The night before Sunday, about 200 people gathered for a “rave” party at the Colletts gate bunker on St. Hanshaugen in Oslo.
The escape of two units that supplied electricity to the lighting and sound system made the air in the bunker life-threatening and a total of 27 people were sent to hospital with carbon monoxide poisoning.
On Thursday, forensic technicians completed their investigations in the bunker and Dagbladet was allowed to enter and view the area.
On Thursday night, the Oslo University Hospital reports that patients who were poisoned with carbon monoxide have suffered brain injuries and that some of them are still unable to explain themselves.

One of the things that surprised Dagbladet reporters at the scene was that the ventilation hole that was supposed to provide a sufficient supply of oxygen was so small that daylight barely escaped.
– Safe room with ventilation
There were two diesel generators that produced low levels of oxygen, combined with high CO₂ content in the air. 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.
Dagbladet spoke to the man who transported the main unit to the bunker later that afternoon. He said “professional electricians” place the units in a secure, ventilated room, shaped like a hole in the ceiling or wall.
– Kullos kills!
– Professional electricians participated in the fastening and assembly of the units in the corresponding room. There must have been a hole in the ceiling and it was closed so people wouldn’t enter.
Firefighters and police, meanwhile, have denied having knowledge of any ventilation in the bunker.
When Dagbladet was given a tour of the bunker on Thursday, reporters were able to see the hole in question. The hole is in the door on what is a walled escape route from the bunker, and is estimated to be about 10 cm².

Besides the intake, it is the only air supply in the bunker.
At least three children must have been unconscious in this room. A participant has explained to Dagbladet that the only child lying unconscious here had hit himself and was bleeding from his head.
I found the man bleeding in the cave: – I thought he was dead
– I thought he was dead. When we picked it up to remove it, only the head and the snake were hanging. It was incredibly scary, he says.
On Thursday morning, more than four days later, the smell of diesel is still in the room.
– It could have been a disaster
Since 2012, the Diakonissehuset Lovisenberg Foundation has been the owner of the bunker, after the Civil Defense used the place as a place of alarm for several years.
– The stage was really cool. But there was something a little strange. You have the feeling that something is not safe. I walked past the unit several times and it smelled a little like diesel, but then I thought more about the danger of fire, a party participant explained to Dagbladet.
Grottefest Helper: – We did not enter
So far, two people have been accused of unauthorized access and remain in the bunker, but the police do not rule out that the charges could be extended.
The managing director of the Diakonissehuset Lovisenberg Foundation, Vidar Haukeland, tells Dagbladet that Sunday’s outcome was lucky, after all, as it could quickly get worse.
– This could quickly turn into one of the biggest disasters we’ve had in this country, says Haukeland.
The Oslo Fire and Rescue Service (OBRE) has given a clear message to those who participate or discover parties such as the Bunker Party on Sunday night.
– They must report to the emergency services, because this is really dangerous. Those parties are something that firefighters worry the most because many lives can happen here at once, Lars Magne Hovtun, chief of staff at OBRE told Dagbladet on Sunday.
