    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The general manager of a Buffalo Wild Wings in the Boston area died after two cleaning agents combined to create toxic fumes in the restaurant’s kitchen, officials said.

    The incident at the restaurant in Burlington began around 5:30 p.m. Thursday, with workers and customers, some coughing, streaming out of the facility as fumes spread, witnesses told CNN affiliate WCVB.

    Thirteen other people – 11 employees and two patrons – were also hospitalized with burning eyes and difficulty breathing, the Burlington Fire Department said.

    A restaurant employee put a chlorine bleach-based product, Super 8, and acid-based cleaner Scale Kleen on the kitchen floor while cleaning it, the fire department said in a news release, citing a preliminary investigation it conducted with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

    “We are shocked and saddened to learn of this horrific accident at our franchise-owned sports bar and are working closely with our franchisee and the authorities while they conduct an investigation,” Buffalo Wild Wings said in a statement, referring all other questions to local authorities due to the ongoing investigation.

    Customers told CNN affiliate WHDH that they could smell a strong chemical odor, and people closest to the kitchen began coughing and moving outside.
