Death at McDonald's

   On September 7, a gas line carrying carbon dioxide to the soda machine at a McDonald's in Alabama leaked into the women's restroom.  Ten people were sickened, and one later died in the hospital.  I think it's horrible that ten people were affected before anybody figured out something was wrong.  It surprised me, though, that of all ways McDonald's can negatively impact a person's life, it was a gas leak that actually occurred.
