Virtual red alert summons lifesavers to Limerick

ON a week of major emergencies, a red alert went out in Limerick yesterday.

Broken bones, burns, cardiac arrest, asphyxiation and a host of hazards hit the campus of the University of Limerick when a virtual disaster of epic proportions unfolded at daybreak.

And — unlike most disasters when you’re told to “move along there now” — the public were allowed to attend this free event.
