Ok, admit it, this is a dream come
true, right?? Something we all kinda hope will happen to our
schools. Well this week, it happened to my school. Apparently
an electrical fault caused an explosion in one of the science
labs. The day after I was there for extra lessons so I managed to
get a good look at the damage. A huge hole in the wall of the
building was testimony to the explosion. One class was completely
destroyed and large parts of the department very badly
damaged.
It doesn't really directly affect
me since I don't do science as a subject anymore. But it does
greatly effect some of my best friends who study chemistry for A
level. Needless to say the science department is going to be well
and truly screwed for a while to come with out one of its largest class
rooms, loads of equipment and the only working fume cupboard in the
school.
All I can say for the school is
that they are damn lucky the explosion was in the holidays and not
during school time. Even just a few hours either side of the big
boom there would have been people in that part of the building. My
geography class on the floor below was due to be in use by my class the
next morning after our extra lesson was pushed back from earlier in the
day of the explosion.
This is the second (of a grand
total to 2) school I have been to where there has been a major
fire. The first by arson and this by an electrical fault...Oh
well, school like normal on Monday as far as I know. Just like
last time I don't think a mere fire is gonna make the school give us a
day off!!
