"20 People Sickened By Mysterious Illness In Draper"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "(KUTV) SALT LAKE CITY A Draper business was evacuated after call-center workers began having difficulty breathing and exhibited dizziness and nausea."

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Haz-Mat specialists are baffled as to what caused the physiological symptoms in those victims. The room all 20 were working in is a call center and does not deal with any chemicals or deliveries.

No word on the condition of the three people who were sent to the hospital."
