Tokyo subway sarin attack

[Jim Eshelman]

On March 20, 1995, between 7:00 AM and 8:10 AM in Tokyo, sarin gas was released in the subway at three separate locations by the Aum Shinrikyo cult, killing 12 people and injuring nearly 5,000 others. At the time (and until 2001) it was Japan's deadliest event since WW II.

The event begins strongly enough - especially Neptune-driven for a toxic gas attack - and then it pretty much fizzles. It does have the simple answer of Saturn (plus Mercury for the subway) on a CapQ angle for the day, though.

As an aside, the Cansolar had a Mars-Saturn square on the angles.

Checking to see if the Arisolar or Libsolar would help us any. Generally we wouldn't consult them for daily timing, especially since there was a CapQ angle hit. We do get a touch of help.

The above attack was the second Aum Shinrikyo sarin attack. The earlier one, nine months earlier, killed eight people and injured more than 500 others. Saturn rose as the gas was unleashed on a day with a Mars-Pluto conjunction.

All for solar ingresses are dormant. The CanQ had a fine enough Bridge, but the AriQ had a big surprise!

()The clear high score is because this was a religion-fueled attack.
