two telephone engineers in critical condition
Two telephone company staff were fighting for their lives in Caritas Medical Centre after inhaling toxic gas from an electricity generator and collapsing in Cheung Sha Wan.
Police said the two, aged 24 and 27, from New World Telecom, were working in a mechanical room on the 12th floor of an industrial building in Castle Peak Road about 4pm.
Feeling uncomfortable, they asked the building's watchman for help and he called 999. They were in critical condition last night.
