Gunpowder plot: Chemistry lecturer blows up roof in science experiment gone wrong

Your teacher isn’t as cool as ours

This is the moment a chemistry teacher blows off a chunk of the roof as his science experiment goes wrong. 

The Joseph Black building proved itself as the most exciting block on campus when a lecturer literally brought the house down with his demonstration.

Scroll down for video.

The second year chemistry experiment – which to the untrained eye looks like a stick with a balloon on the end – exploded with such force that one of the ceiling tiles fell down, narrowly missing the teacher.

A student from the lecture said: “The explosion was so loud and big that it actually blew the ceiling down. It was mental.

“It was so funny though everyone started clapping”.
