COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — A fire has broken out at a waterpark under construction at one of the Nordic region’s biggest amusement parks, sending a huge plume of black smoke drifting over Goteberg, Sweden’s second-largest city. The blaze on Monday spread across several waterslides at Liseberg park. Police and fire officials could not say whether there were any casualties. Swedish news agency TT said that a nearby hotel and office facilities were evacuated. The water park had been scheduled to open sometime this summer.
