Far be it for me to query 'pedia, but in the postwar stuff on Crabbe it says;Crabb moved to a civilian job and used his diving skills to explore the wreck of a Spanish galleon and he located a suitable site for a discharge pipe for the Atomic Weapons Research Establishment at Aldermaston.

" Some were locked in soundproof bedrooms fitted with gas lines that let him asphyxiate them at any time. Holmes would also lock his victims in a room where the walls were covered with iron plates and had blowtorches installed to incinerate them. One of the rooms on the second floor was called the "secret hanging chamber"; Where Holmes would take one of his victims and have them lynched. Other victims were locked in a huge soundproof bank vault near his office, where they were left to suffocate."

I also went to Toulouse just after the AZF blast and ended up staying 100km away as all the hotels were full or damaged. My travel agent had booked me into a hotel in Toulouse, Texas, the numpty.
