电台玩过火被罚1.5万英镑
英国伯明翰一家电台上周举行了一个坐干冰比赛，参加比赛的4名听众因为在干冰上坐得太久，结果得了冻苍。上周五，该电台被罚款1.5万英镑。
这家电台上周搞了一个竞赛节目“城内最冷的座位”，让参赛者坐在温度为零下108.40华氏度的干冰上，结果一些参赛者因为被冻伤而被送医院接受治疗。
A British radio station pleaded guilty last Friday
to injuring four listeners who suffered severe frostbite
after sitting on dry ice for a competition.
After the 'Coolest Seats In Town' challenge by BRMB
radio in Birmingham, the participants -- aged between
15 and 30 -- had to be hospitalized and suffered scarring.
'We pleaded guilty and have been fined 15,000 pounds
($25,000),' a spokesman for BRMB told Reuters.
The Health and Safety Executive, the safety watchdog
which brought the prosecution, said the temperature
of the dry ice -- frozen carbon dioxide -- was minus
108.40 degrees Fahrenheit.
