Recent Science Safety Incidents

Below is information provided by Flinn on the recent incidents: 

"On January 2, 2014 a fire and explosion occurred at a New York City high school injuring two students.  One student remains hospitalized with burns over 50% of his body.  Unfortunately, this was the fourth time in four months that similar accidents across the United States have occurred. These accidents are always tragic, and we can prevent them.  The message I wish to send to you is -- learn from these accidents . . . with better attention to good safety practices, accidents like these are entirely preventable.

Four days ago, Hightstown HS was also evacuated because of a science lab incident.
