but it took me less than two minutes to locate multiple news sources covering the incident. [1][2][3][4][5] mwalimu59 (talk) 16:29, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hate to burst your bubbles, but it wasn't a gas leak, the chlorine was released in the Western Tower from a glass canister. All the articles refer to it as a criminal act, and discussion with Rosemont police that were present that day will, without sparing details, verify it was a criminal act. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.30.7.218 (talk) 05:13, 26 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
