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 Sambýliskonan sem sá allt og bróðirinn sem þekkti ekki fjölskylduna Innlent Bandaríska sendiráðið elur á ótta við hælisleitendur og útlendinga Innlent Hagsmunir barnanna hafi ekki áhrif á afstöðuna til veiðigjalda Innlent Sakfelldur en ekki gerð refsing fyrir að bana móður sinni Innlent Sósíalistum bolað úr Bolholti Innlent Skellt upp úr í þingsal þegar ráðherra reyndi að mynda hjarta Innlent Veiðigjaldið aftur í nefnd og viðræður komnar á lokametra Innlent Segir mögulegt að hundurinn sé á lífi Innlent Rúv vildi Ísraelsmenn burt en þeir sluppu með skrekkinn í bili Innlent Samfylking tekur aftur fram úr Sjálfstæðisflokki Innlent
