# 77 Engineers and other disasters We should all learn (me first) to sell the news as does the Tyrrhenian Sea. Precisely on December 28th every peaceful citizen, passing in front of each kiosk, could be read on the poster (with the usual red letters): A
EXPLOSION ENGINEERING
Only those who, like me, you used to take with pliers what the Tyrrhenian screams on its front page, it was not done panic. While the remaining thousands of mothers with a child engineer who studied so poor that in the morning needs the sabayon mum ', and he has to do six meals a day like babies ...
went into a panic and got a call to 118, Red Cross, civil defense and interior ministry to ensure the health of the infant. Ok, now you've realized that the "explosion" is something there was no trace. In essence that has happened in the afternoon, in a laboratory of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, lithium has come in contact with water causing toxic fumes. The question is, after all those hours and hours of lectures, which are in any laboratory safety ... how can these things happen? Well, a laboratory technician by going to the bathroom has brought a bottle inside which was a tablet battery that inadvertently fell into the water causing a chemical reaction which resulted from the fumes quickly spread into the room and then on the stairs the Department. In the bathroom, you understand? At a minimum there is gone with gown and gloves in the bathroom! O_O The genie back in the first degree burns to the hands and face. Hence the immediate intervention of firefighters who have isolated the premises and proceeded to evict the fifteen people present through the windows. The place has come the mercy of volunteers and 118. To be taken to the hospital were immediately laboratory technician protagonist of the incident, admitted to the burns center, and nine other people have reported skin rashes and eye, all hospitalized Cisanello and soon abandoned. The Fire Department, after expelling all employees, made an inspection of the building, where they were reported and damage was adequate ventilation of the rooms because the situation returned to normal within the Department. This, to me, is yet another confirmation that things do not happen by accident, and whether to make the chemical is not your job ... do not! It is not that because one is an engineer must know how to do everything right?
Apart from these misfortunes, which unfortunately happen ...
Today there was an eclipse of the sun that I could almost see nothing ... The sun was partially covered by the Moon from 7 to 11, more or less ... I am able to see the phenomenon only a minute when, with a gash in the sky supercoperto of clouds, the sun came out and then I ran to the window with a sheet of my foot on the eyes (high technology) ... Ugh, I thought of something to photograph! However, I followed live (so to speak) online ...
angle of the book: as soon as I purchase liquids, I'm going to buy and read the book "In Pisa" Renzo Castelli, a novel, in which Pisa is the main character, and Goldoni, Byron, Garibaldi, Dickens, Twain, pastures and many others are the stories, adventure stories where the city has gone through to get to us, ignorant and often ungrateful heirs of his wealth. For a total of 36 distinguished visitors passed through the town of Torre.
