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 Fólk hafi dreymt um að eignast flugstjóradress Innlent Meirihluti fólks geti ekki keypt íbúð í nýju lánakerfi sem sé að teiknast upp Innlent Hækkar tolla á kanadískar vörur vegna sjónvarpsauglýsingar Erlent Áhugasamir smalahundar á námskeiði Innlent Veitingamenn uggandi yfir erfiðum rekstrarskilyrðum Innlent Lést vegna voðaskots úr haglabyssu Innlent Kona handtekin grunuð um að stinga sambýlismann sinn Innlent Eldur í bíl á Seltjarnarnesi Innlent Ýjar að annarri atrennu að forsetaembættinu Erlent Uppþot á félagsfundi Sósíalista: „Þetta var bara kjánalegt og alger óþarfi“ Innlent
