Acid leaks at Pacific Science Center in Seattle

A fire department hazmat team helped clean up the spill of about 10 gallons of muriatic acid at the Pacific Science Center in Seattle.

SEATTLE —

A fire department hazmat team helped clean up the spill of about 10 gallons of muriatic acid at the Pacific Science Center in Seattle.

Spokeswoman Dana Vander Houwen says the acid that leaked from plumbing at 8:40 a.m. Thursday is diluted and used to clean water pools at the center.

Employees were evacuated without injury. The spill was in an area closed to the public and didn't prevent the center from opening on schedule at 10 a.m.

They may have opened on time at 10am...but I'm thinking Hazmat Truck parked out front - maybe not a good day to visit the Science Center.  Posted on July 2, 2009 at 11:58 AM by hatamoto. Jump to comment
