Gas Scare in Eskifjörður 28. júní 2006 10:05 Sjúkraflug frá Eskifirði vegna eitrunnar sem kom upp þar. Tekið 27,06,06, 34 people had to be rushed to the hospital in Eskifjörður due to hydrogen chlorine gas that was the result of a acetic acid being mixed with the chloride in the swimming pool in Eskifjörður. This resulted in drop of the acid level in the pool and the HCI gas that came resulted in a chemical compound with the water which is life threating. The mistake was fortunately discovered by workers in the vicinity. The reaction of local officals was efficient and a chopper and airplane with medical staff aboard left from Reykjavík to assist in the rescue effort. Four people were taken to the hospital in Reykjavik but their condition is stable. The cause of the accident is said to be an error in shipment. Acetic acid was delivered to the swimming pool instead of chlorine. mld News News in English Mest lesið Þetta er fólkið á bak við Skjöld Íslands Innlent Móðir og níu mánaða barn hætt komnar í Þrengslunum Innlent Hótað og ógnað eftir að hafa aðstoðað lögreglu Innlent Ozzy Osbourne allur Erlent Alvarlega slösuð bankakona lagði VÍS eftir langa og stranga baráttu Innlent Hitinn víða yfir 50 stig og vatnsforðinn að þorna upp Erlent Hefði sagt nei: Sumarfrí bæjarfulltrúa opnaði fyrir endurskipulag á Nónhæð Innlent Brú skóf þakið af tveggja hæða rútu Erlent Reyndu að koma í veg fyrir að hún settist upp í hjá afrískum bílstjóra Innlent Lögreglan hugsi yfir Skildi Íslands: Eitt lögbrot verði ekki réttlætt með öðru Innlent
