Eckartsberga (dpa/sa) - Because of a gas accident, two residential buildings in Eckartsberga in the Burgenland district were evacuated on Wednesday. "The gas line was torn off the house connection for reasons that have not yet been clarified," said a police spokesman. Gas escaped and posed a danger to local residents. The apartment building and the neighboring building were then evacuated. A specialized construction company then came into the building and, according to the police spokesman, disconnected the gas line so that the residents could go back into the houses.
