Once they were in the chamber,
how long did it take? A minute?

:14:12
No, the Prussic acid
took about 15 minutes.

:14:17
But the monoxide could take
an hour, sometimes more.

:14:23
What happened to them ... exactly?
:14:31
It was a mess. They would
lose control of their bodies.

:14:36
They vomited, urinated
and defecated themselves.

:14:41
Even though the gas
came through vents in the ceiling, -

:14:45
- they climbed up on each other, -
:14:48
- desperately reaching for fresh air
that wasn't there.

:14:53
- There was a mountain of bodies.
- What about the children?

:15:01
On the bottom.
:15:06
Did anyone ever survive it?
:15:14
One time, the gas didn't work.
:15:21
There was a leak in the pipes,
so oxygen mixed with the monoxide.

:15:28
It was horrible. After an hour,
they were still moving.

:15:34
Stumbling around the room
like drunks, their eyes glassy.

:15:41
What did you do?
:15:43
I ordered more gas,
but we didn't know about the leak.

:15:48
Soon they began to twitch all over,
like they were dancing.

:15:53
Some fell to their knees,
laughing in a high-pitched scream.
