MUSKOGEE, Okla. -- An employee at Muskogee's water plant will face "severe disciplinary action"

MUSKOGEE, Okla. -- An employee at Muskogee's water plant will face "severe disciplinary action" for a mistake that led to a toxic chemical reaction, which forced an evacuation of the Port of Muskogee, officials said. Emergency Management Director Jimmy Moore said the worker accepted a delivery of sodium chlorite Tuesday and allowed it to be dumped into a container of fluoride. The chemical reaction sent a plume of toxic smoke into the air and some 250 workers and residents were forced to leave the area, although no injuries were reported. Moore said a truck driver told the employee he was delivering "chlorite" and the worker thought the driver said "fluoride." The chlorite was supposed to be taken to another facility where it's used to purify the city's drinking water.

Unbelievable! Surely they check delivery notes?
