The cave party in Oslo: – – I heard people lying scattered

At 03:46 a.m. Sunday, a police patrol found seven unconscious people outside the entrance to a bunker at the Colletts gate on St. Hanshaugen in Oslo.

The reason was that the exhaust gases from two diesel units that supplied electricity to the sound and light systems made the air in the cave life-threatening and several ended up with carbon monoxide poisoning.

A party participant in his 30s tells Dagbladet that there was a good atmosphere at the illegal rave party, and that she never thought the units posed any carbon dioxide hazards.

– More concerned with fire

– The stage was really cool. But there was something a little strange. You have the feeling that something is not safe. I passed the unit several times and it smelled a little like diesel, but then I thought more about the danger of the fire, he tells Dagbladet and continues:

– There were many who, like me, did not connect that it was a danger.

The units supplied power to the lighting and sound system inside the bunker.

The party participant that Dagbladet has spoken with, but who wishes to remain anonymous, says she decided to leave the party on 02-01.

– The danger of infection was one of the reasons I left. It was a small space. It’s quite difficult, and there were a lot of people coming and going, but there were at least 200 people passing, if not more. The main cave was quite crowded, plus there were people in the hallways too, he says.

He had found out about the party through a secret Facebook group.

16 percent oxygen

The party participant didn’t experience any symptoms, but she still went to the emergency room for a check-up Sunday morning when she found out what happened.

– The one who was lying next to me in the emergency room told me that there were people scattered around the unit. As I watched it, it had turned black to him too, she says.

A total of 25 people, including two policemen, were sent to the hospital for treatment after being exposed to carbon monoxide inside the bunker.

Everyone involved should now be out of harm’s way. For five of them, the condition is serious and they receive treatment in a pressure tank, among other things.

When the fire department measured the oxygen level Sunday morning, there was only 16 percent oxygen in the air. Normally, it should be 20.95.

The police have chosen to denounce the organizers of the party.

Dagbladet has also received information that this is not the first time the bunker has been used as a venue.
