Guests were evacuated Sunday night when a smoke bomb went off This could have been me as a kid. I was a lab assistant for a chemistry class and had access to all the chemicals. Of course, I liked to experiment.....
It's amazing I am still alive.

Fourth floor room in an upscale business hotel, is an odd place to be doing chemistry experiments.

The article said guns and bullets were also found in the room.. seems officials are quick to say that it was not terror related...this always is the case..

I once caused my High School to be evacuated. VERY hot sulfur in the heating/ventilation system causes unpleasant fumes.
I was also once responsible for the evacuation of an entire dormitory at Virginia Tech. The lighting/detonation of a single string of 1000 lady-finger fire crackers in a dorm room makes an ENORMOUS amount of smoke... certainly MORE than enough to set off smoke detectors.
This was in the days before “blind panic” became the emotion of the day, though.

We are kindred spirits.
60% confectioners sugar, 40% salt peter. Blend well with Vaseline until sticky. A loosely filled Campbell's soup can with several 1/8" holes will make enough smoke to hide a battle ship.
But the principle knew it was me. ;-)
