80 schoolkids get sick from contaminated water

From the Daily News:

More than 80 Queens elementary school students were sent to the hospital Tuesday after getting sick from drinking contaminated water, authorities said.

Dozens of children began complaining that their stomachs hurt after sipping from water fountains in a new wing at Public School 20 in Flushing just before 1 p.m., the officials said.

Students noticed pink water in toilets and coming from the fountains - which may have resulted from a chemical accidentally dumped into the water supply by a worker fixing the school's air-conditioning system, officials said.

problem is their union will protect whatever person was so inept.

till we change public union contracts our country is going down the dumper.

just paying the union retirement deals will bankrupt this country.

If they are not smart enough to reconize clean to pink water, are they going to be smart enough to graduate from high school?
these kids don't have any good future.

Union work doesnt mean anything in 2010.
These rackateer unions take anybody willing to pay the dues or work for nothing to "get in".
We have the falling people, cranes, elevators, deaths and all the other shit that could have been prevented to proove it.
Top dollar for shit service, do away with them and hire qualified people you can fire.

I thought the real news here was that the school had working fountains, and that the delightful taste attracted 80 pupils.

It doesn't take ordinary stupidity to feed propylene glycol into a cold water feed, it takes extra-ordinary stupidity to do that.

What's wrong with the water? It's just as good as the water they were drinking in whatever wonderfully diverse 3rd world country they came from.

Fliuxhang..."Vibrant, bustling, diverse"...now poisoned!

Forget it Jake, it's Chinatown.

This kind of shit wouldn't be happening in non-3rd world communities.

Agreed. They are destined to have no future because they attend our shitty public schools, not because they are hispanic.

Thanks QC :) Now as for the Public School System I couldn't agree more. My child is in a I.G.C. class in elementary school and theres NOTHING GIFTED about it, he's bored out of his mind :( we accommodate him at home with a better QUALITY of work:) IMAO THEY WANT DRONES:(

Maybe they were just extremely thirsty and never thought in a million years that their teachers and principal would poison them? Imagine that,small children blindly trusting adults.

Now explain why grown-ups were willing to walk back into the World Trade Center buildings and burn because security told them to. Blind trust is dangerous.
