My School almost blew up today.

the gas wouldn't destroy your school by exploding. it would instantly light everything in your school on fire.

Well the police said that even a small spark from a light switch would have set it on fire, and they have apparently narrowed it down to 2-3 people. My school is small so its not that hard. I also heard that if the gas would have been on for 10-15 mins longer that I wouldn't have a school anymore.

I usually said defiantly when I say definitely just because I can.

Edit; that is if the oxygen/gas content is high enough in the room.

Yes, in order to create an explosion their would have to be an ideal mixture of gas and oxygen. Once this ideal mix is created the slightest ignition source such as a lighter, turning on a lightswitch, or even a static spark would cause the fuel to either ignite or explode.

I'm not a scientist either, but I plan on becoming a firefighter so I know quite a bit about emergency response.

The quantity of gas would determine what happened to the school. If it would have ignited right off the bat the structure would remain decently intact but most windows would be blown out. With a large quantity of gas the structure would either explode or completely burst into flames. No good consequences for everyone inside.

What I am having trouble understanding is how students remained in the school until the evacuation. With the quantity of gas you are speaking of that would be highly toxic to breathe.

what i think happened was the gas was in the basement or an enclosed room. the gas slowly seeped through the non airtight room, causing the teachers to notice the gas a lot later. it probably didn't contaminate the entire school, only enough of it to put the school and the students in danger.

Did he die?

GODDAMN YOU. I clicked this, and I was gonna glance at the topic here and there, and then reply 'did u die'..

Oh, the hell with it.

did u die

It wouldn't work. If it was left on over night there would be more gas than oxygen.

>door/window/draft is open letting air in
>gas ignites near oxygen source.
>smoke pours out and oxygen comes in, causing more fire

it's that stuff taht makes cars go vroom vroom
