Near-death experience! GOT BOMB!

Title caught your attention?!!
First, I must tell you that the title is... TRUE!!!!!

Yesterday at INTI college, right next to Taylor's, a bomb was discovered. Then, this happened













Fine, just joking.

Honestly, there were rumours about a bomb implanted at INTI and circulating that terrorists did it. Before long, police cars and ambulances were at the scene to investigate... created a hell lot of ruckus and chaos. Traffic jam, ambulance sirens and poor INTI students sitting at sidewalks as they're evacuated from the college compound. Anyway, we should be thankful that a bomb weren't discover. Back at our room, me and Pei was laughing about the bomb and our near-death experiece. Little did we knew, we were going to experience almost the same thing today...



Around 2.15PM



At Biology Lab 2


Today we did an experience to investigate the distribution of catalase in a soaked pea and to determine the different temperatures on its activity. Sounds boring? Ya, you're right! Then, that 'incident' changed everything! That near-death 'incident'!

A group was heating water to prepare as a water bath for the peas.


Observe the image below properly.

There's two openings for gas to come out, one with a tube already and attached to the Bunsen burner. Another is unattached. It was supposed to be like that, and gas weren't suppose to leak out from there! However, it did happened O.O





Scary, isn't it?
Fine, I suck at photoshop (=________=)The real fire that time was really big, seemed like can easily burned down the Biology Lab!

I wanted to catch the picture of the real gas leakage fire with my phone, but Pei was panicking. She really thought she going to die as she thought the gas tank would explode! She was muttering loudly "RUN!!!!!". And even pulled me back from the fire to prevent me taking a picture..... At that time, our whole class was stunned, everyone seemed like grew roots from their feet firmly into the ground, except me and Ana (classmate), both of us was trying to take a picture haha.

Before we knew it, the fire suddenly put off by itself...
Turns out the lab assistant off the main gas tank.
And the chaos died down.

After that "near-death" experience, back to the boring experiment. Everyone was taking precautions heating the water bath. While me and Pei was heating, we panicked slightly as well, cause of the strong gas smell. Thank god, wasn't another leakage!

Finally we completed our experiment!

Then, we had egg for lunch.

Tasty?

Nah, it's was actually our results, effervesence of squashed peas when added hydrogen peroxide. Makes you feel hungry all over!
