A glitch in Microsoft services led to chlorine poisoning of 15 people at an amusement park in Brühl, Germany, broadcaster WDR reported.
According to the source, the leak occurred due to a technical defect in the hotel's pool. The automatic chlorine dosing system installed there was supposed to warn of a deviation from the norm, but messages were sent through Outlook and were not received due to a malfunction in Microsoft services.
The victims complained of irritation of the respiratory tract and a sore throat, the "Bild" newspaper reported.
