🧵 I discovered something very weird last night. Apple had a bunch of chemical spills/leaks at 3250 Scott (you'll hear more about this soon!) & city HazMat helped keep it quiet, but in 2020 a Cal gov official requested a copy of a 2019 incident report for phosphine & silane leaks…
In 2019, Apple said they were purging their phosphine & silane lines, but failed to put the system "in test" first, which resulted in a toxic gas alarm. Apple said it was a "normal process for them." HazMat said ok & redacted Apple's name. It seemed odd but no venting that time.
This is where it gets bizarre. Remember: Apple still had not registered this facility for semiconductor fab & it was a skunkworks R&D building only city HazMat knew about. So why is a California Energy Commission leader filing a city Public Records Request for this exact report?
