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 „Eins og að fá hnefahögg í andlitið“ Innlent Eygir vonarneista í fyrsta sinn í marga mánuði Innlent Íbúar mótmæla og vilja börn frekar en byggingu í Gunnarsbrekku Innlent Bílvelta í Kömbunum Innlent Gríðarlegur fjöldi á mótmælunum Þjóð gegn þjóðarmorði Innlent Kennir íslensku en fær ekki ríkisborgararétt að óbreyttu Innlent Ákærðir fyrir hópnauðgun gegn ólögráða stúlku Innlent Segir dregið úr veiðum á grundvelli „Walt Disneylíffræði“ Innlent Sveitarstjórn reyni að skrá íbúa úr sveitarfélaginu og ógni grundvallarréttindum Innlent Tæpir sextíu þúsund fermetrar í eigu ríkisins standa tómir Innlent
