I usually hire janitors for that, but hey ... whatever it takes.
Not good at all.
Well, a chemistry dept fire would have been worse with all these gas cylinders popping up and the witches' brew of many bottles. How much Chem Eng is there?

I thought the article referred to te Real UT.
No Chemistry in Dougherty. Buehler (Chem) is just across the street, though. I was just wandering around there a couple of weeks ago remembering my student days.
If I knew how to use PhotoShop, I'd augment the smoke with additional patterned plumes like that fake Lebanese Reuters photo.
It did. The real UT has always been the University of Tennessee. After all, UT was a college before Texas was a state. : )
Dang, Ole Miss fan thought it might have been Neyland. /sarc of course!

Me too! Heck, it wasn't until I had read several threads on FR that I realized there was more than one UT. For that matter, I didn't know there were Aggies in other states.
In 1794, Texas was part of "New Spain".
"The real UT "
You just gave my husband a good laugh. He's an alum of UT at Martin.

Knoxville Fire Department crews have extinguished a fire in the Nathan W. Dougherty Engineering Building on the University of Tennessee campus.
The fire started just before 3 p.m. in a combustion-engine lab during an experiment involving an experimental engine, fire officials said.
During the experiment, electrical problems in a dynamometer caused the equipment to catch fire. The blaze grew out of control and workers pulled the fire alarm.
The fire spread to another floor, and it took KFD crews more than a half hour to put it out.
No injuries were reported, but UT officials said the building sustained major damage.

Yeah, me too.! Don't listen to all the bogus revisionist propaganda here about their school being the original. They probably tell everybody the Russians invented baseball too. But here's actual proof they're lying: Utenn named their team (the Vols) after the volunteers in the war against Santa Ana for Texas Independence!
So they've always been wannabes. But you notice they just couldn't ever manage to get the right shade of orange for their school colors. It's supposed to be BURNT, yall. Not that wussy ol' "crème d'orange frappé" they've got! Sheesh. And real teasips drink our brew straight with lemon. Those Utenn sissies have to put gallons of corn sweetener in theirs before they can even touch it. Eeeeeuw!
(I do love Knoxville, though. Coolest town outside of TX. I wish we could annex 'em. In fact, it'd be the perfect place if they all just stopped being such irritating little copycats over there!)
LOL I'm so glad someone else thought that! I was sitting here going UT? In Tennessee? Oh duh! *laugh*
*grumbles* There is only one UT . . .
It was a piston engine.
