German Town Evacuated Due to Chemical Accident

A chemical accident at a Kraft chemical plant caused an evacuation of part of Bad Fallingbostel, Germany.

Nearly fifteen hundred people were forced to evacuate the area, on Monday.

Hundreds of firefighters converged on the plant, and broke out biohazard gear and tents.

Focus is still on cooling the container to avoid any explosion.

Plant workers accidentally added acid to a tank of sodium hydroxide.

The resulting chemical reaction created hazardous nitrous gasses.
