Near Cologne, 15 hotel guests were injured due to excess chlorine in the swimming pool. The security system warned about this by mail, but the letter did not arrive due to a malfunction in Microsoft.
Fifteen guests at the Ling Bau Hotel at the Fantasyland theme park in Brühl were injured after visiting a swimming pool into which an automatic device pumped too much chlorine, WDR reports.
The spa's security system alerted the problem by email, but no one received the letter - as the company told WDR, due to a Microsoft failure on November 13, the letters were not delivered. View, in particular, did not work then.
After the pool, hotel guests complained of respiratory irritation, and rescue and firefighting forces were called to them. Initially, 13 people reported irritation, later there were 15 victims. A total of four people were hospitalized. One of them remains in the hospital under observation with a moderate injury.
The rescue forces checked the pool and found that the automatic dosing system was faulty - the water in the pool was replaced. Firefighters told WDR the pool was closed for a while, but is now open again.
