gases travel faster than liquids
Explanation:
basically it all comes down to molecules and the structure of elements gases are held together by weaker forces thus only require minimal excitation to transmit but liquids have stronger bonds , with this in mind we clearly see why it is more prudent to rescue those affected by the gas sooner.
