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 Ók líklega á yfir 120 rétt fyrir slysið Erlent Öllu flugi til og frá næststærstu borg Frakklands aflýst Erlent „Kannski var þetta prakkarastrik“ Innlent Segir stjórnina ekki standa við stóru orðin í orkumálum Innlent Aðeins eitt mál enn óleyst í vopnahlésviðræðum Erlent „Íslandsmet í óvandaðri lagasetningu“ Innlent „Við ætlum að upplifa stóra drauminn hans Kristians Helga” Innlent Keyptu ónýtt hús og fá ekki áheyrn Innlent Gufunesmálið: Hringdu um miðja nótt og sögðu hinn látna vera kynferðisafbrotamann Innlent Skýrt að fleiri hafi brotið af sér í máli fötluðu konunnar Innlent
