Not sure what exactly caused it, but somebody fucked up badly enough for this to happen at my school's college of Optics and Lasers:
>somehow trigger volatile gas alarm
>madness ensues
>police speed to the scene and establish a yellow tape perimeter around the building
>everything in the vicinity shut down
>emergency response team waiting outside
>news vans and two copters hovering above
>guys in hazmat suits (pic related, from the incident) storm the building

I had to go to an exam before the ordeal was over, but I'd imagine the guy responsible has taken a lot of shit for it.
