A still unexplained chemical caused an ominous toxic cloud at an aluminum plant on Alloy Ct. near Sheppard Ave and Highway 400 at mid-morning Wednesday. Listen to Jennifer Di Francesco and a young friend (below) react to the sight of this nasty business. “Whatever it is, it can’t be good.” Fortunately, there are no casualties reported. The incident occurred at a subsidiary plant of the Norwegian-owned firm, Norsk Hydro, an aluminum extrusion operation located at 7 Alloy Court, North York.
