[VIDEO] Restaurant Customers Vomit BLOOD After Mistakenly Being Served Dry Ice

Imagine sitting down for a nice family dinner, only  to find yourself vomiting blood moments later. You'd probably chalk it up to a severe case of food poisoning, but the reality was far worse. This incident  took place in a restaurant in India where, somehow, the diners were served dry ice in their meal.

Upon ingesting the dry ice, these  unfortunate individuals were immediately wracked with excruciating pain, leading to a scene of chaos as they vomited blood and splashed water all over the floor in an attempt to alleviate their suffering. Rushed to the hospital, they endured a two-day recovery ordeal.

What a nightmare, right? Can you even begin to fathom the repercussions  if this had occurred in the U.S.? Lawsuits would likely be flying faster than you can say "negligence." 



From TMZ:

Local reports say a waiter came by with what the guests were told was a sugar and ice palate cleanser ... but as it turns out, it was actually dry ice -- which led to instant burning.

The effects seemed to kick in right away ... after they put the dry ice in their mouths, they reportedly started bleeding and vomiting in agonizing pain, rinsing their mouths out with water and spitting all over the floor. One guy was throwing up all of his dinner onto the floor.

The cameraman who documented all this didn't end up taking any of the dry ice himself -- he was spared, but only because he was carrying one of their kids ... so he lucked out. Unfortunately, the rest of the adults in his party did take it ... and they suffered badly.

The group was ultimately rushed to a hospital, where they spent 2 days recovering. It was a costly mistake for the restaurant -- the manager was arrested and cops are still searching for the owner, who is said to be on the run. Police are alleging this was an outright poisoning.

Dry ice ingestion has the potential to be fatal ... but fortunately, these folks are reportedly in stable condition. Unclear what exactly led to the mix-up -- but the manager is being quoted as saying the staff somehow got ice into the mix by mistake, and that it was an accident.
