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 Hefur sætt umsáturseinelti í 14 ár: „Þetta hefur bara rústað lífi mínu“ Innlent Ástand á stúdentagörðum: Ítrekuð innbrot, mat stolið, dýnur í kjallara og hland á gólfi Innlent Fimm handteknir í aðgerðum sérsveitar Innlent Sérsveitin vaktaði heimili Snorra og fjölskyldu í nótt Innlent „Það kemur að því að við lendum í veseni“ Innlent Yfirgefið hreysi víkur fyrir hundrað íbúðum Innlent Lögregla hafi hlaupið á sig á Siglufirði: „Þetta eru einstök prúðmenni“ Innlent „Mér hefur aldrei verið sýnd jafn mikil vanvirðing“ Innlent Guðrún Björk Kristmundsdóttir hjá Bæjarins beztu er látin Innlent Öryrkjar í hlutastarfi oft tekjuhærri en fólk í fullu starfi Innlent
