short paragraph about an interesting day at school
Answers
It was a fall day in 2015. Our school had a model rocketry club and they kept their model rockets, and more relevant, their model rocket engines, in a locked cabinet in a hallway outside the classroom of their teacher-advisor.
One day, a chemistry student with too much time on his hands “liberated” a spool of thin magnesium tape from the chemistry lab. This person took a foot long piece of magnesium and threaded it between the doors of the rocketry club’s storage cabinet, and managed to set the ribbon alight. The tape burned into the cabinet and began to set off rocket engines. The doors of the cabinet blew open and a couple of burning rocket engines skittered out into the brick and linoleum hallway and blew down the hallway while students took refuge in the classrooms.
Not all the rockets fired. That was lucky. And several of our teachers leaped into action with fire extinguishers. No one was injured but it made for a day people would never forget. The perpetrator was kicked out of school for good.
And if you knew where to look, you could find scorch marks on the linoleum for years. All the way to graduation and beyond. For all I know, they are still there.
