after the builders demolishing the school swimming pool crushed a chlorine canister causing chlorine to fill the whole school. It was chaos there were 3 fire engines, 2 ambulances, a load of police and loads of news reporters outside the school within like 5 mins.

Heres a picture after most of the chlorine had blown away:

Yea everyones fine I think, thankfully. It was ridiculous, wen it first happened they made us stay inside the school and close all the windows and doors but the chlorine managed to fill the school quickly. So they then set the fire alarm off so everyone would go to the field. Then the fire briggade told us to go back into the school or there could be casualties. So they just ended up sending us all home. There were GCSE exams going on while it happened as well so some people are gonna have to retake them.

Bloody hell. Some contractor is going to get an ass kicking for that one. Might have been an idea to remove the chlorine canisters before bringing in the wrecking ball.
