Chlorine leak causes multiple injuries at Apple’s North Carolina data center

Emergency crews were called out to Apple’s data center in North Carolina this afternoon after multiple injuries were reported. The injuries reportedly followed a chlorine leak of some sort at the property although the cause of the incident is currently unknown. A total of 5 people were sent to a nearby medical center following the incident. Apple’s Lisa Jackson offered a tour of the facility where the injuries occurred today to NBC last year. The incident follows less than a week after a fire broke out at Apple’s plant in Arizona. Best wishes for those involved at the facility.

    What does a server farm need chlorine for?

      Some air / water conditioning use it – but usually that’s really old “swamp cooler” systems.
