An associate reported an evacuation on the U of Delaware campus (Newark, DE) today. The campus was alerted via messaging that multiple buildings were closed and evacuated: “...EHS is continuing to handle a safety related incident. Follow instructions…”
Just got another text: "You called it, somebody accidentally made 20 g of TATP”
So there are lessons learned and those that are kinda learned. Hopefully they caught it before anyone was injured.

PS: Today I read in the Philadelphia Inquirer the vinyl chloride is “odorless sweet-smelling substance”… If an odor falls in a forest, does anyone smell it?
