"Floride" Spill Burns Hole in Concrete

A Chemical spill at a water treatment plant in Rock City, caused the whole plant to be evacuated and  teams in Hazmat suits  to be deployed to clean up the spill.  Before the spill could be contained it burned a hole in the concrete driveway. The chemical, Hydrofluorosilicic acid is used to add fluoride to the plants water.  It is highly corrosive.  Yikes!!
