TROUBLE AT THE LABORATORY

Last month form two students in our school had a misery or an accident that would have lost them lives. They were doing a lab experiment of preparing hydrogen gas and without knowledge, their teacher allowed the gas to mix with oxygen and another mistake he did was to light a matchstick because he wanted to test the presence of hydrogen.
The moment he lite the matchstick, the whole set up blew up and pieces of glass thrown in the air. Some students were cut and others burnt down.
Thanks to our laboratory technicians who came to their rescue and applied bases on their skin to neutralise the acids and some were quickly rushed to the Nangina hospital after being done the first aid.
