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 Hætta með ökuskírteini í símaveski vegna Evrópureglna Innlent Ísraelsmenn undirbúi árás á skútuna með Gretu Thunberg um borð Erlent Trump sendir þjóðvarðlið til Los Angeles Erlent „Ertu kannski Íslendingur?“ Lífið Hótar Musk alvarlegum afleiðingum styðji hann Demókrata Erlent Alþjóðlegir sérfræðingar ræða baráttuna gegn myglu í Hörpu Innlent 70 milljóna króna halli vegna uppsagnar samningsins Innlent Rannsökuðu eigin samsæriskenningar um fljúgandi furðuhluti Erlent Þrír reyndu að komast undan lögreglu Innlent Danskar herþotur verða staðsettar á Grænlandi Erlent
