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 Moskítóflugan mætt til Íslands Innlent „Ég hélt ekki að ég ætti eftir að upplifa svona rosalegt bakslag“ Innlent Gaf í skyn gróft kynlíf, gekk í skrokk á konu og dæmdur í fimm ára fangelsi Innlent Tegundin sé líklega komin til að vera Innlent Hafna aftur tillögu Trumps Erlent Alvarlegt umferðarslys austan við Klaustur Innlent Skikkar bændur í meirapróf Innlent Hafði komið sér fyrir í varðskipinu án leyfis Innlent Brennur fyrir borgarhönnun og sárnaði að vera kölluð hræsnari Innlent Götulokanir vegna kvennaverkfalls Innlent
