Abstract: At approximately 8:45 p.m. on March 22, 1998, DFW employees had opened the door to a MS carrier, route MC649, from Memphis, TN. The carrier trailer truck was loaded with five AMJ-type containers. Three pure Unit Load Devices (ULDs), a type of AMJ, had already been unloaded and tagged for outbound trucks. The off-load team was unloading two mixed ULDs for relocation to the download area when its members, drivers, D6 specialist, and other employees within the area began to feel dizzy, with a burning sensation in their throats. Employees #1 through #7 were transferred to the hospital for treatment of exposure to an unknown substance.
