Honolulu Tabernacle Evacuated in Hazardous Material Scare
HONOLULU, HAWAII -- The Honolulu Tabernacle of The Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints was evacuated Wednesday, October 10th after fumes from old
paint or a similar petroleum-based substance sent twelve people to the
hospital. Fire Department officials evacuated the offices in the Tabernacle
and the neighboring Beretania Foodland Store after they discovered a white
liquid or cream in the trash bin outside the Foodland store. Two of the
people sent to the hospital suffered watery eyes and scratchy throats. The
others were decontaminated and sent to the hospital for observation.
