Fool here nearly missed the evacuation....had music blaring in my ear drums, looked up to see everyone flocking for the door of Q+2, Damn gas getting in the way of my work!

Id say it was the latter somehow or something along those lines. I know we have quite a few idiots in UCC but i dont know if theres people who would do something that could put so many at such a risk.

Well I just heard the bell going there, so it can't have been closed long. There was a fair old reek of gas alright, and the place was packed. First time I've ever been evacuated, I was very excited!

You've supposed to have a space after a comma and there shouldn't be capitalisation after a comma either.

Write it out a hundred times.

I was in that class

.

The whole library was evacuated too. I just fecked off home.

pq0n1ct4ve8zf5 · 03-11-2009 10:44am

I'm assuming everything's open again today? I'd hate to have to have a nap instead of a study this afternoon :pac:

Oh, I do love when that happens

I can smell the gas now in the ORB. Apparently it's all over the place outside ias well. Should I be worried?

pq0n1ct4ve8zf5 · 03-11-2009 11:39am

Ricky91t · 03-11-2009 11:43am

Na just keep going with the lab.

I was hoping my lecture would be canceled thou.

Faith · 03-11-2009 12:17pm

Feck, I'm not on the main campus at all today. Now I'm just going to have to skip lectures under my own steam!

johnny-fatality · 03-11-2009 12:21pm

evacuated again? for crying out loud.. I smelt gas walking through campus a couple of hours ago I think. the gas fairy up to his old tricks...

KnifeWRENCH · 03-11-2009 12:24pm

I could smell it fairly strongly yesterday in the Kampus Kitchen, and someone else said the New Bar had it aswell.
It seems the whole college is being taken over.

I wonder did anyone bother ringing Bord Gais, like all those ads constantly tell us?

Jeebus · 03-11-2009 12:48pm

It's probably just some retard who thinks he's clever ****ing around with stink bombs that smell like gas or something.

Good idea for a medicine student who wants to get an upper-hand mind you. Flake into brookfield library. Let off gas-smelling bomb. Everyone's study is interrupted.

Don't do this.

JamieK · 03-11-2009 12:55pm

In boole 4 this morning and a very strong smell of gas came in and we all evacuated a good ten minutes before any announcement!

Anybody have any real clue of what's happening because people were becoming faint and whatnot...doesn't effect me because I'm just that tough you see!!

Byron85 · 03-11-2009 1:04pm

I need to return 2 books today. ****e.

TanG411 · 03-11-2009 3:08pm

Being in Boole 4 was fun when the smell of gas came.

Nothing better than talking about Renaissance poetry with the smell of gas around. Aaaahhhh

Happened again today, I was in the Boole for English at around 11 and we had to leave. Got to go up the emergency exit way too, which would probably cause more emergencies than prevent cos it's so badly lit. Anyone know what's the story?

hudsonriver · 03-11-2009 4:56pm

My 10 lecture in the kane was delayed today. Security wernt letting anybody into south wing, some smell of gas outside.

Ricky91t · 03-11-2009 5:15pm

lol I highly doubt that a stink bomb would evacuate the whole Library(twice!),It's a bit odd it's happened twice though,I'd assume they'd have a system which shuts off the gas the second theres a drop in pressure in the pipes?

I have to say it was really strong this morning,Didn't even noticed it first thing and then it was very noticeable,Supose it goes through the vents..Lets hope they've sorted it now :pac:

Oh yeah, I got to open the door which led us outside. I should be a hero

.

And that place is terribly lit. Imagine if there was smoke as well :eek:

Byron85 · 03-11-2009 5:30pm

Were there any lectures in the Boole at all today so?? I managed to sleep in till 1 so I missed most of my lectures.

Censorsh!t · 03-11-2009 11:13pm

I had an exam and a lecture in the boole today...one at ten, and one at five.

I couldn't smell a thing...but then again, my nose is kinda blocked.

captainspeckle · 03-11-2009 11:42pm

walked past the library alright at 10 and the smell was pretty strong, i headed into west wing though, dont think there was any evacations there anyways... i was pretty enthrawled by the life and times of hercules though! :cool:

deisedude · 04-11-2009 2:36am

I'm surprised we are on to the third page of the thread about a gas leak and nobody has cracked a fart joke yet:eek:

I found out what actualy happened today(my father was at a meeting about it).

Basicaly they have been testing the ventilation system in the library during the week.do knwo exactly what. But see in the science building they release gas from the roof at certain points in the day and apparently the gas was released at the same time as the testing was going on in the library.With the winds etc etc the gases got circulated through the ventilation system.

Same thing heppened the next day then.

maglite · 06-11-2009 7:29pm

Na dont think so, why then was their a smell of gas in kane, old bar, boole basement, liabary, orb, and up to the student centre.

All this when the wind was blowing the opposite direction to the supposed gas flow . It woudl also take a very large ammount of gas to get that sort of dispersion.

Yeah it does sound weird but im just repeating what staff were told at the meeting. They probably wouldnt tell them what actualy happened anyway.
