More likely the Anesthetic effect of Methyl Chloride, certainly not Sulphur Dioxide.
Just had my annual Eye test which passed with Flying colours, but really I suspect it was the fact that "Flight" is out there on a limb to the right & I was concentrating on the LH column.

On the (very) rare occasion it graced the UAE it used to sit right outside my office window. I could stand on the balcony and hit it with a stone and I've got a pretty lame throw.
It was a magnificent beast, and it's smaller brothers (AN-124) were almost as formidable. I used to see them weekly.
Very sad to see its demise, but I believe they have enough spares to practically build another one. Here's hoping.
Hopefully all is not lost. The partially completed second airframe might not be in the same hangar that was destroyed...

A lot has happened since then.

So who can say? I hope it isn't the case.
Yeah bugger awesome plane for sure.
I've seen the 124's in real life but never the 225.
