Explosion on Colorado Univ campus!

Probably just a chem lab and not a big deal

"Two students were injured around 3:30 p.m. when a student in a chemistry lab mixed water with an unknown chemical while cleaning a container, police said. An explosion occurred.

The student who caused the explosion was taken to the hospital for injuries, including cuts to his face from glass, police said."
