Eruption in 217!

At 10:15 AM on Thursday 2/10, department members heard a cracking noise and watched as a cloud of smoke poured out from a lighting fixtures in 217. The room was swiftly evacuated and the syntax seminar relocated to the Cave, and soon after, the order came down to keep the lights off in that room until further notice. A riveting experience on a Thursday morning!

Whasc has gathered witness testimony from one of the attendees. Niko Webster, in his second year, writes: “a mildly terrifying experience that thankfully didn’t result in any serious concern- Lightbulb started smoking and making crackling noises. The smell was horrible and definitely toxic (hurray for wearing masks?). Luckily Sarah knew what to do – thanks Sarah!”
