«Breaking News» 26 Florida high school students hospitalized with mystery illness after exposure unknown substance

Twenty-six students and one adult staff member from a South Florida high school have been hospitalized, including some who had seizures, after possible exposure to an unknown substance.

Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue officials say students began feeling ill Monday after the student body attended a morning Thanksgiving prayer in the gymnasium at Cardinal Gibbons High School, Battalion Chief Stephen Gollan told the Sun Sentinel.  

After returning to their classes, some students at the private Roman Catholic school experienced seizures, others had nosebleeds or shortness of breath and some passed out.

Gollan said the students affected students were different ages, different grades, in different classrooms and from varying social circles. 

Because of the variety of victims, officials have been able to rule out a possible prank or drug-induced sickness.

'It was too many students and too widespread,' Gollan said.

Paramedics, ambulances and a hazardous materials team were dispatched to the school after the first 911 call was made at 11.30am. 

Overhead news coverage showed students who appeared to be conscious being loaded into ambulances. 

The school was put on lockdown while the hazmat crew swept the campus, monitoring for gas leaks and taking swabs to test for over 5,000 chemical compounds, all of which came back negative. 

'There was nothing found in any of the hazmat sweeps,' Gollan said. 

'There is no rhyme or reason at this time. We really don’t know. It’s very, very weird.' 

By afternoon, all of those who were hospitalized were stable and feeling better, Gollan reported.  

'They are all improving and their blood work came back negative.'

The Fort Lauderdale Police tweeted that the area of concern was isolated, and there was no need for parents to pick up their children. 

Parents also got a prerecorded call from the school, which has over 1,000 students, about the incident shortly after emergency personnel arrived. 

One parent, Alena Atonelli, immediately called her son, who reported that he had a headache and felt lightheaded but was okay. 

'I’m just nervous because if it’s a leak why do they still have the kids in school?' Antonelli told the Sun Sentinel. 'It’s nerve-wracking.'  

The cause of the sudden illnesses is still under investigation.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
