Portable diesel generators used to power lighting and sound systems allegedly poisoned some 25 people with carbon monoxide in a bunker in central Oslo
Some 25 people taking part in an illegal rave in a bunker in the Norwegian capital, Oslo, were poisoned by carbon monoxide given off by portable generators, police said. Five people – including two police officers who were first on the scene – were hospitalised in critical condition but their lives are not in danger, the Norwegian news agency NTB said. Two of the five were released from intensive care on Monday, NTB reported.
Up to 200 partygoers in their 20s and 30s had gathered for the rave, which used portable diesel generators to power lighting and sound systems.
Officers discovered the event early Sunday when a police patrol met a group of confused young people in the park where the bunkers lies.—Agencies
